Skip may tell Y where to park it
Commissioners and other county officials are setting their parking deck sights on what, to many people, appears to be the perfect, "no-brainer" place to put a parking deck for the jail.However, as with most things in life, there's a catch: The lot in question, bordered by South Spring, South Edgeworth and West Washington streets, is used by the Kathleen Price Bryan Family YMCA at 501 W. Market St., and representatives of that YMCA who have a lot of influential backing are adamantly opposed to a large parking deck being built on any portion of the county-owned lot. That's the main reason the commissioners have, for the past year, been looking at possible locations for a parking deck to serve the jail.
The Bryan YMCA doesn't own any parking spaces; instead it relies almost exclusively on the large lot now owned by the county for free parking in downtown Greensboro something that would be an almost unfathomable perk for most downtown operations. The county purchased the lot from the school system on Oct. 25, and representatives of the YMCA say the construction of a parking deck on that lot could stifle use of that YMCA for a year or so while the parking deck is under construction. They also say that member use of the downtown YMCA is critical to the well-being of other YMCA branches.
For years, the downtown Bryan Family YMCA has attempted to buy the large lot, and now some sources say advocates of the YMCA have been petitioning heavily behind the scenes to get the county to sell that property to them for $2 million the same price just paid the school system for the lot to finally own some parking for the YMCA instead of relying on the kindness of strangers or rather, the kindness of friends.
A letter from YMCA representatives dated Thursday, Dec. 15, was mailed to each county commissioner.
