Seawall parking fees expected by summer

Paid parking along the Galveston Seawall should became a reality early this summer, city officials said.

Motorists should soon expect to see signage along the Seawall about parking.

Visitors can expect to pay $1 an hour, up to eight hours, to park on both sides of Seawall Boulevard from 6th to 69th Street, and from 81st to 103rd Street. Paid parking will be in place from 10 a.m. -6 p.m. daily.

Motorists may pay for a parking stub at select Seawall businesses, as well as via mobile app, the Internet or mobile phone. Annual parking passes also will be available.
