You are asking for some carefully guarded information here.

Good luck.

cheapest for core downtown is probably right by bow valley square on 6 ave and 2nd st if you can get there for the early bird special of 22 dollers.

unless you park somewhere in beltline and walk

The lot under the center street bridge is $17/day (last time I was there)

I think there some other cheap gravel lots east of downtown as well for around $10-$15/day.

Gulf Canada Square is 22 (not even early bird, all the time) and has exits on 9th ave/2nd street and 10th ave which makes it great for avoiding traffic.

Here's another little tip. The Hyatt has parking for $25/day, however if you eat in their restaurant they will validate your parking. You're supposed to spend $50 or more but if you eat a meal at all I cant see them not validating it.

Parking lots around center street as you cross the bridge into the core are cheap. 16 bucks for early bird for one.

I rarely go DT on weekdays. Anybody know where I can park for free or cheap around Gulf Canada Square? I have a quick appointment there. Don't mind walking either, so it can be blocks away.

Hey I have a street parking pass I no longer use (good till the end of 2010) that can be used around 3rd Ave and 8th St SW, or if you want to try your luck you can park in any permit parking zone downtown cause the parking patrol doesn't really check that closely.

Free for a fellow beyonder, a 12 pack of beer :)

I don't know where you work, but there is a dirt lot on the corner of 13th AVE and 5Th st SW. (Beside Hudson's on 5th)

It's very well packed as it was used heavily by the construction guys who were doing the leveling and paving of the parking lot behind the Sheldon Churmin medical centre, which is finished now.

I tend to walk past it between 7:45 and 8:00 each day, and there is always spots.

Ps, it's free, unfenced and well packed.

Vincini lot in the alley between 7th and 8th ave and 5th and 6th street. $16/day early bird, but I think they just changed it to $18.

New lot open on the edge of downtown. $5 all day. Old dealership lot. 9th ave and 11th street. 2 blocks to the 10th street c-train station to get to your office if its deeper in the core.

Gravel lot beside Hudsons. (12th Ave and 5th St. SW)
The desheveled guy will say $10, but i've successfully baragained him down to $5. There is a 50/50 chance he's not legitimate. He's also gone by the time 9:30am rolls around, so arrive late and don't pay at all.

impark on 17th and 4th near rose and crown is 16.00 a day. Bit of a walk to proper downtown but our corporate office is right there so damned convenient for me.
