If you are staying in the area first and last night, you might want to contact one of the north or south side hotels and see if they will let you park your car while you are gone. The ones near hot metal bridge might be the best chance of that happening.
It is not a big deal to drive to south side at night, if you stay on surface streets and do not take the bike path.
thanks for the information. Looked into it and the hotels on the south side both have small lots and charge for parking. Looking at the map I see that there is 'Hot Metal Parking Garage' on Sydney Street. Being at the Hot Metal Bridge will mean 2 things: 1) needing to back-track to the Point to start the trail at 0 miles; and 2) working our way from Amtrak to the hotel at night.
