A city committee studying parking in downtown Hood River has been meeting for almost six months, and will continue to do so for another three months.  City Councilor Kate McBride is a part of the panel that includes City officials along with building and business owners.  McBride notes the City has done most of the recommendations from a previous parking study except for building an actual structure, and this committee is going through the options that are left, looking 20 years into the future.  There is $4 million in downtown urban renewal district funding that could potentially be used for a parking structure if the City determined that was the direction it wanted to take.
