Subject: New Parking Ramp proposal
As City Council is aware, the City was awarded a substantial grant for the purchase of the old
Snyder Drug property on 9th Avenue North. The grant award was approved based on the City
constructing a new parking ramp to support LRT and to facilitate TOD in the area. The
proposed ramp is about 1,300' from the Hopkins Downtown LRT station. The City has not yet
accepted the $875,000 grant.
At the worksession City staff will discuss: 1) why we need a new parking ramp, 2) the feasibility
of constructing a ramp within the parking lot 700 & Snyder Drug properties, 3) details on the
terms of the grant, 4) information on additional grant opportunities for parking ramp construction
and 5) an outline of the process moving forward.
