Resolution setting a public hearing for 7:00 p.m. on April 22, 2024 for the Vine Street Parking Lot Expansion.  Project # PW23-15

The Vine Street Parking Lot Expansion will construct additional parking to the west of the existing lots located along Vine Street.  The site is a vacant lot owned by the City.  

The new lot will provide 26 stalls of new parking.

The project was included in the FY23 CIP with a budget of $250,000 from the Downtown TIF district.

At the east end of the existing Vine Street parking area the trash dumpster and enclosure are frequently vandalized, requiring continuous clean up and repairs.  To improve this situation, the 100 Block businesses have requested areas for two new trash compactors.  The rented compactors will replace the dumpsters currently being used.

Included in the project is a proposed concrete pad located adjacent to the new parking lot with a new 3-phase electrical service to serve a trash compactor.   The second trash compactor will be located on an existing concrete pad on the east side of the east parking lot.  A new 3-phase electrical service will be added to this location.  The fencing around the existing dumpster will be removed and the area will be converted to two additional metered parking stalls.  The estimated cost of these improvements is $32,600, and will be bid as an alternate.  The trash compactors will be leased by the businesses from a private solid waste company.  

Approval of this resolution to set the public hearing for the Vine Street Parking Lot Expansion project.
