The current downtown parking lot next to the library, civic center and city hall should be replaced by a large 4-5 level ramp. It would easily be connected to the skyway allowing easy winter walking toward broadway, and would eliminate any nearterm parking shortage. Additionally it could be a great asthetic improvement, much like the new ramp on UND campus, and could even turn out to be an excellent revenue generator.

Fargo could learn quite a bit for the way grand forks operates its downtown parking.
