If it is a weekend show the churches are using their parking lots.

I doubt if Rolling Acres stores will let people park in their parking lot.
With a shuttle system, the existing parking areas near Spanish Springs are in my opinion sufficient to accommodate patrons at all PAC shows and daytime special events. I also think you should not dismiss the idea that agreements and arrangements could be worked out with businesses and churches to use designated areas at specific times. If TV administration asks for it, it WILL be done. In La Grande Plaza and Rolling Acres PAC patrons will not park up near stores if the shuttles travel only through the remote areas in the lots. The bigger, faster trolleys can indeed shuttle to rec centers. If everything started to work, SS businesses were doing better, and parking was still a little tight, I predict Mr. Morse would approve paving over some nearby unused space.
With creative thinking I just think this parking thing is a non-issue.
