Visitor & Driver Tips
Monroe Street experiences heavier traffic volumes during morning (8:00 AM – 9:30 AM) and evening (4:30 PM – 6:00 PM) commuter rush hours; plan a few extra minutes for exiting onto the eastbound or westbound lanes during peak periods. Visitors should park within marked visitor bays directly facing the primary entryway. If arriving for a meeting during inclement winter weather, the lot is routinely plowed, though drivers should remain mindful of localized packed snow along outer curb lines.
