Rapid City's Civic Center is in need of upgrades to conform to the ADA. The city's solution to spend $180 million to add onto the center rather than just fix the deficiencies was shot down in the March 10 public vote. Now a simpler less extravagant plan is called for.

vehicle access problems at Civic Center
To the north of the Civic Center is a hill that prevents any road access from North Street. To the south is the city park that has no vehicle traffic going through it. So vehicle access is only from the west and east.
I have been through 5th Street on the east side and Mt. Rushmore Road on the west when large events are happening at the Civic Center. It is a mess. Not only vehicle traffic clogging, but people trying to cross the road from other parking areas to get to the Civic Center. I don't think this traffic problem has been addressed in the new civic center plan? If it's bad now, how much worse will it be with bigger events, or two events happening at the same time?
Please let me know if the traffic problem is addressed in the new design. I haven't seen any mention of it.
