INCREASED SUMMER PARKING MANGEMENT UNDERWAY
The Town of Vail is implementing summer parking management strategies intended to ensure
adequate parking for guests while providing equitable parking opportunities for Vail residents,
merchants and employees. The town is setting aside approximately 300 spaces in the Vail
Village structure, including all spaces located on the top deck, until 10 a.m. each morning to
allow visitors and later-arriving employees access to parking. Staff has also begun increased
enforcement of parking violations in both structures. Patrols will be issuing warnings and tickets
to vehicles parked over the white line and taking up multiple spaces, as well as oversized
vehicles. Vail contractors, employees and merchants are asked to park on the north side of the
Vail Village and LionsHead parking structures to allow visitors access to close-in spaces on the
south side. For more information, contact Parking and Transit Manager Mike Rose at 479-2349.
NIGHTTIME I-70 VAIL OVERLAY PROJECT
The I-70 nighttime overlay project continues with work occurring from 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.
Sunday through Thursday nights. This week, crews will be completing work on the median
barrier between Dowd Junction and West Vail, asphalt leveling will be underway in the east
bound lanes and work will begin on the shoulder barrier near the East Vail exit. Also, CDOT has
announced no work will occur over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, July 3-6. Project
