One city alderman is looking to prohibit public use of the paved lot that Mayor Carucci is eyeing for a park-and-ride.
Frank Steffen, D-Ward 7, will bring legislation to the Public Safety Committee meeting Tuesday that will prohibit any public use of the lot. Mr. Steffen, who chairs the committee, opposes the lot and said that he raised concerns about the lot to the mayor before it was paved.
The lot, on the corner of West Fall Road and Buffalo Street, is being transformed into a parking lot for carpoolers. The lot has been paved by workers from Man O’Trees, the firm that has been working on the now completed Two Mile Sewer project. Mayor David Carucci has said that the lot has cost $40,000 and is part of the restoration from the sewer project.
