The Danville city council has okayed spending 44 thousand dollars for a study of downtown parking needs. Operations Administrator Dave Ruwe says a firm would examine the current parking system and determine the most effective method for the city
He said the study will include all options and examine what should be done with the parking garage. City Engineer Sam Cole says the study will be part of a larger examination of needs downtown.
The city council also okayed a zoning change to allow a local church to have a bus station for workers, including for second- and third-shift employment. The Tabernacle of Praise Church property at 610 Robinson St. was changed from single family residential to general commercial zoning. The property would continue as a church. The parking lot and one room of the church would be used for the bus terminal and for drivers to clock in and take breaks.
