Parking
The public and jurors should park at the Townsite Parking Garage, located approximately ½ block east of Kansas Ave on 5th Street (just before the road curves and becomes Quincy).  Parking for jurors only will be validated by the Court.  The garage may fill up quickly, so please allow plenty of time to locate a parking space and walk to the building. Do not park in any reserved spaces or in prohibited areas. The Court is not responsible for any parking citations you may receive and will not validate parking for jurors at any other facility, unless the Townsite Parking Garage is full.
