Des Moines, Iowa (RI) — The Iowa State Fair is making some changes to try to improve the traffic flow for the one million or so people who visit every year. State Fair CEO Jeremy Parsons says one big change will make it easier to park.
He says there will also be a change in the service where you can park and ride a bus to the Fairgrounds. They are dropping the park and ride service at Southeast Polk High School for another location.
Parsons says this was brought on when Pleasant Hill dropped the bus service that serves the Des Moines metro area. Parson says these services are very popular.
Parson says. Long lines of traffic can build on the busy days of the State Fair and Parsons says they are looking at other ways to make it easier to get in and out.
He says they feel adding the third entrance will help ease some of the congestion. The third entrance will cost around one-point-five million dollars.
