Durham Hosts City Parking Lots & Structures Urban Design Studio January 9

Input Sought on Creating a Vision for Public Parking Lot Redevelopment


DURHAM, N.C. - Anyone with an opinion on the redevelopment of two City parking lots along Morgan Street as well as design options for future City parking structures should mark their calendar now to attend an Urban Design Studio next month.

A public meeting is set for Thursday, January 9, 2014 beginning at 6 p.m. in The Temple Building, located at 302 West Main St. Hosted by the Durham City-County Planning Department, this studio will provide an opportunity for public input in creating a vision for redevelopment of the public parking lots along the south side of Morgan Street between Mangum Street and Holland Street, and defining important design and functional characteristics for possible future parking structures at those sites.

Participants and downtown stakeholders will be asked to identify and prioritize goals for redevelopment, with the results then being used to create a plan for new parking structures on one or both of these sites.
