The structure will be sited on two existing surface parking lots owned by the city and located both north and south of E 6th Avenue, east of N Wells Fargo Avenue and west of N. Civic Center Plaza.
Total project cost is estimated at $15.2 million. On July 1, 2024, the city council approved the initial $2 million of funding for the preconstruction and design services phase of the project. The remaining cost to construct the project is being made as a General Fund request during development of the FY 2025/26 budget.
Design work began in March 2025 and will take place for the rest of the year. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in the fall of 2026.
The project team is currently in the data collection phase and will be conducting survey work at the current site. The project team will meet with the community to go over site conditions and explore design options early in the design process.
