The city of Grand Rapids wants to create two temporary public parking lots across from the Downtown Market to help mitigate parking constraints downtown in the coming years. The city is planning to pave over a gravel parking lot owned by Spectrum Industries to create two surface parking lots on the majority of a city block at 36 McConnell St. SW. The area is used as a Spectrum Industries parking lot now, with parking allowed by permit only. There would be 293 parking spots in those lots, according to an application the city filed with the Planning Commission seeking a special land use permit. The Planning Commission will consider the request Feb. 23. Downtown public parking will undergo a shakeup as two city-owned parking lots between Oakes and Cherry streets south of the Van Andel Arena will be developed into a movie theater and apartments.
