Street Parking Around Bay Street Station
Commuters using nearby street spaces need to distinguish municipal station parking from curbside parking. Montclair’s parking information identifies commuter lots as a separate permit category, so a space near the station is not automatically a station-lot space (montclairnjusa.org).
Train station parking permits in Montclair are valid 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (themontclairgirl.com). The Bay Street Parking Deck is listed at 21 Pine Street in a local parking guide, while the Montclair Center map places the deck at 3-5 Pine Street (themontclairgirl.com; montclaircenter.com). Those differing Pine Street addresses make the posted sign at the space important for drivers choosing between curbside parking and the deck.
