LCDC Seeks Alternate McEuen Parking

In the Lake City Development Corporation minutes from meeting last week, is this discussion re: alternative parking during McEuen Field/Front Avenue reconstruction this summer:

"Parking Committee Chair Jim Elder shared that planning efforts are underway to develop temporary parking solutions for the upcoming 2013 McEuen Park construction project wherein the remainder of the existing 3rd street surface parking lot will be removed for park construction. Commissioner Elder invited Terry Cooper, Downtown Association Manager, to visit with the Board on this matter. Commissioner Elder asked if there will be any temporary parking available to the public in the McEuen Park construction zone once construction commences this spring?

  • Mr. Cooper shared that no temporary public parking will be available on the McEuen construction site once construction commences.
  • Mr. Cooper shared that he is working on temporary parking solutions for the construction time period.
  • Complete minutes of LCDC meeting Wednesday here.

Question: Do you fear that parking in downtown Coeur d'Alene will be a nightmare this summer?
