In 2014, The City of Pittsfield finalized a study that resulted in a series of recommended strategies to improve parking. Since then, many of the recommendations have been implemented and the City wants to know more about your experience with these changes.
Please complete this short survey by January 28! Paper versions of the survey are also available and can be picked up/returned at the City Clerk's office on the ground floor of City Hall, 70 Allen Street.
