SUBJECT: <br />DOWNTOWN PARKING STRUCTURE DISCUSSION <br />DATE: <br />NOVEMBER 27, 2018 <br />PAGE 2 OF 5 <br />(Voltage) moving forward with constructing their approved building along Main <br />Street. <br />To advance discussions about adding parking supply in downtown, the LRC allocated <br />funds in their 2018 budget to conduct a conceptual design for a parking structure <br />located within the 600 block of Main and Front streets. City Council discussed an initial <br />version of an expanded study on July 5, 2017. The RFP was finalized at the LRC's <br />February 12, 2018 meeting. <br />The LRC engaged Desman Inc, and DAJ Design to conduct the parking structure <br />conceptual design. The contract was approved at the LRC meeting on June 20, 2018 <br />and at the City Council meeting on July 3, 2018. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />Since the contract has been approved in July, 2018, the LRC, Desman, and DAJ <br />Design have been hard at work analyzing the site and developing structure designs to <br />achieve an efficient, thoughtful concept that fits as best as possible within the downtown <br />Louisville context. <br />Desman kicked off the project by meeting with the LRC and City Staff (Planning, Public <br />Works, and Engineering) in separate meetings to learn about the site, goals, and <br />challenges each group sees with the project. The parking structure may have two <br />different footprints within the 600 block of Main and Front Streets, the first being an <br />east/west orientation crossing the alley, and the second being a north/south orientation <br />within the current Front Street parking lot directly to the south of the Lucky Pie property. <br />mai ial1 <br />, _Igis fir <br />The above map highlights the two footprints for the parking structure.
