The Port of Hood River should have some additional angled parking available in front of the Waterfront Event Site by the Fourth of July. Port Executive Director Michael McElwee says they are trying to make up for parking lost to various construction projects, particularly parking that had been available at Slackwater Beach. The Port is dealing with parking questions with new construction and continued recreational use. McElwee says the Port is beginning to look into the potential of a permit system or metering in conjunction with the City.
