Parking around Southwest is a logistical night mare! There are permit only, restricted times, no parking and why bother. If you are not careful, it will cost you over $100 for the parking violation and in many cases a trip downtown to find out where they towed your car.
Parking is a continuing neighborhood issue. For the past 5 years Southwest and the Minneapolis Schools have been negotiating with QWest regarding the almost always empty parking lot on Beards and 47th. Use of that lot was part of a neighborhood-city-school agreement now 6 years ago to attempt to standardize the parking regulations and ease some of the problems.
Well, as you know, the parking is still a problem and the QWest lot is still empty. Maybe if you know someone who works there and has some influence, you can suggest that living in the neighborhood suggestions also being cooperative.
Southwest wants to be a friendly and greeting school, but parking several blocks away, especially on these frigid mornings, does not help the image.
Be careful of where you park and say hello to the neighbors.
