Neither parking, nor traffic will impacted. Our parkin engineer also conducted a survey, and a majority of customers use alternate means of transportation. The Stag will mostly be using the additional capacity when the beach and many small sgops are closed. Parking is not a concern at these times. Our parking survey and city staff agree that this is a shared multi use parking area. Most people that drive to McFadden Square will park and visit the beach and/or multiple uses during the same visit.
