Commissioners flag parking concerns for National Pet Day; staff says shuttle not planned for first event
Summary
A commissioner asked whether the city would run a shuttle for the rescheduled National Pet Day because of parking worries; staff said a shuttle is not scheduled for this first event but that shuttles may be considered for future events depending on turnout and cost.
During public questions, a commissioner raised parking concerns for the upcoming National Pet Day at the park and asked whether the city could run a shuttle service to ease neighborhood parking pressure.
A staff member responded that a shuttle was not scheduled for this particular event. "We're not scheduling it for this particular event," staff said, but added the city would consider shuttle service for future concerts and park events depending on turnout and budget constraints. Staff noted shuttle costs and fuel prices as factors for planning and said they wanted to see how parking performed at the first event before making that commitment.
Commissioners and staff discussed neighborhood parking and suggested carpooling and walking as short-term mitigations for the first event; staff said they would plan ahead for future events if data showed parking saturation.
