Clermont’s Parking Dilemma | Orlando News

Clermont’s downtown future is in flux as the city eyes a new parking garage — sparking heated debate among locals. Business owners like Tim Adams fear it’ll block views of key spots like Mullets and Family Table, while residents like Jared Batchelor warn of traffic chaos and safety risks for kids and pedestrians. Two sites are under consideration: behind City Hall or near Seventh Street and Minneola Avenue — the latter already has parking, making it a quicker build. But some, including Amanda Walsh of Cheeser’s Palace, argue waterfront placement could tank property values. A special committee is still weighing options to balance parking needs with preserving Clermont’s charm — no final decision yet.
