COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The top floors of two downtown Columbia parking garages will close for the winter next week.

Beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, the top floors of the Fifth and Walnut Parking Garage and the Short Street Parking Garage will be closed to all traffic and parking, according to a Wednesday press release from the City of Columbia.

They are expected to fully reopen Monday, March 23, 2026, weather permitting, the release says. The tops of both garages close each winter to make it easier on staff to “manage snow events more effectively,” the release says.

Chains and cones will block access to the top floors.
