The future of free parking on nights and weekends, a downtown Knoxville amenity that helps encourage people to visit and explore our city, is the subject of a survey that has surfaced some stress among downtown businesses.

Ryan Wilusz and Brianna Paciorka talk about the implications of removing free parking and how the amenity contributed to the renaissance of downtown Knoxville.
