Nearby: Ithaca, NYThe Seneca Street parking garage is in the middle of a tug of war. The Ithaca Common Council is moving ahead with plans to try to replace the decaying garage with a housing development without a parking requirement. Downtown Ithaca businesses are fighting back. They argue that the loss of publicly accessible parking will harm commerce on the Ithaca Commons, the city’s commercial and pedestrian corridor. The 425-space parking garage is past its useful lifespan of 30 to 50 years. It was shut down in April after debris began to fall from the 53-year-old garage’s upper floors. City officials say downtown parking remains underutilized, even with the garage closed, and that the cost of repairing or replacing the structure would be prohibitive. They also argue that the garage’s downtown location presents a unique development opportunity.

Nearby: Ithaca, NYIn Collegetown, the phrase “garage sale” is taking on a whole new meaning. The City of Ithaca is moving to sell the aging Dryden Road parking garage to a private developer that plans to build a new parking garage and hotel on the site. The Common Council voted 10-1 on Oct. 28 to transfer ownership of the garage at 118 Dryden Road to the Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency (IURA), an public benefit corporation that exists to promote economic development in Ithaca, but is legally independent of the city. By transferring the property to the IURA, the city can avoid certain legal requirements that typically apply to municipal property sales. Normally, the city would have to sell the property through an auction or sealed bidding process. The IURA will negotiate a deal with the developers seeking to build a hotel in Collegetown on the city’s behalf. That deal will be subject to a vote of approval by the Common Council. The hotel proposal comes from Ithaca-based Robertson Development.
