Impact analysis
A $15,311 request from the IDA's roughly $35,000 discretionary budget was not approved.
Visitors, downtown shops, restaurants, and waterfront attractions would benefit from easier weekend circulation if the shuttle runs.
Without funding, the shuttle may not run this summer, hurting weekend visitors and businesses that rely on foot traffic.
