ArtsQuest says the Gold Line will serve as the free North-South connector, with stops at Shuttleplatz North, West Broad Street, Downtown Bethlehem, New & Walnut Streets, PNC Stadtplatz (Payrow Plaza), Bethlehem City Hall, Riverport, SouthSide Station at Polk Street Garage and Shuttleplatz South.<\/p>\n
From points west in Trexlertown to points east in Easton, festivalgoers are encouraged to park once and ride, leaving the driving to LANTA, ArtsQuest said in its news release.<\/p>\n
ArtsQuest says garage parking near shuttle stops can reduce circling for on-street parking during peak festival hours and give attendees a simpler, more reliable way to enjoy longer festival stays without needing to relocate their vehicle.<\/p>\n
BPA is also offering lower-cost parking options in garages located slightly farther from the main festival footprint but still conveniently connected to shuttle stops, according to the news release.<\/p>\n
Last year, riders took 23,811 trips across the Fahy Bridge during the 10-day festival, helping reduce traffic congestion and expand access to Musikfest and surrounding neighborhoods, ArtsQuest says.<\/p>\n
\u201cMusikfest brings people together from across the Lehigh Valley and beyond, and making that experience welcoming, accessible and easy to navigate is central to our mission,\u201d said Kassie Hilgert, President and CEO of ArtsQuest.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe continued partnership with LANTA, the Bethlehem Parking Authority, the City of Bethlehem and the SouthSide Arts District allows us to build on last year\u2019s success and offer even more convenient ways for guests to explore the festival. With expanded shuttle services, real-time departure information and more connections between parking and festival locations, attendees can spend less time worrying about transportation and more time enjoying everything Musikfest has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BETHLEHEM, Pa. – An expanded LANTA Musikfest Shuttle service for Musikfest this year aims to ease traffic congestion.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240254,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[225,153,155,154,43588,157,22777,103258],"class_list":["post-240253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-artsquest","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news","tag-lanta","tag-lehigh-valley","tag-musikfest","tag-shuttle-service"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
