Georgetown South residents attend a town hall meeting about the neighborhood s ongoing parking issues.
Parking spaces inside the Georgetown South neighborhood in Manassas are at a premium.
The city has distributed nearly 2,800 parking permits to neighborhood residents that have requested them. The problem: There are just 1,750 parking spaces in the neighborhood, located near the city’s downtown.
The nearly five miles of streets in Georgetown South are maintained by the city, which means when the roads need to be paved or need plowing, city crews do the work. It’s the only neighborhood with publicly maintained streets, which gives it less control over who and how many vehicles can park in the community.
