weekend. On July 3, construction deliveries can continue so long as trucks are not staged or
stacked on Vail's roads. From July 4 - July 6, all deliveries are restricted. For more information,

SUMMER PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN UNDERWAY
Thanks to everyone who met with the Town of Vail over the past week to help address ongoing
parking concerns. The town is asking for continued assistance in implementing alternative
parking and transportation options to help free up additional close-in parking spaces for
shoppers and diners, especially in the Village structure. Those options include filling Vail's
available outlying parking spaces at the former Wendy's lot in West Vail which contains 75
spaces, plus 100 spaces at the town-owned Timber Ridge property on the North Frontage
Road, as well as additional spaces that have been located on or near construction sites. Use of
van pools, car pools and public transit is also highly encouraged. For its part, the town is
working with employers to help coordinate bus service adjustments to accommodate the
changes. Also, management and monitoring of the parking structures by the town's newly
expanded summer parking staff is underway. In particular, attempts are being made to limit the
number of vehicles entering the Vail Village parking structure from 6 to 7:50 a.m. with access
limitations continuing throughout the morning. For more information, visit www.vailqov.com.
