Downtown Laramie is buzzing with excitement as Laramie Main Street completes its newly named and artistically reimagined parking lot signage. The community is invited to join in the excitement at the Parking Lot Reveal Party on Saturday, July 27th, from 10:00am to 12:00pm. The event will commence with complimentary coffee and donuts at the Moose Lot located on 4th and University. Special edition swag will be available at each lot — you won’t want to miss it!

In the fall of 2023, Main Street engaged the community to rename each of the all day free parking lots throughout our vibrant downtown, aiming to rejuvenate these spaces and encourage more people to park and walk to their destinations. After a spirited community vote, the Wyoming wildlife inspired finalists emerged: Bison Lot (1st and University), Moose Lot (4th and University), Trout Lot (1st and Grand), Jackalope Lot (1st and Garfield), and Sage Grouse Lot (1st and Custer).

Partnering with the Laramie Public Art Coalition, Main Street commissioned Laramie artist Favian Hernandez to bring these names to life through captivating artwork. Each parking lot sign now features a unique character designed to reflect the essence of its namesake animal.

We are thrilled to announce the completion of this project, and we hope our community treasures it as much as we do! Working on this project has been a delightful experience, made possible with the support of our partners: the Laramie Beautification Committee, Stanrod Welding & Plasma, 307 Powder Coating, Digital Blues Print Shop, Laramie Public Art Coalition, our Paul Etchepare Endowment and, of course, Favian Hernandez.
