Parking plan for bicentennial draws free shuttle to Mall
National Capital Park Service will provide free parking at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium with shuttle buses to the National Mall while 600 Mall parking spaces are eliminated. The plan accompanies a $3.5 million effort to make the Mall pedestrian only by 1976, amid expected 25 million visitors. Officials defend the move, noting parking will remain inadequate for the anticipated crowds. Tourmobiles will offer free shuttles to ticket buyers.
