Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching the lot, use GPS coordinates 39.764244, -104.854752 to navigate cleanly off the main arterial onto the designated access lane. If parking to catch the RTD A Line train to Denver International Airport, factor in an extra 10–15 minutes during peak morning rush hours (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM) due to traffic along Peoria Street and I-70 on-ramps. Always lock your vehicle, take personal valuables with you, and confirm your parking session via the posted payment platform or on-site payment signage upon arrival.
