Free Parking in Harbor East

As construction continues to take over Harbor East, restaurants and retailers are offering free parking. 

 

Stores are offering four hours of free self-parking at either the 1001 Fleet Street Garage or the Legg Mason Garage with a retail purchase during the current construction period. Shoppers will receive a "chaser" card that can be used at these two garages. However, there is no complimentary street parking. Discounted parking for restaurant dining is venue specific, so be sure to check ahead of time. 

Even though construction can create chaos, free parking isn't so bad!— Margaret Dyer, intern
