RE: Parking Facilities Query, cont.

Hi Shea,

 

Individuals purchase parking permits to park in the garages, some employers may reimburse employees for their parking expenses, but I don’t have that information. Some businesses or entities lease some parking spaces in the parking garages. Patrons pay parking meters in the Vancouvercenter Park n Go garage or purchase event parking permits. There are some parking meters in the Columbia Bank (formerly west Coast Bank) Park n Go Garage for patrons. Public parking is free in the Columbia Bank Park n Go garage after 6PM Monday through Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday.

 

I don’t have the details readily available of the original construction costs in the late 90’s and early 2000’s of the Vancouvercenter and Columbia Bank Park n Go garages. The City issued bonds to finance the construction of the Vancouvercenter and Columbia Bank Park n Go garages. I will do some research.

 

Please call me or schedule time to meet.

 

Thank you for your inquiry.

 

Mike

Sorry bout message cutoff...

How much did city get in 2013 in fees from businesses benefitting or using parking facilities for employees? How much did County or other govt agencies give city for facility use?

How much originally spent by city to build facilities? What portion of that money was from city taxes? How much did private entities give to build?

Thanks!
Shea
