The WAVE bus to provide free rides to patrons, extra stops at Nehalem parking areas.

Parking at NCRD next week, starting Monday April 7th through Wednesday April 9th is going to be even more of a challenge as ALL the parking lots will be closed for paving and striping.

PLEASE NOTE:  This is “weather dependent”, if it is raining the paving may be postponed.

“We’ve made arrangements with Tillamook County Transportation District to provide some extra stops at the parking lot in downtown Nehalem, the pickleball courts and at the Methodist Church, so patrons can park there and catch a bus ride,” explained executive director Justin Smith.

The Tillamook County Transportation District/The Wave Route 3 bus will provide a fare-free deviation as it travels north and south through Nehalem. Each trip will travel off route to serve the pickleball courts, the parking lot at Hwy. 101 and 7th Street, and the Nehalem Methodist Church lots and take customers to NCRD; then pick up at NCRD and reverse the extra stops along the route. Look for the sandwich boards in each location for the WAVE NCRD bus. Patrons should be at the lots a few minutes before those scheduled times and can board for free after telling the driver they wish to go to NCRD.

Here are the times each Route 3 trip is scheduled to be in Nehalem: 5:53a, 6:15, 8:58, 10:00, 10:58, 12:00noon, 1:38p, 2:00p, 3:28p, 4:30p, 7:13p and 8:15p

A reminder that NCRD is still an active construction zone – no parking in the lower lot by the new aquatics center, and obey all NO PARKING signage. Please bring your patience with you when parking at NCRD and be respectful of the neighbors by not blocking driveways or entrances.  If you can carpool to classes or events, please do so to lessen the impacts. Do not utilize the City rights-of-way as parking spaces, especially on the east side of 9th Street. There are cones and signage, please do not remove the cones/signage, and obey the restrictions.

“We’re getting closer every day towards the opening of the Aquatics Center, but there will continue to be parking and road disruptions over the next few months,” added Smith. “We appreciate everyone’s patience and we will continue to notify the community about these closures as soon as possible.”
