Do We Need More Parking in Woburn?

City failed to receive grant funding for proposed parking.

But Woburn has been turned down for both grants.

However, the city is not giving up. Mayor Scott Galvin and Planning Director Ed Tarallo told the Boston Globe that the city would explore several state and federal funding opportunities.

Tell us: Does the city need more parking in downtown? Do you support the Walnut Hill parking garage project? Or do you think more parking is needed somewhere else in Woburn?
