    Shuttle Plan for CHOGM Venue in St. John’s

    Vehicles could be parked at Rising Sun Grounds and guests shuttled to the performing arts centre during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, Prime Minister Gaston Browne says.

    Browne outlined the idea Saturday on Pointe FM’s Browne and Browne Show after a host asked where people would park at the former Deluxe building, which is being converted into a performing arts centre and is expected to serve as a CHOGM venue.

    “We will park vehicles and shuttle them,” Browne said. He said the area around the venue could be cordoned off, with parking and traffic restricted nearby.

    Browne described it as a plan the government was considering. He did not give a shuttle route, parking capacity, list of affected streets or timetable for announcing traffic arrangements.

    The proposal would keep vehicles away from the venue while using Rising Sun Grounds as a parking point. It was not clear from Browne’s comments whether the restrictions would apply only during meetings at the centre or for a longer period during CHOGM.

    The prime minister said work on the former Deluxe building had transformed its interior and exterior. The venue is also being developed for use as a performing arts centre after the summit.
