History

On December 12, 2022, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced that work would begin that week on a project to increase the number of spots at the center 34 percent from 437 to 586 spaces. The new spaces will be added to the west side of the existing parking lot. As part of the project, new lighting, a new curb, and new drainage systems will be installed.
