Those against were Boyd Gregg, William Dudley Gregorie, Robert Mitchell, Caroline Parker, Kevin Shealy and Keith Waring. Those in favor were councilmen Ross Appel, Stephen Bowden, Karl Brady, Jason Sakran, Peter Shahid and Mayor John Tecklenburg. Jason Ward, president of Landmark Enterprises, said at the meeting that Options 2 and 3 would essentially be council “going back to the starting line” to get approvals.ĭespite 15 residents speaking in favor of Option 1 at the meeting, the council ultimately deadlocked. The city’s design and review board has already approved design plans for that option. Only Option 1, with the underground parking lot, is shovel-ready.

The underground parking lot itself would cost $23 million to create. Option 2 included a parking deck (a $35 million to $37 million city investment) and Option 3 included surface parking (a $21 million to $23 million city investment). Option 1, with the underground parking lot, would have been a $45 million investment by the city and a $30 million investment from development partner Landmark Enterprises. The main difference between the options was cost and parking. All options included a performing arts center/civic space, shopping area and green space that members said would be able to host movies in the park, food truck rodeos and more social activities.
