Pac Ave Streetscape Update: Parking

The work on phase 1 of the Pacific Avenue Streetscape project is in full swing, with sidewalks torn up, and plenty of heavy machinery.

It was mentioned that there will be more parking spaces coming soon, and free 2 hour parking at the Park Plaza North Garage with validation from participating businesses.
