The parking garage planned for the Ted's for Tires lot at the corner of Granite Street and Merchants Row is on track and will not suffer because the city missed $1.1 million in federal transit money earlier this year, mayoral aide Andrew Herlihy said. Federal and state funding for the design phase of the $10 million project is already in hand and that part of the work is nearly complete, he said. Mayor James Fiorentini will unveil the latest designs to the City Council as early as next week, Herlihy told The Haverhill Gazette. At the end of January, Joseph Constanzo, executive director of the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority, reported that the city missed a deadline to receive $1.1 million from a federal earmark for transportation projects. Herlihy said the city did nothing wrong. Rather, Congress, while debating health-care reform legislation, missed a vote to reauthorize the money. Herlihy said the city would be able to reapply. The $7.8 million in federal funding for the project is split over several years, Herlihy explained, and comes to the city as phases of the project are reach the operative stage. Ground is expected to be broken in late spring or early summer, as scheduled, on the 300-plus space parking garage near the downtown train station Herlihy said.
