COMMUNITY INPUT

What name best fits the public parking garage at 215 South Market?

The City of Wichita recently acquired the garage at the southwest corner of William and Market and has committed to rehabilitate the structure and reopen it for public use. The improvements will include concrete repairs, new lighting, elevators, signage, and a new color scheme as a result of the sealant coatings that will be applied to the concrete surfaces. These improvements are currently underway and are scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2015. In conjunction with the proposed improvements, the possibility of renaming the garage is being considered. This Activate Wichita topic seeks your feedback on this renaming opportunity.
