PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Budget Request for $550,000 for repair of the elevator at the Main Wayne Parking
Garage located at 119 W Wayne St.
SPECIFICS: On June 20, 2024, the Redevelopment Commission closed on the property commonly known as the
Main Wayne Parking Garage located at 119 W Wayne St with the desire of opening it has a full public parking
garage. Staff of both Venues Parks and the Arts and the RDC have been going through the process of getting the
garage ready for public parking. This included updating signage, computer systems and internet connectivity, as
well as new gate equipment. The intention is the garage will operate similar to the other three downtown public
parking garages.
As the south portion of downtown continues to be redeveloped and new buildings are constructed on existing
parking lots, the need for public parking will grow.
The elevator in the building currently needs reconstructed and repaired. The $550,000 would cover the
consultation, design, and replacement of the elevator.
Staff recommends approval.
