Agenda Item 
V. L.   Additional Parking at Cook Park 
 
Overview 
Additional parking at Cook Park has been discussed for some time. This issue was last discussed 
during the April 12, 2026 work session. During that meeting, staff was requested to obtain cost 
estimates to add additional parking along Cook Drive, East Harper Johnson Drive, and on the 
property adjacent to the railroad.  
 
The Public Works Department has prepared graphics and cost estimates to include design, survey, 
construction, and contingency for each of the three areas (attached).  
 
• Extend the existing parking on Cook Drive to add 14 new spaces: $360,000 
• Create new parking on East Harper Johnson Drive to add 26 new spaces: $280,000  
• Create new parking on Cook Drive adjacent to the railroad to add 30 new spaces: $280,000 
 
A memo from the Public Works Department is also attached for further information.  
 
Action to Consider 
Consensus is needed to move this item to the May 19, 2026 regular session for consideration.
