Background

The Lawrenceville Mobility Enhancement District (MED) is a mechanism to address curbside management issues and parking demand, while also funding mobility improvements in the neighborhood. This tool allows for additional funds generated by dynamic hours and dynamic pricing of paid parking areas to be used for a variety of mobility improvements, including bus shelters, parking enforcement, street trees, and more.

Legislation for the program was passed in late 2023 after months of community engagement and planning. The first phase of implementation began in November 2024 with the start of evening hours of enforcement for existing paid parking areas on Butler Street.

MED Trust Fund Planning & Community Engagements

To gather community input on priorities for the use of funds collected from the Mobility Enhancement District, Lawrenceville United and Lawrenceville Corporation are hosting three community meetings this summer. A virtual survey will also be distributed.
