Default question about QVNA parking lot

how often do spots free up?
do you have to have PA registration to get one?
is the lot generally overcrowded?

thanks in advance...

Did Parkway tell you it was sold out? That would be news to me. We've rented a spot there for about two years and parking has never been a problem there.

I don't recall whether you need to have PA registration, but you will need to complete a registration form and it will ask you details about your vehicle.

I haven't been able to get anyone yet, so hopefully there's some spots still avail. I just wonder how crowded it gets between 4-5pm on weekdays? and on weekends?

thanks!

I parked there almost 2 years ago and then there was never a parking issue. They only do monthly parking(unless that changed) so the number of cars parked there doesn't change much. There were tons of extra spots.

If you are waiting for Parkway to call you back, they probably won't. They were a pain to deal with and I had to call them over and over to resolve a problem I had with my access card.

I don't think you need a PA registration. I'm pretty sure my girlfriends car had NJ registration when she moved in the area and started parking there.

What's the cost of a monthly spot?

The lot is monthly paid parking only, it's never just open. I think there was a central location up on North Broad St.

Don't remember how long it took to get in the mail. When I first signed up they issued me a card for the wrong parking lot. It took a few days for them to figure out the problem even though I kept calling them.

thanks Jett.

Also, what is parking like for ppl who don't have a parking permit (car is registered in another state)? Is there 2-3 hour slots? Are there any unrestricted spots, say on Front st, or is it tighter packed than sardines?

I can tell parking my car is not going to be one of my favorite aspects of moving down here, lol
