Visitor & Driver Tips
Traffic along Manhattan Boulevard can be dense during morning and evening rush hours as commuters move toward the Westbank Expressway; allow an extra few minutes when planning arrivals or departures. Always double-check on-site signage to ensure you remain in designated customer stalls rather than reserved or employee spaces, and remember to secure all valuables out of plain view when leaving your vehicle unattended.
