Block D for The West Quarter (Block 67), already has 1,000 parking spaces included and paid for from the County. Now, I do agree including the block in the project area will provide the additional funding needed for the overall reconstruction but I don't think the County wants just parking included on the block.
I say this as I had heard that at one point there was talk of including meeting space in Block D and connecting this to the main Convention Center with an enclosed bridge over 2nd West.
The next 4 to 5 years will be really busy around these 5 blocks with all of the work that is planned to happen.
