NEW SHADE STRUCTURES INSTALLED AT DOWNTOWN BRENHAM PARKING LOT
Anyone visiting downtown Brenham may notice a new addition to one of the city parking lots.
C, 200 North Park Street, in downtown Brenham.
City Lot C, located at 200 North Park Street between North Park and North Baylor Streets, now has a shade structure providing cover for the inside parking spaces.
According to Brenham Main Street Manager Leigh Linden, Main Street’s Economic Vitality Committee set out to improve downtown parking by installing the shade structure at Lot C in order to encourage employees, shoppers and visitors to use the underutilized space.
Linden says the shade structure provides a more comfortable parking option and should help free up street parking space for customers at downtown businesses.
The initiative was funded through a $49,700 partnership between the Brenham Main Street Board and the Brenham Community Development Corporation (BCDC). BCDC projects are paid for with local sales tax proceeds.
Linden says there are currently no plans to extend this project to other lots. However, she says if this “accomplishes all that we set out to do”, they may look at expanding in the future.
