Glen Ellyn To Consider 4-Story Parking Garage For Civic Center

GLEN ELLYN, IL — The Glen Ellyn planning commission will hold a public hearing on Dec. 12 to weigh the option of building a four-story parking garage at village's Civic Center. The proposal, helmed by developers M.A. Mortenson Company, would provide a net total of 212 parking spots.

In a recent newsletter, village officials said adding the parking garage would require demolition of the Civic Center's Shonkwiler building at 423 Main St., along with a "residential building" behind that. The proposal would create a public space to link Main Street with the parking garage.

The parking garage would be equipped with 277 stalls and another 10 stalls would be added just off Duane Street, replacing the current 75 parking spots available at the Civic Center.

The planning commission meeting to discuss the Glen Ellyn Civic Center parking garage is set for Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. in the Civic Center's Galligan Board Room. The proposal will next be considered by the village council on Jan. 13.
