Visitor & Driver Tips
During morning (7:30 AM – 9:00 AM) and evening (4:30 PM – 6:00 PM) commuter rush hours, South Main Street experiences heavier volume around the I-84 interchange; allow an extra few minutes when turning left onto South Main. Ensure you park within designated white lines to keep drive aisles clear for emergency vehicles and fellow motorists. If visiting during winter months, maintenance crews plow promptly, but exercise caution during sudden freeze events.
