Thought this might be a good time to share a map showing the two public parking lots available for parking.

Believe it or not, there is actually already a parking garage in Nob Hill!

Both are operated by Premium Parking and are very empty most evenings. I've added their current rates to the map as well in case it is helpful.

Is there an app like 'Spot Hero' that includes Albuquerque. I used the app often in Chicago and it directed you to a myriad of paid sites. Some surface lots others simply a space in someone's driveway that they contracted with spot hero to rent out on an hourly basis. It worked out great

>> I've followed the commentary as each small business license application in our neighborhood's "mixed use" areas comes up for discussion. Some comments are very telling, such as the City being anti-parking structure because they do not generate revenue for it. At least they're being honest. This is the same City that installed parking meters on our side streets all along Central in Nob Hill to generate revenue for itself. It's good to have priorities. It's useful to look beyond the hysteria that any new liquor or cannabis license is a threat to our children, our neighborhood, and civilization as we know it. Remember when the "antis" opposed the needed parking structure on UNM's campus for years? We had students parking on all our neighborhood streets and the City's response was to add signage saying "for residents only".
