DRAFT | 2 march 201819III SITE ASSESSMENTSITE 04: MARSHALL STREET GARAGEOpportunitiesConstraints• Proximity to downtown Core Streets• Proximity to active urban frontage• Parking deck has potential to accommodate special events• Potential to create north south pedestrian link between the library, City Hall, downtown and parking garage.• At the top deck of the parking garage there are no eyes on park• No connection to active urban frontage• Diffi cult access via elevator or numerous fl ights of stairs• ADA non-compliant due to upper deck cross slopes above 5%• Potential elimination of up to 118 parking spaces• Parking agreement with the Theater restricts elimination of parking spaces from garageThere are no eyes on the park, and no connection to the active urban streets surrounding it. Although it has great views, a great potential for North-South connectivity, and is in a good centralized location, this site could cost a great deal to bring into ADA compliance and repurpose as a public park. There are many potential pedestrian connections and key intersections near this site, and many active frontages which could potentially contribute to an active park site. Because this site is at the top deck of the parking garage and there are no eyes on the park, it would need to be a highly-programmed and carefully managed space- which may best be operated by a private concessionaire with a true vision for the space. This type of programming could also potentially compete with other Downtown activities, such as those happening at Courthouse Square. Site Summary 7.B. - Page 24
