Parking on Hood River’s waterfront this summer is proving to be both popular and scarce. Port of Hood River Executive Director Kevin Greenwood says they are seeing plenty of traffic as the summer is getting underway, so the Port is working with the City to create two new parking lots at the waterfront, including one by the Maritime Building, and another on Lot 5 behind the Ryan’s Juice facility. Greenwood says recreation users take up most of the parking in the waterfront area. This is also the second year of metered street parking in the Waterfront area.
