Commuter Parking Deck Construction to Start in March

The City Council is set to OK an agreement with the First Baptist Church for temporary commuter parking and a "park-and-ride" program similar to what was done when the lot was under construction.

Get ready for a little controlled chaos come March, when the city and Metra begin work on a third deck for the commuter parking garage.

The Geneva City Council will vote Tuesday on a lease agreement with the First Baptist Church, 2300 South St., which will add 91 spaces for park-and-ride purposes. The city is offering $1,700 a month to lease the space.

Construction of the third level of the parking garage is expected to start in March and conclude in September.
