What people are saying about the new parking system in Corning's Gaffer District:

* Sue Smith, owner of Brown's Cigar Store, said the parking revisions are an improvement. "The idea is to make everything less confusing and a little easier to follow," Smith said. "The city really jumped on it when we asked them to." Smith said the new rules address the needs of shoppers who want short-term parking for quick stops at local stores.

* Mike Sorge, Co-Chair of the Gaffer District Business Association, says: "Through cooperation with the City, Corning Area Chamber of Commerce, CIDMA, and Three Rivers Development Corporation we've made great progress to make the parking system more simple."

PARKING IN CORNING
Corning's Gaffer District

"Convenient and safe alternatives for parking in Corning's Gaffer District." This automated system, designed with customer input, offers three simple ways to park in Corning's Gaffer District. As a joint project between the City of Corning and CIDMA, this customer friendly system has been introduced.

The system is pay as you enter. The machines accept any coins (dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels) and cash.  The new pay station entrance machines also accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover for no additional charge. 

The Parking Garage machines accept dollar bills (one dollar denomination only) and is the best place to park for long term (more than four hours) parking within the Gaffer District, with the outlying lots being best for fewer than four hours.
