New Parking Garage Proposed for Fort Worth Stockyards

0:00Parking could get a lot easier in the Fort Worth Stockyard soon. Dallas-based parking systems of America just filed a permit to turn a surface lot at the southeast corner of Ellis Avenue and northwest 25th. Street into a garage. That spot currently holds about 50 cars, but the new build would add 250 more spaces. The catch is the zoning there, only allows surface lots right now, so they need a special permit from the city to go vertical. It's in a special land district designed to keep the stockyards historic vibe intact. This upgrade can make a big difference for visitors hunting spots during busy events, without cramming in too much concrete. Folks have complained about parking headaches in that area for years, so more spaces might ease the crunch while respecting the old school feel. No word yet from the company on details like how many floors or the timeline. The high cap in the district is 55 feet, so it'll stay in check. The zoning commission could review it first on May 13th at 1 p.m., with City Council
