Glen Ellyn Approves New Parking Garage
The $16.1 million project got the go-ahead at Monday's village meeting.
GLEN ELLYN, IL — The Glen Ellyn village board approved plans Monday to build a four-story parking garage at the Civic Center property. In addition to the parking garage, plans call for adding a pedestrian "access way" to Main Street and creating a small public plaza.
The project, which comes to $16.1 million, will add the parking garage behind 535 Duane St. Developers will also demolish the building at 423 N. Main St. to make way for the proposed outdoor plaza.
The four-story parking garage will have an underground level, so it will offer a total of five tiers of parking. This comes out to 277 parking spots.

Construction on the Civic Center parking garage is expected to kick off in spring of 2020 and last through spring of 2021.
