Downtown parking regulations getting updated in FXBG
With the completion of the major construction sites at Riverfront Park and William Square, final parking signage is planned to be installed by the City of Fredericksburg in these two areas by the end of May 2024.
The Riverfront Park parking lot, located on Sophia Street near Wolfe Street, will be converted to two-hour parking 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Riverfront Park was opened in 2022 and awarded the Virginia Recreation and Park Society’s “Best New Facility” in 2023. It features newly opened public restrooms, as well as accessible play areas and river views, free public Wi-Fi and solar powered lighting. The park is located directly across the street from the City’s public parking garage, which has 297 spaces and supports the parking needs of downtown’s visitors and businesses.
Additionally, the final on-street parking signage around the William Square project (focused on the 600 and 700 blocks of Amelia Street, as well as Douglas, William and Winchester streets and Washington Avenue) will be implemented by the City in an effort to support the nearby businesses while protecting area neighborhoods.
