Committee asks Council to consider employee-parking options including Wild Wing property and remote shuttles
Summary
Staff proposed dedicating 120–160 parking spaces on the former Wild Wing Cafe property for employees and offered shuttle/remote-lot options; the committee asked staff to include employee-parking alternatives (including remote lots and shuttle service) in the resolution to Council.
The committee debated several employee-parking options after staff estimated about 146 nearby businesses and roughly 584 employees within walking distance of Coligny parking (using an average of four employees per business). Staff recommended reserving about 120–160 spaces at the former Wild Wing Cafe property as a first‑come, first‑served resource and said monthly or discounted employee passes and remote park‑and‑ride with shuttle service were alternatives.
Staff told the committee Palmetto Breeze quoted approximately $60/hour for shuttle service (plus travel time) and cautioned that extending late-night shuttle hours could be difficult because driver availability declines late in the evening. Committee members were split: some supported using Wild Wing as dedicated employee parking; others preferred remote lots plus shuttle service or discounted monthly passes and asked staff to return specific cost and operational proposals for Council consideration.
