Hutton Lane Car Park (GPS: 5.41953, 100.33117), or Tempat Letak Kereta Lorong Hutton, is a multi-storey car park along Hutton Lane, George Town. It was built in the mid 1980's on a site that was also formerly used as an open-air car park.
The Hutton Lane Car Park is located across the street from Eden Steak House. It helps to ease the parking problems of the surrounding areas. A check at the car park shows that it is usually full, although the surrounding streets continues to face parking problems. In other words, the number of parking space in this part of George Town is still inadequate.
However, rather than tearing down the heritage buildings to build more park space in the city, the local authorities should look into encouraging more people to take the bus and deterring them for driving into the city. This includes continuing to improve on the bus service, educating the public on the various bus routes, informing the public of the low cost of taking the bus, reducing the waiting time for buses, imposing toll for entering the city centre and increasing parking fees.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
