Court warns of juror parking problems during downtown demolition; seeks city cooperation
Summary
County staff warned demolition for Phase 2 of a downtown project will block roughly 160 parking spaces and coincide with a large jury summons (about 250 jurors expected to be called), prompting commissioners to ask staff to coordinate with the city for temporary parking and possible shuttle service.
County staff and court advisors warned the demolition and construction for a downtown phase‑2 project will remove an estimated 160 parking spaces near the courthouse and will begin within weeks, overlapping with scheduled jury summons that could call about 250 people.
"We have sent out jury summons for 250 jurors. They anticipate at least 200 showing up," said Adrian, a county staff member handling court operations, urging the court and city to coordinate on temporary parking or a shuttle arrangement so jury trials and public access are not disrupted. Commissioners agreed to continue discussions with city staff, explore use of alternate lots and possible shuttle options, and asked county staff to pursue a cooperative enforcement or temporary parking suspension with the city while demolition is ongoing.
