Pretty much anywhere is free north of 24th ave, and its only about a 10 minute walk. 15 some days. :zzz:

Ok the word you are looking for is "where". Perhaps a bit more school before going to SAIT.

Anyway....yes, Sears does give people tickets for parking on their lot. They seems to do it in waves though. You might get away with it for a month and then they go crazy with it for a couple of weeks.

I parked at the $3 parkplus lot south of the Jubilee parking lot down the hill when I went to SAIT

Go up 10th ST North and turn left on either 18th, 19th Ave. Free 2hr parking there. Should be plenty of space.

21 Avenue and 9 Street NW, in behind the little school that is on 10 street there is lot of parking that does not require a pass or limited by hours. If this block is full sometimes you have to go down to 8 street.

Just watch how close you park to fire hydrants and driveways etc...

Again a 10-15 minute walk to SAIT.


Also depending how you drive to SAIT, if you come up the 10 street hill through Confederation park, watch your speed in the school zone, the cops ALWAYS sit at the top of the hill, either at the church and catch speeders going up the hill, or behind the pizza shop and catch speeders in the school zone.

Home depot has been safe this year! Not too bad of a walk, just go over the overpass and through the mall.

Home depot is west of Sait. 16th ave (highway 1) and 19th street.

I'm guessing you're new to the city? Welcome!
But, just gotta check out the area - drive around look at parking limitation signs in the communities surrounding (I know you'll find something).

Perhaps this would be like the pot calling the kettle black...

If you have to keep driving further and further away it might be better to drive to the train since you already pay for it :dunno:

Good catch there, but the OP would still appear to be lacking somewhat in their spelling and sentence structure skills.

I mean really - when exactly did "im" become a word?

Example - "where should i park? im willing to walk to campus a bit, doesnt matter if i gotta park far" could have read "Where should I park? I'm willing to walk to campus a bit, doesn't matter if I have to park far away."

Really, if one's ability to express themselves in print has degraded to this point, then how does one expect to pass a class at SAIT or even get a decent job - I know that your chances at getting hired at our shop would be nil if this is how your resume looked. People should be able to properly express themselves in both an oral and written fashion, no?
