The Bellevue City County reviewed plans Monday for the construction of a 3-level parking garage for the downtown Bellevue Regional Library.
The King County Library System plans to build the new garage to replace an 80-stall surface parking lot. When combined with parking currently available under the library, the garage will add 163 stalls, bringing the total from 199 to 362, according to a press statement.
This week, library and city staff discussed ways to minimize impacts on library patrons, neighbors, and users of the nearby Ashwood Park. Construction is expected to run from September 2011 through September 2012.
The library, located at 1111 110th Ave. NE, averages about 68,000 visitors per month.
