Benbrook parking lot expansion given thumbs up
BUTLER TWP — The township planning commission approved Tuesday the creation of a 148-space parking lot at Benbrook Medical Center, 102 Technology Drive.
According to Bob Maher, project manager with Gateway Engineers, the center, owned by Butler Health System, has an addition project in the works that will cut down the amount of parking spaces available. The asphalt lot will be built on an “open-grass field” encompassing 3.23 acres and is proposed to have two access points, which Maher said is to expand capacity and cut down on congestion.
“It’s a pretty simple plan ... stormwater will be directed toward a retention pond located at the south end of the lot,” Maher said. “There are 11 light standers that will be installed in the proposed project along the perimeter of the lot.”
