Civic Center Parking Garage Stairwell Closure - Update
The southeast stairwell at the Civic Center Parking Garage (Laporte & Mason) is closed for a full replacement due to structural issues. Construction began in July 2025, but previously unknown structural challenges were discovered, extending the project timeline. Completion is now expected in March 2026.
We understand the inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your patience as we ensure the new stairwell meets safety and accessibility standards. In the meantime, we recommend using the elevator next to the closed stairwell or the nearby stairwell at the southwest corner of the garage.
