A pilot parking initiative went so well in German Village that the city of Columbus plans to expand the effort in 2021.
When the weather warms up this spring, the city will paint South High Street between East Livingston Avenue and Kossuth Street with T-shaped markings designating parallel-parking spots, said Robert Ferrin, assistant director of parking services with the city.
The pilot initiative, which took place from Aug. 2 to Sept. 2 on South Third Street in German Village and included the special parking-spot demarcations, largely was deemed a success, Ferrin said.
Looking to create more efficiency on the South Third corridor, parking-services workers used special T marks on both sides of the street between Columbus and Kossuth streets and Willow and Sycamore streets for the pilot initiative.
