Cathedral of the Rockies parking shortage

Boise

Summary

A growing downtown church says lack of parking is a real barrier for elderly members, disabled visitors, and families — and it wants to pave a corner lot for 35 spaces. The council said the code doesn't allow a new off-site parking lot in the North End overlay, but it preserved the church's existing grass-lot parking and promised to keep working on a longer-term partnership.
