City of Kalamazoo Parking

The new Pay-by-Plate parking kiosks have features that make paying for on-street parking seamless and hassle-free. See the explanation below to learn more about the change to the parking experience.

What is going to happen?

• The City of Kalamazoo, through its downtown parking arm, Park Kalamazoo, has installed four pay stations in the 90-minute on-street parking spaces in the Kalamazoo Mall on Burdick Street.

Where will the changes happen?

• The kiosks, also called pay stations, will be installed along Burdick Street between Michigan Avenue and Lovell Street.

Why is the Park Kalamazoo installing new kiosks?

• Meters are part of a downtown parking plan that seeks to improve the parking experience, enhance livability, and foster economic development. Free 90-minute parking was established in the two City parking garages late last year. Metering the more heavily used on-street parking, such as at the Kalamazoo Mall, goes hand in hand with offering free parking in the nearby decks.

What will the parking rate be?

• The parking fee will be $2.00 per hour.  Keep in mind that the pay station is not able to make change. The pay stations will also accept credit/debit cards.  We also offer ParkMobile and Oobeo as mobile payment options.
