Great commentary. I remember the flap over creating the park well. And I also remember how beautiful the DATMA wind sculpture there was a few years ago! Sadly, though, parking is NOT free at the Elm Street Garage, unless the city website isn't up to date. Here is the link to the price structure: https://www.newbedford-ma.gov/traffic/garage-rates/

Good catch-- thanks, Joanna! I haven't parked there in a long time, so didn't know that. From the city's perspective, it's great they get revenue for car storage.
