Parking lots nine and ten will be closed for an undisclosed amount of time, starting sometime in mid-June.
The City leases the land for the lots from the Florida Department of Transportation (Website), which is required to give 30 days’ notice to the City in case of a lot closure. They informed the City of Orlando of the upcoming project on May 4, which means June 4 they could conceivably begin work. The FDOT offices have yet to release a timeline to the public.
The construction project, which apparently involves raising the interstate overpass as part of I-4 Ultimate, will affect a total of 900 spaces. FDOT will allow 25% of the spaces to remain open throughout the process.
According to the Public Information Office, the City of Orlando has been working with regular/monthly lot users to relocate them to alternate parking spaces during the construction and the DDB will launch a public awareness campaign in the next few days.
This is going to hurt.
Really? I’ve never had a problem catching Lyft downtown…
There goes my Solar Bears parking
Those are the best (and cheapest) parking spaces downtown — and with Sunrail not running late, this will create a real problem.
Downtown gonna be an even a
bigger hot mess than it already was

Never saw that… it was always planned close this summer. Been a moving target.
What is that thing that carries 50x the number of people as one more artery-clogging vehicle, oh Lynx. Is that no longer an option?

The solution? Develop the remaining ground lots downtown into parking garages…yesterday.
For all you people fighting for parking, we have free parking at Effin Amazing.
I love that Orlando has Bike Share.
