PARKING STUDY ALMOST COMPLETE
Planning Director Hunter Simmons said preliminary results of a parking study by Walker Consultants shows up to 700 more spaces may be needed in the downtown area within the next ten years, to keep up with the current pace of growth.
The consultant was hired last March to help the city develop a strategy for more parking -- and how to pay for it.
Final results of the study will be presented to the public later (two months?) for more discussion, Simmons said.
A second parking garage or even "adding on" to the current one are some options mentioned previously.

I would think if the City has the money to invest our tax dollars in unnecessary properties such as strip of property for the clock; they could invest in a trolley shuttle.
I also hope that we will elect leaders this time that can think and execute some ideas to make these needed changes. The current band of brothers SITTING on the Council knew this was an issue for over a decade. The light coming out of the tunnel is a freight train, pivot!
