April 2022 Update: Parking Structure Questions

Thank you to everyone that attended the public open house and provided feedback. The project team has reviewed comments and is working on the next steps to bring the draft plan to adoption. Residents have asked some questions about the draft recommendation for a potential parking structure directly south of town hall. We value resident questions and engagement and are still in the early planning stages. We have included some additional details below.

Will any steps be taken to address safety and security in the parking structure?

Yes, the structure will likely be designed to have appropriate lighting for day and nighttime parking and utilize security cameras.

How will cars access the garage?

The garage will likely utilize an access control system with lift gate arms to let cars in and out of the structure.

How tall will the garage be?

The garage would be no more than three levels. Even at three levels it would not surpass the adjacent town hall building in height.

Will the garage have a level of underground parking?

Adding an underground level was not originally an option the project team explored, but it could be considered moving forward and would need further study. Adding underground parking would likely significantly increase building costs.
