Council considers shuttle pilot and event strategies for spotlight events
Summary
Council discussed targeting spotlight events (classic car night, concerts) with pilots such as temporary shuttles, partnerships and reserve lots to reduce event congestion without overbuilding year-round parking.
Several councilmembers urged staff to analyze parking for spotlight events and pilot a shuttle service. One member noted that classic car night fills downtown and people are willing to park farther away for events. Staff said they had previously explored shuttle options and high-level costs and can revive a pilot for council consideration.
Council discussed public–private partnerships for event circulation, temporary re-striping to increase capacity, and using outlying lots with shuttle drops. Members emphasized testing pilots during peak summer events before committing to regular services or capital projects.
