[Vision2020] Fwd: The Kirk Kathedral: The Architectural Plans

[B. J. Swanson]

Dan,

The parking lot south of Lewis Street near the Wren Garden is owned by
Gritman, not the City. 

Gritman is experiencing a parking crunch now just like many others in the
downtown area.  Unlike other businesses, Gritman is open 24/7/365 so to try
and timeshare Gritman parking lots would not work.  

As human nature goes, people usually try and find the closest parking space
possible.  To say the Sweet Avenue lots would work for downtown parking is
unrealistic.

"Let me spell it out for you, Pat.

P - A - R - K - I - N - G

Parking at another facility may only be considered significant.  At a
hospital it is imperative."

Looking at Tom's picture at
http://www.tomandrodna.com/The_Tower/Cathedral_Location.jpg you can see
the Gritman lot due east of the subject property.  Just south of that
one, across Lewis Street (where the old Wren House used to stand) is a
public parking lot -- city owned -- just like the Jackson Street lot
between Friendship Square and the Royal Motor Inn.  I can't recall if
there is a time limit there or not.  Also, couldn't churchgoers use the
Sweet Ave lot on Sundays, thereby leaving the Gritman lot for Gritman
patrons?  Not too much of a jaunt from there to the subject property.

Just thinking out loud, or in type anyhow, as a casual observer.
