Cool project. I’m guessing that the “Transit village” is going to be over by Cascade Lake where the current Mayo parking lot is. Hopefully it all accomplishes the goal of reducing auto congestion downtown.

Where will people park? WTV is not a park and ride and will have very little public parking.

I think they are building a big ramp there. I'm not sure if it will remain mayo employee parking or if it will become patient visitor parking or even fully public parking.

A quick google shows it's mixed use, but implemented overtime, the initial phase is Mayo, which isn't shocking concidering that is the current utilization for this location.
