The Comstock Ave. Garage is a vital parking infrastructure facility serving the Syracuse University area. Situated at 549 Comstock Ave, Syracuse, NY 13210, this multi-level parking structure provides essential covered parking in a high-density academic and medical district. The garage is built to accommodate standard passenger vehicles, including most sedans, SUVs, and light-duty pickup trucks.
