Businesses OK w/parking garage

Just like the cars Pam and Pat Tackett supplied with parts, the couple’s business has been rolling along on all four cylinders for decades.

Soon, though, the couple’s North Idaho Import Parts on the 200 block of Third Street in downtown Coeur d’Alene will go the way of a pop song.

“They’re going to tear down the building and put up a parking lot,” Pam Tackett said.

For more than a decade, the city and its urban renewal agency, ignite cda, have been planning to accommodate an increase in downtown traffic with additional parking at its lot along Coeur d’Alene Avenue between Third and Fourth streets, north of the Federal Building.
