Town Center Parking Project

Last week's work included completion of the site’s mass excavation and haul-off, the beginning of new storm drainage pipe installation, continued site grading for new parking areas and new landscaped areas, and the removal of the old curbs and sidewalk along SE 27^th Street. This week, OMA is planning to pour new concrete curb and gutter along SE 27^th Street and continue storm drainage installations.

This week, OMA Construction crews continued excavation work within the footprint of the old Tully’s Coffee building and under Sunset Highway. Crews also continued to haul in new aggregate for base under the new parking lot and topsoil for landscaped areas. Next week, crews plan to continue excavation and grading within the old Tully’s parcel, install a new fire hydrant, and remove the old fire hydrant that conflicts with the new parking lot layout.

Mercer Island City Council will receive a presentation about the parking regulations at the new Town Center Parking Area at its regular scheduled meeting on March 18, 2025. Staff recommend providing a user with two hours of free parking upon registration and having the option to extend their parking to a twelve-hour maximum for a paid fee at the new parking area. Staff recommend using a rate of $2.50 per hour and instituting a daily maximum rate of $12.50.

This agenda item is discussion only and no formal action will be taken by the City Council. Staff will incorporate feedback and return to the City Council for approval before implementation.

Agenda materials for the meeting are available here (Agenda Item #13). The March 18, 2025 hybrid meeting will be broadcast live on MITV Channel 21 and live streamed on the City Council’s YouTube Channel.
