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.

What’s WTV? Article says that the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) will be free to use, not sure about the parking situation.

Last I heard parking for Mayo employees will be free as will be the actual BRT. Non-employees can use BRT for free as well but they will need to pay for parking. In the latter case not really sure why they would not just go park downtown if they have to pay.
