CG is automated and each entry and exit machine has an intercom (HELP BUTTON) which allows parkers to call for assistance.
Overnight parking is not available to visitors or CG permit holders without a valid overnight permit. Overnight visitor parking is available in the South Garage.
LED signs posted at Visitor and Permit entrances indicate the status of the parking that is available for that area: OPEN means that area, either visitor or permit is available. FULL means the area, either visitor or permit is full and not available for additional parkers. Note, visitors and permit parking are separate and one area of the garage may be full, while the other area is not.

Permit holders may enter from E. 19th or E. 21st street (right lane). Permit holders must register their vehicle to their active permit.

Visitor Parking Operations
Approximately 60 spaces in the facility are allocated for visitor parking and are ONLY accessible from E. 21st Street (left entry lane). Once the allocated spaces are filled, the visitor status changes to full and will not allow additional visitor parking. Since the system is automated, reserved parking for visitors cannot be accommodated and visitor parking is on a first-come basis. Overnight visitors are not allowed in CG and should utilize South Garage. Day restarts at 12am (No overnight parking).
