The Town of Davidson is taking steps to provide easier access to parking options for shops and restaurants downtown. Parking management was an issue identified by the recent Downtown Small Area Plan process as needing improvement. Returning to pre-COVID enforcement levels and the proper use of designated 2-hour parking areas will ensure turnover of parked vehicles and help allow more residents and visitors to access places of business downtown.

To view a map showing 2-hour parking spaces, as well as unrestricted parking spaces, please see www.townofdavidson.org/parkingmap. Note that the Town of Davidson leases the parking lot (31 spaces) at Davidson Presbyterian Church (214 Depot Street) for all-day parking.

Courtesy violation notices will be placed on vehicles from now until October 1st and after the 1st citations will be issued for parking in a designated 2-hour parking space for over 2 hours (Ordinance 70-88). The town has hired Blake Jordan as its new Code Compliance Officer to help with this process. As the town continues its search for creative parking solutions, one of Blake’s responsibilities will be the enforcement of 2-hour parking in designated areas.
