  2. I need parking for only Saturday and Sunday night in Sioux City. I will drive myself to Sioux City and my wife will pick up the car on Monday 7/24. I presume I will not need to pay the weeklong parking rate. What rate will be charged for just two days?

    • I live in a mobile home in South Sioux City, a few minutes away from the river. You can park a vehicle in my driveway at no charge.

  3. If the City hadn’t closed off the second entrance to the Riverfront, they could have just taken Floyd, from the beginning. 🙁
