Responsible Department: City Manager Commentary: Construction of the new parking garage, while providing a long-term solution to the parking problems of a portion of the down- town area, will create animmediate short-term parking problem. Approximately 130 permit spaces will be .lost during construction. In addition, a small portion of the stop and shop lot will also be lost. Staff has developed a number of proposalsto address this short- term problem. A temporary 100 space parking lot is proposed for the Front Street area adjacent to the tank farm. In addition, a temporary 50-60 space lot may be constructed on the old gas works property site. This may also address parking problems relating to reconstruction of Main Street. The entrance to the stop and shop lot must also be relocated and the attendant 'building moved. As a separate item, the current v policies in. place for the stop and shop lot must be reviewed toinsure rapid turnover for shoppers. Staff will be prepared to fully discuss our temporary options at the meeting. These funds are required i order to fund the construction work to be carried out by our crews to prepare these temporary facilities. The actual cost may be substantially less. However, Our feeling is it is better at this point to provide the maximum funds which may be required in order t0 ie that no delays d experienced. your approval of the attached order is requested. e Item No. Few —ot— Item No. page—of Item/Subject: Responsible Department Commentary: Manager's Comment: V.
