The City of Leavenworth’s Parking Advisory Committee is dedicated to reviewing and recommending policies that enhance parking management and accessibility throughout the community. Composed of local stakeholders, the committee evaluates current parking systems, considers public feedback, and advises on improvements to ensure efficient use of parking resources for residents, businesses, and visitors.

The committee plays a key role in shaping parking policies, including enforcement methods, payment systems, and future infrastructure needs. Meetings are held regularly and provide opportunities for public input.

Current Projects:

Downtown Parking Garage Feasibility and Design
In April of 2025, the City solicited qualifications from qualified consulting firms to provide professional services to complete feasibility, design, bidding, and construction services for a new parking structure in downtown Leavenworth. The goal of this project is to add a minimum of 200 covered parking stalls within a short walking distance to Front Street Park in a structure that is consistent with Leavenworth’s Old World Bavarian Alpine theme.

On Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 5:30 PM, during the Study Session the City Council received a project update from ARC Architects regarding the Downtown Parking Garage Feasibility & Design project.

This update focuses on Phase 1, which identifies viable sites for a new parking structure. The City’s goal is to provide a minimum of 200 additional parking stalls within approximately 1,000 feet of Front Street Park to support downtown accessibility.

Key Update Details:
