The wait should be no longer than 10 minutes. It's part of the city's "Unparalleled Parking" program, lasting through the end of September.
"People who say there's no parking downtown, the fact is, there is parking downtown," Mayor Victor Ashe says. "It's within a couple blocks of here and there's a trolley to transport one to one's place of business."
Beginning October 1st, parking at the Civic Coliseum garage will cost $15 a month. It will be open weekdays from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
