City to offer shuttle from Harry Grove Stadium to ease parking loss
A parking lot at East Patrick Street will lose spaces for a new third public parking deck. The city will run a free shuttle from Harry Grove Stadium to downtown with a $1 fare each way for shuttle riders, and a modified regular bus route when the shuttle is not running. The service costs about $390 weekly, with $100 covered by city funds. The four round trips per hour target peak downtown usage, and the project aims to open the 520-space garage after nine months, possibly by mid 1992.
