9th Avenue Garage Expansion (MCFP)

 

May 12, 2008

The 9th Ave Parking Garage Expansion is the addition of a second 1000-car garage east of the existing parking garage located on the corner of 9th Avenue and Medical Center Drive. This garage will occupy the site of an existing university surface parking lot along 9th Avenue. The construction is slated to begin in the summer of 2008 and to be completed in late summer 2009. The alleys adjacent to the project will be resurfaced or replaced, depending on underground conditions. Traffic flow in and around the site will be temporarily interrupted at times as construction and utility work commences.
