If so, you probably didn\u2019t know that in addition to the three multi-story parking decks, there are 10 parking lots in Glenwood South, yet most of these parking lots are rarely used.\u00a0 Why? You can easily drive right by them, because they\u2019re behind buildings or hidden behind shrubbery.<\/p>\n
Many lots are only available after-hours<\/b><\/p>\n
Another reason these lots are under-utilized is that they are associated with private businesses, so people assume they\u2019re not available.\u00a0 Like most others, you avoid the risk being towed.<\/p>\n
You may be surprised to know that Glenwood South has seven publicly available after-hours lots with a combined 138 spaces.\u00a0 This is thanks to companies like Park Select<\/a>, who have developed a business model focusing on small private lot owners, encouraging them to make their lots available to the public during after-hours, after their business is closed.<\/p>\n Online app makes finding parking easier<\/b><\/p>\n There\u2019s now an online app that explains it all.\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty simple really, a mobile (smart-phone) friendly web based application that shows all the lots on a map, and provides information on rates, methods of payment and hours of operation.\u00a0 It even has a link to launch your phone\u2019s map application so you can get turn-by-turn directions.<\/p>\n Bookmark this page www.gsnc.raleighdla.com\/parking<\/a> and use it every time you\u2019re heading over to Glenwood South.<\/p>\n How to use the map<\/b><\/p>\n Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n Let us know how it\u2019s working<\/b><\/p>\n Members of the Glenwood South Neighborhood Collaborative<\/a>\u00a0and DTRaleigh.com<\/a> worked together in the development of this online parking application, and based on feedback from neighborhood merchants and the public we hope to expand the area to include other downtown districts.<\/p>\n![\"Mapscreenshot\"](\"http:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighdla\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Mapscreenshot-223x300.jpg\")
