The contentious Irving Street Garage—most recently the subject of controversial closed-door neighborhood mediation with the developer—appears to have officially died at City Council today.

From Frank Bird, president of the Northwest District Association:

Application for the development of a parking garage was terminated today by the applicant. The NWDA and the developer will continue to meet in an open, public negotiation, the exact form of which is yet to be determined. Other transportation related matters will also be a part of this larger conversation. See today’s 2PM council hearing online at www.portlandonline.com Go to council archives, then to council videos.
