Agree. It is misplaced optimism at best. They should choose large open space somewhere else & build from there.

A 301 bypass should be the first thing built, but it's not even part of this plan. In out-years it is a possible consideration. 301 should be rerouted to the west side of the tracks all the way from the Turnpike up to the bridge by Oakwood Express.

Needed a WaWa today so traveling 301, the property cleared is very tiny for a parking structure. Within walking are couple thrift store, Miz Kathy restaurant and bakery. Little farther down train store. Driving I couldn’t see how many fronts are empty, but seems a lot.

Have to say we used to stop at Miz K, but just not as good as it once was. Rarely go to thrift stores p, so unless they are bringing in new business to fill empty store fronts. I have no worries I will need a parking spot

You’re kidding right? They are in charge I’m willing bet they will get free pass for parking.

Unless you don't own a car and walking or bicycle is your only means of transportation...

I've never had a problem parking there. 120 more spaces won't make any significant difference.
If they are pay-to-park spots, will go to other places with free parking. Unless they give me a free pass since my tax money is paying for that

Unless the motivation for the parking garage first is to provide space for City Hall employees and visitors?

How many employees work at city hall? 20, 50, 100
How big is this perceived problem?

I was specifically responding to the "sidewalk comment"...
