Parking in Maplewood Village - Let’s talk about it

Dean Dafis

As our downtown continues to grow, so does demand for parking. The Maplewood Village Alliance (MVA) is launching a community conversation about how we can improve parking access, increase turnover, and make it easier for customers to support our local businesses.
