Council To Debate Arcade Parking Garage Bond Tonight

The Common Council will have a special meeting tonight, to discuss a proposed bond ordinance to fund the "Planning, Design, Engineering, and Deconstruction of the Arcade Parking Garage." The meeting starts at 6PM in council chambers.  There is a public hearing.

The bond would be for $750,000. 

The charter requires a voter referendum before any bonds greater than $750,000 can be taken out. The Council routinely circumvents this by splitting projects into smaller pieces.

Last week the council approved a bond of $500,000 to fund the "Planning, Design, Engineering, and Construction of City Public Parking Improvements."

And a second bond of $375,000 to fund the "Planning, Design, Engineering, and Construction of Surface Parking Lots in the Downtown Area.

Just like the $750,000 to pay for half of Wesleyan's new tennis courts.
