I’m looking for available parking lots or garages near the Capitol that still open after 8:30am. I’ve been taking the light rail from Roseville road to archives station for my office days since RTO implemented in July. resulting in an additional commute time. And because I have to drop my kids off at school at 7:45, I don’t get into downtown until 8:30, I assumed there is no available parking downtown near the Capitol after 8am so Ive used the light rail since. so I’m just curious if there was a solution so I can drive in again. plus a homeless man’s dog took a shit on the light rail on the way home yesterday and we had to just sit with it until they got on to clean it. I’m just over it.

I ran into a coworker in office (whom I actually enjoy chopping it up with) and after our brief convo about our new seating arrangements, right before we parted ways, I said “good to see you.” unintentionally, it just came out so easy. take my ass home now 😔

With July 1 approaching fast, I’m just curious how everyone’s department is handling it. if you’ve gotten direction on which days you’re coming in? Which cubes? Does it feel like a shit show too?

For downtown HQ, we were offered 4 parking spots (a month) at our DOT TOT lot for free, reserved as first come first serve through the App Space app. we just received an email that they are now reducing that to 2 parking spots a month. granted this is more than what most downtown offices are offering but still. they also noted that two more lots will be available through an application. however one lot is only for executive staff and the other lot already has a long wait list so they’re not even accepting applications. I thought this memo would provide additional help to the parking crisis, yet I was wrong.

the fact that the dgs parking structures (DGS-Managed Garage Lot 24 to be exact) is already full by 7:15 is absolutely garbage. we haven’t even started the RTO 4 days and it’s they expect us all to take the garbage light rail.

just got an email from upper management that they’ll be enforcing the 4 day RTO July 1. further info to come when we meet. I doubt we have the office space. no further info or logistics. pretty lame.
