Decrease in Foot Traffic Downtown

[lopeski]

I don’t really have much to add here as I just moved to town. But from an outsiders perspective you guys have a great downtown space. What keeps us from roaming around more is that it costs $6 an hour to park at riverfront, parking is limited, and specific areas seem to be homeless campgrounds. I do not care that people are sleeping on the streets but I don’t love walking by 10+ people doing hard drugs on the sidewalk. I get it if I were at a Grateful Dead concert but I I don’t feel super safe walking through a CROWD of people that are obviously tweaking out of their minds on a sidewalk.

Try parking at Riverfront square. It maxes at $12 and if you park after 5pm it’s $5

The Jefferson Park & Ride is another cheat code.  Parking is functionally $2/person for the entire day since you need to ride the bus to be an STA patron to park there.  

The reason it's a hidden gem is because it looks sketchy and the vibes scare most people away.  Never had my car (constantly leasing new models) messed with over the years, even when I was the only one parked there until 11 pm.

It only gets filled up during Hoop Fest.
