WASHINGTON, DC-The city council has approved a plan to build two three-story parking garages north of the Nationals Stadium. The vote is expected to end the tug-of-war over the development of the plot of land near South Capital Street and the Navy Yard.

As part of its deal with the Major League Baseball, the city is required to provide 1,225 parking places for the stadium by the time it opens in April 2008. If the parking is not provided by opening day, the MLB could fine the city.”The reality is this action will allow the project to stay on time, within the cost cap, while meeting the District’s obligation to minimize costs to the city and to its residents,” said Mayor-elect Adrian Fenty in a statement.
