A proposition in November’s $160.3 million city bond election has been receiving attention. During the Sept. 15 City Council meeting a McKinney resident encouraged residents to vote ‘No’ on Proposition 5, which would allow the city to issue bonds to construct a $13 million, four-story, 400-plus parking space parking garage downtown. The resident said the parking garage location—near Church Street between Louisiana and Virginia streets—is a poor choice and urged residents to vote against Proposition 5. However, Council Member Don Day voiced concern over the comments and misinformation that has been reported regarding the parking garage. “What people need to understand is that a vote ‘No’ for the parking garage means there will be no parking garage,” he said. “Bond elections only happen every four or five years, so it wouldn’t come up again for another four to five years and there is no way to know whether it would be back on the ballot. So if we get a ‘No’ vote on the parking garage, there will be no parking garage for the foreseeable future.” Day said residents needed to understand that Proposition 5 does not include a vote on the location but only addresses whether the city will get the funding needed to build a parking garage in downtown.
