Grand Ave. parking ramp to be greener
The owners of a downtown parking ramp want to make it a little greener.
Work is expected to begin in early May on about $350,000 in facade work to the South Grand Avenue parking ramp, which will replace some of its concrete shell and add living vines.
The ramp's owners also plan to add secured bicycle parking and locker room facilities to the structure - a nod to "green" commuters who might not otherwise have a place to park their wheels.
...
The ramp will include about 30 spaces for bikes, Elliott said. Those spaces could rent for less than $20 a month. Parking a car in the ramp costs between $99 and $130 a month.
...
Meanwhile, work on the parking ramp will continue and the old City Club building could come down in the next month, Elliott said.
