Letter: Don’t overlook parking needs for Toyota Center, convention center project
Planning for the Toyota Center and convention center by Kennewick officials, staff, and consultants continues with short-sighted disregard for parking needs.
In recent years, instead of adding parking near the convention center, Kennewick subtracted parking space by allowing a new hotel with no roof parking and no basement parking.
We go to plays and symphonies and would welcome a good theater if a multi-level parking structure were nearby with a pedestrian causeway to the theater.
Without a good plan for new parking, I will encourage my Kennewick friends to vote no.
Marve Hyman, Kennewick
