downtown parking

hey guys

i was just wondering, for those of you who work downtown. do you actually drive your car down there every day? if so, where do you park and much do you pay?

thanks

I pay $350/month for parking. Secured underground lot.

impark? how do you get a monthly pass?

if you park on the streets make sure you're allowed to after 3:30pm. I just had my van towed last night... doh! Costed me just over $100.00 for the tow and the ticket.

You pay them, and they give it to you :).

Their payment office is under the Calgary Tower.

I drive everyday and pay any where from 10 to 14 dollars a day depending if I'm late for work

My rental car was towed once when I was in TO. I read the parking meter and it was in effective from 8am-3:30pm, so I parked there. But what I didn't read was the big street sign that says no parking during rush hour (3:30pm-6:00pm)!!! double DOH! I think I even put more money in the meter!!! :banghead:

I ride my motorbike and park wherever the hell I want for free! :rofl:

But in the snow it's park in bridgeland/10thSt area and walk for me...

is there a way you can avoid going down to thier office each month? can i like just buy it from the machine that prints the regular daily tickets?

Impark bill me monthly from my CC, you need 3 month notice to cancel a monthly pass. You don't have to go down to their office each month.

I work downtown everyday..
And I never Pay for parking. In fact I park all day for free( I have to move my car at lunch-10ft fwd)
Man to park down town all you need is 15 extra dollars when you re new your plates.

??? so what do you do?

I drive downtown everyday, and it cost me $107 a month for my impark pass at the Holiday Inn.

Try the following links to locate a lot near you:

Calgary Parking Authority

Imperial Parking

Depending on where you work and how far you're willing to walk will determine your cost of parking. There are a number of options. Look at it this way, if you were to take the train every day it would cost $6o bucks for a month pass. If parking costs you 150, then really your only out an extra 90 for getting to drive everyday.

i pay $250 a month at GCS

Depending where you are there is still some free stuff around. I found some stuff on 10th ave for $60-$70. The closer to the heart the more it's going to cost you.

Park for free all the time, love having a small car ;)

I save the 2-3 hundred/mo by riding my (pedal) bike to work downtown. Zero $$$ + park at building + exercise = :D
