Old City Garage

The old City Garage located near 77th Street and Pillsbury Avenue was partially eliminated when 77th Street was expanded in the 1990s.  This caused a shortage of garage space for City maintenance vehicles.  In addition, the former garage was not big enough to handle today's larger equipment.
