Cape Coral officials want to give visitors and residents more parking options in the city’s entertainment district. 

The city is considering spending more than $10 million on a parking garage at SE 47th Terrace between SE 8th Court and SE 9th Place. 

If everything goes according to plan, the empty lot will soon become the site of new mixed-use development with apartments, commercial spaces and parking. 

The Cape Coral Community Redevelopment Agency is set to talk about pitching in more than $10 million to construct the parking garage with 525 spaces, including 125 designated for public parking
