parking

Coming downtown on July 4th doesn't have to be scary! There are lots of places to park, and here's a helpful guide on where they are, and a map to help you find them!

Tens of thousands of people are expected to visit downtown Grand Rapids to tour ArtPrize exhibits duration of the competition. That makes finding a place to park a vehicle a little bit difficult at times, even if it's only a bicycle. But this year ArtPrize has an option for bikes. Valet parking.

ArtPrize brings a lot of excitement to Grand Rapids! ArtPrize also brings a lot of cars. Read our guide to parking at ArtPrize 2013.

Visiting ArtPrize is fun, but the crowds and traffic can be a lot to deal with.  Knowing where to go and how to get around town can help maximize the time you spend downtown at ArtPrize. View our guide to parking and transportation and make the most of ArtPrize 2012.

Not sure how this is even happens, but... One Detroit resident who racked up more than $13,000 in unpaid parking tickets! This guy managed to wrack up 188 parking ticktets!  Really. He says he credits "immaturity" as a factor in amassing the large debt, and his drivers' license is invalid because of parking tickets...

Okay, so where WFGR is located there is a parking lot where many people in the building park.  I pull into work this morning at 8AM... and outside the gate the sign says "FULL", and thus no more spots. This would be fine except for the fact there were about 8 cars in a parking lot that holds about 50!
