WPA Eyes Two Parking Expansion Options for Downtown
Winchester Parking Authority presents two expansion plans to City Council: a new deck at Braddock Street Auto Park or a multi level facility on the Cameron Street lot near Kent Street. The council weighs using the Cameron lot for an administrative complex as the city may reclaim the land until WPA bonds are retired. The Braddock Street garage could be paid off by 1983. The authority reports revenues ahead of projections while space for long term users remains tight. A Health Department briefing covers a USDA diet program seeking a fiscal agent, and the State Water Control Board approves corrective steps to meet the city sewage permit with a January 1 1978 deadline.
