Anyone else think the Police Station/Court/Police Parking Lot would be better suited up by Market Basket and that space turned into a four story parking garage?

You could have entrances on Main and Rogers St. it’s in the middle of Downtown. It faces the Chamber of Commerce, looks down at the Harbormaster office and transient dockage, Maritime Gloucester. Total No-Brainer iMO.

  1. Joey, a parking garage was proposed many years ago for that parking lot. Plans were drawn up. As is the Gloucester tradition, opposition won out. I believe it is time once again to revisit the idea. The concerns were it would become a gathering place for homeless people, that was before the Grace Center and the Action Shelter existed, there concerns, were cost, and maintenance . Joe Ciolino

  2. That would be the best use for the police station. Many cities and town are building new police and fire stations on other sites. With all these new restaurants and entertainment venues opening up, parking is imperative to the success 0f the Downtown area. The old YMCA should have also been considered for a parking garage.
