Second Street Parking Lot becomes private effective November 15
The Town of Cobourg is advising community members of an upcoming change to municipal parking. Effective Sunday, November 15, the Second Street Parking Lot, located off Albert Street and Second Street, will no longer be available for municipal parking and will become a private parking lot operated by the landowner.
As a result of this change, Town of Cobourg parking permits will no longer be valid at this location. Community members who regularly use the lot are encouraged to consider alternative municipal parking locations. All other municipal parking lots will continue to operate as usual.
