Rock Island opens new downtown parking lot
By Rachel Davis
The new lot, located at the corner of 16th Street and Third Avenue opened for public use on Monday, July 3 at 3 p.m., in time for the Red, White & Boom festival and fireworks show at Schwiebert Park. The lot replaced the former parking ramp, which had become a safety issue. The new lot has 230 parking spaces and four electric vehicle charging stations.
Demolition work on the old parking ramp began back on December 8, 2022.
