Visitor & Driver Tips

Morning commuter volume into the civic district peaks between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM, particularly on active court trial dates; arriving earlier ensures a wider choice of lower-level parking stalls. When entering, keep headlights on low beam for enhanced visibility inside the garage decks. If visiting during regional civic festivals or county court sessions, note your parking section and floor level on your mobile device to ensure quick retrieval at the end of the day.
