About this Location

Facility Overview

Conveniently situated in the bustling heart of Annapolis’s historic West Street corridor, the parking lot at 138 West St. offers prime open-air surface parking managed by Parking Management Company (PMC). Located at the corner of West Street and Munroe Court, this paved parking facility provides quick, ground-level vehicle access right within the city’s thriving Downtown and Arts District. Because it is an open-air surface facility without an overhead ceiling or restrictive clearance bar, it is exceptionally accommodating for large sport utility vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, and vehicles with rooftop cargo boxes or bike racks that cannot fit into older downtown multi-story garages.

The lot’s strategic position makes it an ideal launching pad for exploring the culture, culinary scene, and historic sights of Annapolis:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward from the north side of West Street at the Munroe Court intersection. West Street serves as the main east-west arterial connecting downtown Annapolis to Westgate Circle, Spa Road, and Rowe Boulevard (MD-70), which connects directly to US-50 and Interstate 97 for rapid regional transit to Baltimore and Washington, D.C. For local public transit, visitors can hop aboard the City of Annapolis Free Magenta Shuttle (Circulator), which stops along West Street mere steps away to whisk riders toward Main Street, City Hall, and the harbor without walking. On-demand micro-transit via Annapolis GO also operates throughout the district.
