The city and/or Marshall need to work on some mixed use parking garages. Something like where Jim's is where you have a garage behind a facade of businesses or a garage with businesses in the bottom. This would add more parking and fill in some of the holes, especially downtown. Something like this would be great beside the Keith Albee. It would give some nice event parking, add more businesses and make downtown feel larger.
I think that is somewhat the idea for that property. Short term, it will only be parking. The long-term plan is to build a new building with some parking. If the developer could work with the library to expand the store fronts to the library, you would then have enough space for a nice parking garage along the alley. This would add more parking for the library, for businesses and for monthly rentals. Better use of space for sure.
This is great news. With all this new construction, the campus will have changed and certainly have a different feel to it. Can't wait to see it when I get back. I'd like to see what's next on the agenda as well.
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Preliminary ideas for Marshall University's 10-year master plan include demolishing and renovating buildings to provide more high-tech classrooms and research space, expanding housing and athletic facilities and making improvements to parking and pedestrian safety.
Representatives from SmithGroup JJR, a Michigan-based architectural firm, presented Huntington community members and Marshall students and faculty a first glimpse at some of the recommendations that could be made in September, when the draft of the master plan will be finalized.
Looks like there will be more specifics later this year.

This article hints at a lot of exciting stuff. They have mention of a baseball stadium and research facilities. They mention a "modification" of 3rd and 5th. I think they might be hinting at more overpass walkways.
