MELBOURNE, Fla. — The Eau Gallie Arts District in Melbourne is growing with more shops and restaurants coming in at a steady pace, but parking remains an issue.

“At certain points, especially on a busy afternoon, all the parking spaces here will get filled up,” says Jeff Anderson, an architect with Mel-d Studio Architecture.

His office is on Guava Avenue between St. Claire and Creel Streets, and it’s getting more crowded every day.

Anderson and other business owners have been asking about increasing parking in the district.

The city of Melbourne now has a plan to potentially make Guava a one-way street and add 20 diagonal parking spaces.

The increased parking would work well during busy weekend events like the recent Brewfest.

“They park this entire field from the church, all these spaces were taken up an hour before the festival, so it fills up,” Anderson says.

Also in the works is an art deco hotel replacing the former Foosner Art Museum, along with a 535 space parking garage, with 300 spaces available to the public.

The city council is meeting Tuesday night to discuss the plan to move forward with changes to the roadway.
