It’s about time
Knoxville’s downtown has sucked for a long time. One reason was there was no free parking. That’s changing:
Starting Thursday, the 2,300 parking spaces in the Civic Coliseum garage will be free. Motorists can a free shuttle from the coliseum to most areas of downtown. 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.
Now, if they could make the parking convenient, they might be on to something.
