Getting There
If you're not traveling by car, bike, or on foot, a great way to get to the Speaker Series is on BATA. BATA has a City Loop Route 2 stop right in front of West Shore Bank's building. It’s a straight shot for anyone coming from downtown Traverse City or south of town (such as near Woodmere, LaFranier, etc.). Buses run every 30 minutes and the cost is only $1.50 one-way.
Parking
While there is no onsite event parking, West Shore Bank is surrounded by public parking options, including street parking along Boardman Ave. and metered spaces between West Shore Bank & Commongrounds. Click here to explore additional parking options.
