Wichita plans to build a six-level, 543-space parking garage and bus station near its new ballpark, according to city documents. It’s projected to cost as much as $17.5 million.
The new development is envisioned as a “Delano Multimodal Center and Park-N-Ride” that would cut down expected traffic congestion in Delano and downtown. It would provide people “a place to park their vehicles and go to work, enjoy the downtown, Delano District or patronize an entertainment venue by using the Q-Line, Transit buses, scooters, bicycles or walking,” a city staff report included with the plan says.
Detailed plans for the garage and bus station have not been publicly discussed or approved as part of the Ballpark Village Master Plan, which is supposed to guide decisions about infrastructure and development near the ballpark. The existence of a plan to add the garage and bus station was first reported last week.
