Parking Fees to Be Waived
Parking fees at Rockville's downtown Town Square development will be waived during the holiday season in three garages owned by the city. The parking garage on North Washington Street has 224 public spaces, the Maryland Avenue garage has about 120 spaces and the Rockville Pike garage has more than 620 public spaces.
Patrons will still have to pay for street parking at meters in and around Town Square. In January, city officials will announce a date when parking fees will be charged again in the garages.
