To get to Cruz Bay from the lot, most people would either walk north, past the fire station, then take a left and walk into town; probably a 10-minute trek.
Of course, parking has been a critical problem for Cruz Bay for years. One recent idea was to building a parking garage where the tennis courts are, which is also close to the Moorehead Marine Facility aka the Enighed car barge dock.
There’s little question whether people would prefer free or paid, but the Authority says it will make that decision when it awards the construction contract.
The Inquiring Iguana is urging the PA to make the lot free. That will insure it gets used, which is the point after all, to decrease the stress of going downtown. Furthermore, the PA’s record on overseeing the finances of the barge company revenues is pretty poor. It doesn’t make sense to put another cash business under the agency.
