The West Whitner Street Parking Garage is open. The garage is located at the intersection of N. Murray Avenue and W. Whitner Street. The entrance is on Whitner Street. The parking rate is $.50 per hour with a parking meter system that utilizes pay by space stations. Two pay stations are located on each floor at the access points into the garage. Pay stations are networked and accept coins, tokens, debit cards, and credit cards. The pay stations are user friendly and will guide you on how to pay for parking much like an ATM or paying for goods with a debit or credit card at a store. You will need to remember your parking space number in order to process your payment at the pay station.
