Free Shuttle Transports Riders To Downtown Manhattan Beach
To make up for the closure of Lot 3, the City of Manhattan Beach is offering a free shuttle service to the downtown area.
MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — The City of Manhattan Beach established a temporary shuttle service to make up for the lost parking due to the closure of Lot 3 downtown.
The free service conveniently transports riders from Pacific Elementary School to downtown Manhattan Beach. The shuttle runs every 20 minutes from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
"We encourage everyone to take advantage of this convenient option to reduce carbon emissions and alleviate parking challenges downtown," city officials said in a statement.

Parking Lot 3 was built in 1971 before modern building codes that include crucial seismic safety measures were enforced. A 2022 seismic assessment found that both the second and third levels of the structure weren't up to standards.
