MISCELLANEOUS.
Public Works Director Zurn provided the Transportation Visioning Committee with a
status report related to a grant application for a proposed parking structure at the
Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB). The proposed structure would increase the
parking at the north CVB lot to 300. He said the grant is a 20% / 80% matching grant
and that the Town would be exploring additional funding possibilities to help with the
Town's match if awarded. He said if the grant is awarded to and accepted by the Town,
construction on the proposed project could potentially begin in the fall of 2013. Dir. Zurn
also reported that the NEPA Study is underway in which additional sites for a
transportation hub along Highway 34 are being considered. The sites being studied
include the CVB site as well as expansion of the marina parking lot, Lot 4, Wiest parking
lot, Performance Park, the ice house lot, and Elkhorn Lodge. He said the NEPA study
process includes public outreach in order to receive community feedback on the
alternate sites.
