Agenda Item 
XI. B.  Additional Parking at Cook Park 
 
Overview 
During th e May  11, 2026  work session council reviewed the  cost estimates to add additional 
parking prepared by Public Works Department staff.  
 
• 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 
 
Two additional options are now being presented for Council consideration.  
 
• The base option would add 14 new parking spaces, including two new ADA -accessible 
spaces, resulting in a total of 25 parking spaces within the park at an estimated cost of 
$245,000.  
• The expanded option would add 13 additional spaces for a total of 38 parking spaces at an 
estimated cost of $335,000. 
 
Construction of either option would require limited sidewalk demolition and would reduce 
available green space by approximately 7,000 to 10,000 square feet. The assessment does not 
include relocation of the park monument, which staff recommends addressing in conjunction with 
any future redevelopment or expansion of park amenities. 
 
No funding has been appropriated for this project at this time. 
 
Action to Consider 
Motion, second, and vote are needed to p rovide direction regarding the preferred parking 
configuration for Cook Park and whether staff should proceed with project development and future 
budget planning.
