Link to May 18 Wisconsin Dells Events article, "Library board nixes lot, favors street parking".
Excerpt: The Kilbourn Public Library Board approved a new plan Thursday that provides additional angled and parallel parking spots on Cedar Street and Minnesota Avenue and essentially rejects construction of a 21-car parking lot that would have interrupted green space east of the library.
The board had been divided on whether to build a parking lot in the middle of the block. The library board met to revise its parking plan after the Wisconsin Dells Plan Commission asked it to create a plan all members could support.
The new plan entails reconfigurating the parking spaces on Elm Street to add another handicap parking space and short-term parking. Staff parking will be in nine parallel parking spaces on Minnesota Avenue, and visitors can park in about 33 slots to be created on Cedar Street.
A sidewalk connecting the parking on Cedar Street to the library's east entrance will be constructed. The parking on Cedar Street is to be marked with signs proclaiming it for library use only.
A minimum of 50 parking spaces is mandated by city zoning code for the estimated $2.5 million building addition that will approximately double the size of the current library.
