I am a North Side resident who can not park in front of my home during events at the stadiums. Would the North Shore Connector help address our parking problems?
Yes. Unfortunately, many North Side residents must bear the inconvenience of very large numbers of people parking on neighborhood streets during sporting events and concerts. Also, during the periods before and after games and events, severe traffic congestion and delays occur. After an event at Heinz Field, it takes about one hour before traffic levels are back to normal. Enhanced transit access will help to lessen some of these impacts as well as reduce air pollution and energy consumption. In addition, by linking to park and ride facilities along the T, the North Shore Connector will essentially augment North Shore and North Side parking during events.
