La Grange officials are poised to spend an unbudgeted $915,000 to purchase a parking lot in the 700 block of West Burlington Avenue from FNBC Bank & Trust. The village plans to use the property to increase parking in the West End, particularly for employees, and implement recommendations from a 2022 parking study starting in June.
Why it matters
Parking has been an ongoing issue in La Grange's West End, and this purchase aims to address the problem by expanding available parking, especially for local businesses and their employees.
The details
The village would allow the current parking accommodations through the end of May, then implement new parking regulations starting in June based on a 2022 parking study. FNBC Bank had previously acquired property next to its building in the 600 block of West Burlington to expand its main parking lot, and no longer needed the lot in the 700 block that was used by customers, employees, and some residents.
- The Village Board is set to vote on the property purchase at its Monday meeting.
- The village plans to allow current parking accommodations through the end of May.
