2020 REVISED PARKING GARAGE DESIGN BEING CONSIDERED

The City Council is reviewing plans for a revision to the design of the voter approved Parking Garage. The newer design will have a smaller footprint while still containing 345 parking spaces.

This proposal was developed to address questions and comments raised by members of the public before and after the bond vote. The goal was to improve the project if possible while still providing the new parking and hotel project in downtown.

Key changes include:

  • An improved direct sidewalk and recreation path connection from State Street to the new Recreation path.
  • A smaller building footprint so that the new garage is less visible behind Christ Church.
  • Larger vehicle/truck turning and maneuvering space in the 60 State Street parking lot.
  • Slightly larger path between the hotel and garage, also linking to the new recreation path.
  • Flat floor parking (rather than ramped floors). Allows exterior visual improvements and potential future adaptation for other uses if necessary.
  • Additional landscaping.

The City Council will be discussing the design revision on April 22nd. We welcome comments and feedback about this design.
