Convert the Old Courthouse into a Parking Garage for Residential Convenience

The Issue

Turn the Old Courthouse at 360 Gorham St. into a Parking Garage!

The Back Central area is facing a parking crisis—fights, vandalized cars, and rising tensions over limited spaces. Now, a new 39-unit development with only 13 parking spots will make things worse.

The solution is clear: Convert the underutilized old courthouse at 360 Gorham St. into a parking garage to reduce congestion, prevent conflicts, and improve our community. Studies show that better parking increases neighborhood satisfaction by 68% (Parking and the City, Donald Shoup).

Let’s make this happen! Sign the petition to urge local officials to act now.
