Impacts to the respective parking garage facilities will be minimal and the garages are expected to operate during construction.

The hydraulic elevators in the parking structures 601 Front Street (Soquel/Front Garage) and 1050 Cedar Street (Locust Garage) are currently non-functional and require modernizations. The Soquel/Front Garage elevator was installed in 2000, and the Locust Garage was originally manufactured and installed in 1992. Both elevators are in very poor condition due to water intrusion and corrosion from age.
