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.

In February 2026, the City Council received a presentation from ARC Architects regarding the Downtown Parking Garage Feasibility & Design – Phase 1 project. The City entered into a contract with ARC in August 2025 to provide architectural and engineering services for this effort.

The Council previously approved funding for Phase 1, which includes a feasibility study focused on site selection for the development of a parking structure that would provide a minimum of 200 covered parking stalls within approximately 1,000 feet of Front Street Park. The structure is intended to be consistent with Leavenworth’s Old World Bavarian Alpine architectural theme.

Phase 2 (Design) is anticipated to be addressed through a future amendment to the current scope of work.
