| Parking at the Renaissance Harbourside
Harro~
got a meeting tomorrow downtown at the Renaissance on west hastings, and they said they have parking @ $7/hour.
I wondering if anyone knows how the parking lot there is?
-if it's decently large enough I should be able to get a spot for a 3pm meeting, or if I should be scouting parking elsewhere?
-any huge speedbumps i can't clear? i can BARELY make lansdowne ones
It's either that or skytrain from around Brentwood Station, but for the $7 it'd cost me a round trip that way, I figured I may as well drive.
Serious replies only!

There is a parking lot on Hastings right before Thurlow its 3.50/hr. no speed bumps. you just have to go down the ramp, and come back up.
if you are coming from E-Hastings side, it'll be on your left hand side.
found this by using google streetview last week =). http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&sourc...,0.004823&z=18

^ hmm. its not that bad def. manageable.
as soon as you enter, there is a small area to the left, maybe you can do a 3-pt turn n back down the ramp if its too much?
it's kind of like the superstore ramp when you enter from McKay ave. except no speed bumps or grooves.

Hahaha, I guess he doesn't like hondas. He didn't harass Dakota when he used his driveway to turn around. Or he thought it was Morgan driving my fb lol.
