The plan was put into place on Monday, January 26, during a city council meeting and needless to say, Ballpark Pedicabs is not happy with the decision.

People will not have the luxury of parking close to the park such as when the games were held at Qualcomm. Many will have to walk several blocks to get to the game or events which can be hard for families with young children and for those who are handicapped. Allowing pedicabs access to these streets would be a great solution. Pedicabs are safe, convenient and fun. Fans can park as far away as they like and simply catch a pedicab to the game allowing them to get to the park with ease and enjoy the sites on the way, providing for a great downtown experience.
