Visitor & Driver Tips

Because this is an open outdoor lot, drivers should observe posted parking signs regarding municipal snow routes, street cleaning, or overnight parking restrictions during winter storms. During regional major events such as the John Deere Classic or high-profile shows at The Rust Belt, plan ahead and arrive early as regional traffic in the East Moline and Silvis area increases significantly. Always lock your vehicle, roll up windows, and keep valuables stowed out of plain view.
