Coralville approves purchase of lot at 409 5th Street to add parking near Old Town Hall
Summary
The council approved acquisition of the lot east of Old Town Hall at 409 5th Street for up to $300,000 to add at least 14 parking spaces, improve landscaping and create a trailhead connection for the Dvorsky Trail.
City Administrator Kelly Hayworth described a proposed purchase of the property east of Old Town Hall on 5th Street to increase parking and provide pedestrian and trail connections. Hayworth said the lot will provide a minimum of 14 parking spaces, include landscaping on the west side of the lot, and serve as a trailhead for the Dvorsky Trail with connections north to the Clear Creek Trail and south along the trail.
Hayworth said the acquisition addresses a shortage of street parking that has made it difficult to hold events at Old Town Hall and the nearby 1876 Schoolhouse. Councilmember Hai Huynh asked about crossing options; Hayworth said staff will evaluate crosswalk placement once the parcel is acquired and road improvements are complete.
The council approved Resolution No. 2026-82 authorizing the Purchase Agreement for 409 5th Street; the purchase was described as not to exceed $300,000.
