Parking information Parking is available in the Main Street municipal lots all day but they will fill up around 10:30am and after noon it will be congested. Parking is available at the beach lots only two blocks away for $6, but they will get busy around 1:30pm. FREE SHUTTLE The Big Blue Bus will be running a FREE SHUTTLE every 15 minutes from the Civic Center Parking Garage (that's the new garage) to Main Street for the Summer SOULstice event. The Garage is on 4th street between Pico and Colorado, just south of the exit off the 10 West. (How convenient is that?!!) Parking at the Civic Center garage and taking the FREE SHUTTLE is the best way to park and avoid the traffic crunch, especially if you're coming at 1pm. The shuttle will run from 11am til 7:30pm (but the Tide shuttle and the #2 bus run later: see below. If you park in the garage and miss the shuttle and don't want to wait 15 minutes, there's a #2 bus stop only yards away and that also runs to Main Street. This Shuttle will run until 7:30pm, but the Tide, which also connects Main Street to the Civic Center Garage area, runs til 8pm, and the #2 bus runs til 10:30pm, so you don't have to leave Main Street at 7pm. UPDATE, JUNE 18, 2008 The first shuttle will leave from the Parking structure at 11am sharp. The shuttle will make four round trips every hour. This is free: no fare will be collected. During this period, Line 2 will operate every 19 minutes in each direction for the standard fare. The last shuttle trip from the event back to the Civic Center Dr. will leave Ocean Park Blvd. eastbound at Main Street (Line 8 bus stip) at 7:18pm. The last TIDE will leave Main Street northbound at Ocean Park Blvd. in front of the library at 8:10pm. Thelast Line 2 will leave Hill Street eastboundheading back to Civic Center Dr. at 10:38pm Big Blue Bus links: route 1 route 2 route 8 Tide Map Additional Big Blue Bus links: Santa Monica Blvd route from UCLA-Westwood thru Santa Monica to Venice and back This is the #2 bus that stops near the Civic Center parking garage and will run til 10:30pm. Wilshire Blvd., down 4th (past the Civic Center Parking Garage, to Main Street, then Venice and back The Tide Shuttle also runs on Sundays, til 8pm mapquest map 10 West exit and Civic Center garage to Main and Hill-- this is not the exact Shuttle route, but you get the idea ### |
