Those with long vehicles, which entrance do you use to get into the Pacific Center parkade? I went down the Howe/Dunsmuir entrance recently and I thought I was either going to scrape the front bumper along the wall or curb my rear wheel when the ramp curves left to the ticket dispensers... lol...

Is the Robson entrance any better? Howe/Georgia?

Maybe give the Howe / West Pender lot a shot.

How long? I've gotten in with the X5 while it's tight I didn't feel like I was going to scrape walls. My bigger concern is when I get in and out with the M3, the curbs are so tall I would curb the wheels and bumpers if I'm not careful.

It's a 2020 G90, 124.4" wheelbase... lol the car isn't parking lot friendly

keep going straight and you can wrap into the robson entrance which is slightly bigger i think

!LittleDragon 07-31-2025 06:31 PM

Thanks, I'll keep those entrances in mind the next time I need to go there... lol I've had the car 4 years and that was the first time I went into the PC parkade. I've gotten it into and out of Crystal Mall, figured PC couldn't be worse than that... it's not on the inside but the entrances are shit... but once I got inside, I notice all these trucks in there and wondered how they got in there without curbing/hopping the rear wheel on the curb. Now I know why 4 wheel steering is a thing... lol

They need to add 4 wheel steering to Costco shopping carts. Dodging around people is too difficult.

Oh yeah the G90 is huge. Crystal mall is actually not that tight, the problem is the people who frequent it.

i havent seen a single g90 in town yet. but when i dropped off the x5 at the dealership i got to poke around and sit in the g99 in the showroom. i hate that i like it.

I thought the icbc book said to occupy into the parking portion so you can block out bikes on coming up from behind

heck, people turn right from anywhere but the right
