Since then, concerns with the <br />existing structure developed, including: 1) the insufficient number of parking spaces; 2) traffic <br />circulation within the structure and entry/exit onto both Estudillo Avenue and Callan Avenue; 3) <br />ADA accessibility; 4) security; and 5) the structure's ability to withstand a significant seismic <br />event. <br />In 2008, Walker Parking Consultants was retained to design a replacement parking structure to <br />address all of the deficiencies noted. Design includes a 2,000 square feet office space for the <br />Chamber of Commerce to be located in the South-West corner of the building and improvements <br />to Plaza Del Oro, the pedestrian area between the garage and East 14~' Street. <br /> <br />
