the existing parking lot.
Will there be any additional buildings in the location of parking deck area and north?
Possibly, not likely for 20 plus years.
Î
How will the delivery trucks back into the loading area
The delivery trucks will come off Main Street and pull south and back into the
Î
delivery area. The fire lanes will be modified to accommodate the trucks and
emergency vehicles.
Will there be on street parking on Central Avenue?
No. The original design for the parking deck has been modified to accommodate
Î
the additional cars. The drive approach has been shifted north away from the
East Southlake Blvd. intersection to help with stacking depth on southbound
Central Avenue. Additionally, the entry drive will be 3 lanes, one for entry and 2
exit lanes for right and left turns.
What is the timeline for the development
Anticipated City approvals in October 2013, construction to begin in January
Î
2014 and opening in October 2014.
Resident likes murals and possibility of the Art Community getting involved in the murals.
