Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching the lot, enter via Mega Street NW just north of Portage Street NW. Traffic along Portage Street can become congested during peak morning and evening rush hours, as well as during weekend shopping surges near I-77, so plan for a few extra minutes when turning onto or off the main thoroughfare. Always park between marked lines, ensure valuables are placed out of plain sight, and lock your vehicle before leaving.
