Parkade Plan Prompts Debate On Downtown Parking Needs
Alderman Harry Yuill’s ten month study finds a downtown parking shortage with a need for about 500 more spaces. A proposed Market Square parkade with 444 stalls and a 200 stall surface lot would net 557 spaces but cost around 5 million dollars and run a yearly deficit over 600 thousand. Four financing options include city funding, merchant funding, higher rates and taxes, or free parking. the committee favors charging users and merchants to share the cost, while noting parkade is not purely public. City council must gauge merchant support and land use before proceeding.
