Those city/convention parking garages west of San Jacinto were up before I moved to Austin in '93. Me think; the plan long ago...before the 1990's...was to use the 3 blocks in discussion for the convention center. Why else build the parking garages away from the convention center? Any long time Austinite have any info on why those garages were built west of San Jac [ok San Jacinto]?
AND why have no developers built on those three blocks across the street from the convention center? Me think again; others know something the public does not! Any thoughts?
