Downtown Parking Decks to Start using New Ticket System August 1
GREENSBORO, NC -- (July 29, 2009) – Beginning August 1, a Ticket Retrieval System will be in service at all downtown parking decks. Currently, downtown decks raise the gates at 7 pm Monday through Thursday, at 6 pm on Friday, and all day on Saturday and Sunday to allow customers to enter free of charge. This method doesn’t allow the City’s Parking Operations to keep an accurate count of customer usage after hours.
With the new Ticket Retrieval System, customers can still enter for free during evenings, weekends and holidays, but they will have to take a ticket from the ticket dispenser before the gate will raise, allowing them to enter. When customers exit, they will need to deposit the ticket into the Ticket Retrieval System at the main exit. If the ticket is lost, it will require a $1 deposit into the Ticket Retrieval System to exit.
This will be a big change for nighttime users and venues in downtown. All patrons to downtown during the evening and late night hours need to be aware of these changes when they use City-owned parking decks.
