A single space in a parking garage can cost $20,000 to $50,000, a small 100 spaces garage costs 2-5 million to construct. So don't be surprised if you are asked to participate in the costs of garages.<br /><br />Just a tip if you are having trouble finding parking in Old Town. Based on our surveys there are usually over 100 spaces available in the public portion of the Colorado Commons parking garage. The garage entrance is on the north side of Colorado west of Myrtle. Ideally I'd like to see this garage and the Paragon garage used for Old Town employee parking, but until that happens there will be spaces available in both.<br /><br />R Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648696155527411883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225097338021040513.post-82424108705636192332017-06-20T10:57:22.477-07:002017-06-20T10:57:22.477-07:00Notice that Oliver Chi did not comment on whether ...Notice that Oliver Chi did not comment on whether or not this will continue to be free parking.
