Site Concept Approved by City Council

At the February 20 regular meeting, the City Council approved the site concept for the Town Center Long-Term Regional Transit Commuter Parking Project and directed the City Manager to proceed with design.

The site concept includes the development of a surface parking lot to deliver commuter parking, and will include approximately 40 parking stalls, in addition to bike lockers, bike racks, and other amenities. The Commuter Parking Project site consists of three different parcels - including the former Tully’s Property - acquired and assembled over multiple years for the purpose of providing long-term regional transit commuter parking.

This parking configuration maximizes use of space, while minimizing impact to the adjacent Greta Hackett Sculpture Gallery. There will be no net loss of green space and the project will result in a net reduction in hardscapes and impervious surfaces.

Staff are proceeding with design and updated cost estimates as directed by the Council. Project bidding is anticipated in Q3/Q4 of 2024, with construction to immediately follow.
