    Parking Downtown???

    Greetings, all. Long time, no type

    I recently started a job downtown (18th and Arapahoe) and would like to ride to work on occasion, but I'll be danged if I can find any place to park my bike. Unless it's a scooter, there doesn't appear to be anywhere to park.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    Check the garage under the Qwest building (the smaller one), they were letting bikes park next to the guard booth a while ago when I worked there pretty cheap and the guy will watch it for you.

    I work in the Qwest building and I know they have motorcycle parking in the garage, but not sure how much it is. I have worked downtotwn for 7 years and have no idea where any of the free or cheap parking spots are, I have always had parking through work.

    I am out of town every other week, so my employer won't cough up the dough for a parking spot in my building (Granite Tower). I'll check the Qwest building, though. Where is the smaller Qwest building? I only know of the monster on Champa.

    Its actually between California and Stout on 18th. Not sure where the other Qwest building is, I think they have a place on Grant.

    Re: Parking Downtown???

    News Flash - I just worked a deal with the parking attendant in the basement of my building. He said as long as I could get around the arm bars that keep cars in and out, I could park there for free. The sportbike won't be a problem, but parking my bagger might get interesting...

    Can anybody confirm that this is still the case (cheap parking under the Qwest building on 18th, between California & Stout)? I have training downtown next week 2 blocks from there (@ 18th & Curtis), so cheap parking, not too far away would be idea.

    TIA

    I work in the Qwest building and parking isn't cheap. They just raised the rates for monthly parking and Im pretty sure they did they same for daily rates.

    The bike parking in the Park Central building on 15th and Arapahoe was $4 a day when I stopped working there two months ago. Check there. If it's too cold to ride, I used to park my truck at the DCPA (Arapahoe & 14th) for $5 a day (early bird). In before 9 out before 6 it's only $5.

    Class is from 8:30 to 6:00, so I won't qualify for the early bird special.

    RTD is looking more and more like the answer... unless I can get reimbursed for parking, in which case it doesn't really matter if I find the cheapest or not.

    Re: Parking Downtown???

    Turns out I'm getting reimbursed for parking, so I'll be parking right across the street from where I'm getting training!

    Thanks anyway, ya'll.
