HELENA — The City of Helena in May approved a resolution to use Railroad Urban Renewal District funds to pay for parking, sidewalk, and crosswalk improvements in a portion of the Sixth Ward near the community garden.
One improvement could be to add angled parking spaces. The city commission has to approve angled parking spots.
The possible expansion would include 57 new spots along both sides of Helena Avenue between East Lyndale Avenue and North Roberts Street, the north side of Gallatin Avenue between North Cooke Street and Helena Avenue, and the east side of North Cooke Street between Gallatin Avenue and Helena Avenue.
These extra parking spaces would help create more available parking thus promoting more business in the Sixth Ward area.
The city plans to further discuss this issue on July 10.
