There are signs of movement on downtown Royal Oak's Center Street Parking Garage plan on the City Commission.
The City Commission and Downtown Development Authority will hold a joint, closed-door meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday night in City Hall on the proposal. The DDA is pushing the city to conduct a development study on the garage, located at the corner of South Center and West Second streets near Gusoline Alley, and the surface parking lot next to it.
The study would determine how much useful life the 30-year-old garage has left in it and what it could be developed into in the future. After the study is finished the DDA is proposing a request for proposals to develop it be issued by the city. The DDA would like to see a new mixed-use development for in the space with things like a new parking garage, retail space and condos.
