Those working in downtown that have reserved/monthly parking should consider working flex work hours if possible to avoid traffic congestion. Those working in downtown that do not have reserved/monthly parking, will want to flex work hours and arrive by 6:30 a.m. to secure a normal parking spot. If arriving after 6:30 a.m., parking is suggested in the Northern part of downtown at a metered location. Buses are available down to ride down the Transit Mall. Those working downtown should avoid scheduling meetings on this day with clients from outside of area as there will likely be no hourly parking available in the downtown area, south of Kennedy Boulevard after 6:30 a.m. You may want to carpool, use mass transit or take a vacation day.
