The improvements included widening the road and adding parking along the street.

Mr. Colonese said the transportation department was always looking for ways to add parking.

It will double, to 46,000 square feet, the size of the current 39-year-old building, and add a children's room, meeting space and parking.

Traffic congestion could be resolved by adding little new parking and encouraging mass transit, he said.

Incentives would be offered for combining properties and adding parking, among other things.

A $14 million face lift, completed earlier this year, added more parking and renovated the terminal but did not improve access to public transportation.

The college added parking to accommodate additional students.

An expansion program began in 2006 to add additional parking, two new terminals, and roadway improvements.

In addition, the Tropicana is planning a $225 million expansion that will add 500 rooms, parking and 700 new slot machines.

Mr. Bates said he was also looking to add parking, which has been a constant complaint in the city.
