A proposal to add 45 spaces to the 76-space parking lot on the southwest corner of Albert Avenue and Bailey Street was unanimously supported by the East Lansing Planning Commission during their meeting Wednesday night.
The planning commission’s recommendation will be considered by the East Lansing City Council at a meeting in the coming weeks.
The commission also supported a measure to reconfigure the lot so vehicles would enter on the west side of Bailey Street instead of the south side of Albert Avenue.
The proposal would give relief to cars looking for public parking after the city lost 34 public parking spaces near the Albert-Bailey intersection earlier this year for the Stonehouse Village III redevelopment.
The Stonehouse Village III redevelopment project involves the construction of a five-story, mixed-use building containing 122 parking spaces and 36 residential condominiums on Bailey Street between Grand River and Albert avenues.
