"The 'Fix The Plan – Vote No' Committee held a conference to discuss the AECOM study, which proposes charging for some parking if the expansion plan goes through.
Spokesperson Richard Wahlstrom says if the project is approved by voters next month it would dramatically increase the cost
,
and the consultants say in order to make up for the operating deficit
the center should begin charging for two thousand parking spaces on the
lots surrounding the building ranging from three to five dollars.Wahlstrom says, 'Before you vote to build a $180 million facility, you've got to know how it's going to be paid for, and you need to be aware that a $5 parking fee
to park where you used to park for free on the grounds here at the Civic Center is a part of that.'"Also, Fox News will have a program Sunday about the Civic Center.
