» Spring Street Parking Park – Complete
In the fall of
1999 the DDA purchased and razed a vacant building in order to build
access from Baraga Avenue. Purchase of the railroad right-of-way which
divides the parking lot is also planned. Parking Lot construction
cost is estimated to be $375.000. The re-design will add 63 spaces
to serve the Front Street/Baraga Street businesses and encourage building
on private parking lots in this area. The City has committed to an
infrastructure improvement project for Spring Street which will include
lighting and streetscape improvements. One property owner has already
committed to building on a vacant lot on Front Street based on the
parking lot. |

» Rosewood Walkway - Lakeshore Blvd Street Parking Project - Complete
  |
The 'Rosewood Connection'
between the 200 Block of Front Street and Lakeshore Boulevard continues
to be a work in progress. The design has been completed and approved.
The concrete pillar has been removed to open the view from Front Street
to Lake Superior. The walkway will easily carry walkers from the planned
parking lot along Lakeshore Blvd. to be constructed or from Downtown
to the Lake. Construction should take place in 2002. These projects
are components of the EDA Marquette Business Regeneration Grant project. |
