Dirt work started on a new offsite parking service near Kansas City International Airport. Park ‘No Go will build a 2,625 space lot between the area of Interstate 29 and Interstate 435, off N. Ambassador Drive.

There will be a new place to park offsite near the Kansas City International Airport.

Park ‘N Go, based in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., will construct a vehicle parking facility located at N. Ambassador Avenue and NW Cookingham Drive — between Interstate 29/Interstate 435.

The project will be the ninth for the company, which has other locations in Baltimore, Charlotte, Ft. Lauderdale, Minneapolis, Omaha (two), Richmond, Va. and Orlando.

There will one structure — a maximum of 1,000 sq. foot — located near the front entry. That building will serve as the office, while having a vending area and restrooms.

There will be a 36 foot wide driveway with six gated lanes. The two outer lanes will be for the company’s buses which will transport customers to and from KCI. There will be 2,625 spaces, which will be fenced with a six foot black steel fence.

A monument sign will be located near the N. Ambassador Drive entry. The property will be on a 40 acre site.

The company has a frequent parker program that gives customer one ‘point’ per day and every 10 days or 10 points, customers get a free day of parking.

The company was started in 1977 and provides complimentary jump starts/tire assistance as well as free bottled water and newspapers at select locations while supplies last.
