Parking ImprovementsBack to Current Projects Granada Garage
Rendering of the Granada Gargage The project is in final design and expected to be in construction within the next fiscal year. The team of Wilbur Smith and Associates and Penfield and Smith are the design professionals contracted for the final design. The Lot 6 parking structure, or Granada Garage, will include the following: 575 parking spaces, paseo improvements, a mid-block traffic signal on Anapamu Street, Downtown Parking office space, and an affordable housing component. The Agency is using $19,000,000 from the Series 2001A bond proceeds to fund the project. Located at the corner of Anapamu and Anacapa Streets, the site is currently developed with a City-owned surface parking lot that is unable to accommodate the existing parking demand generated in the area. The new parking structure will help ease the area's parking deficit by providing much-needed parking spaces for patrons of the area's numerous shops, offices, restaurants, and cultural attractions. 125 State Street
When the development plans for the Railroad Station Improvement Project were approved, a 47-space parking lot was to be constructed on the parcel just south of the railroad tracks (125 State Street). The engineering firm of Flowers and Associates produced the preliminary redesign. The inclusion of a paseo walkway and increased landscaping and a more pedestrian-oriented design has resulted in a reduction from 47 to 40 proposed parking spaces. The final design team consisted of Flowers and Associates, Associated Transportation Engineers, and David Black and Associates, Landscape Architects, for a total contract amount of $47,583. The lot design has secured the Historic Landmarks Commission approval. The project is on-hold pending the status of the private La Entrada project. The Agency has reserved $450,000 for the development of the parking lot. |

In January 2001, the Redevelopment Agency acquired this Caltrans-owned parking lot, located just south of Highway 101 and adjacent to both the Enterprise Fish Company and the Premium Spa & Patio shop. At the time of purchase, the lot presented a constricted circulation pattern, several substandard-size parking spaces, and two poorly located handicapped parking spaces. The Agency re-striped the lot and relocated the handicapped spaces as interim measures to improve safety while a plan was developed for further redevelopment. The project is now entering the final design stage. The lot entry and ticket dispenser will be relocated along Rey Road. The lot will receive a new asphalt surface, new lighting will be installed throughout the site, and a low retaining wall will be erected along the eastern landscaped slope. Plans call for replacement of much of the perimeter landscaping, however, a large existing Canary Island Date Palm tree will remain. Forty-two automobile spaces and motorcycle parking will be provided. Construction is expected to be complete in spring of 2003. |
