Title
Discussion of issues related to parking at the City Hall Complex during construction of the new City Hall and Dow Park Improvements.
Body
Summary: We are all aware of the shortage of parking here at the City Hall Complex, especially in the summer months when the pool is open and the park is experiencing its peak season. This year we will have both the construction of the new city hall building as well as improvements to Dow Park (Pavilion, etc.) that will be going on simultaneously. The City Hall construction project will require a laydown yard on a non-pervious surface, such as an existing parking lot, and a place to put a construction trailer. It remains to be seen what needs the Dow Park Pavilion contractor may have. Nonetheless, these projects are anticipated to have a negative impact on parking here.
Staff would like to discuss the options available to help with the issue of parking during the construction projects.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact: No impact.
Recommended action: For discussion only
