Driving directions to: Spanish Banks West
 
hey guys,

i have to go to spanish banks west this week and i'm not sure how to get there.

so i google mapp'ed it and i got this
http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&sourc...,0.077162&z=14

Is the "B" Spanish banks West? Spanish banks west also has free parking apparently. the street view shows parking spots and i do not see meters.

If someone could confirm that be great.

ya that looks like it, I go there all the time. locarno and spanish is all free parking.. just keep driving down till you see the first real parking lot is spanish banks west

twitchyzero 07-26-2010 11:16 PM

move down your streetview by 100m east and you'll see the free parking lot
dont be surprised if it's full if you plan on going during weekends

tiger_handheld 07-27-2010 09:24 AM

^ lets say that i get there late, and all the free parking spots are taken? where else can i park?

either get there before noon or after 5pm when people start leaving..good luck finding parking between those times

tiger_handheld 07-27-2010 11:04 AM

^ right so if i get there between those times. where can i park? im willing to pay...

side of the road or just keep driving around till you eventually find parking

there is usually room infront of the houses because most of them have garages. If you don't mind a 5-10 minute walk

Make sure it is a legal spot! People got ticketed and towed this weekend parking where there are no parking signs. Busters just kept coming and towing, I even got to see a couple people chasing the tow truck down the street! :)

And make sure if you do park on the side of the road, that you don't park too far over and end up in the ditch like the pics we saw on here from last week lol

was lucky enough to get a spot around 230 this past saturday, just gotta be patient and ask ppl if they're leaving

I'm almost sure those were parked illegally, so you'd get ticketed and towed to an impound lot too! :)
