Light Rail Street Construction
Light Rail street construction in Lowertown is almost complete!
As the construction for the Light Rail continues, we remain open with access to FREE PARKING in the lot DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM OUR ENTRANCE. Look for the spots marked for us. You may drive across the tracks to access the lot, and across the tracks to access the traffic lanes. 4th Street is open with a traffic lane in both directions. There is no longer any on street parking on 4th Street, but there are meters on Wall and Wacouta Streets. Wacouta is open from the south and the north so you can turn east to drive on 4th Street, or from 4th Street you can turn left or right onto Wacouta. You can also check our facebook page for up to date info.
