Hi All, I just want to share with you a couple of things. First of all, parking on Gideon St. (and the surrounding public streets) are governed by the parking regulations of the City of Portland. Therefore, if you park in the 5 minute area during any time you may be ticketed if your vehicle is there longer than 5 minutes. The areas marked with the 2-hour signs on the public street are in effect Monday through Saturday from 7 am until 6 pm. I know that parking in the lot is also an issue some days. According to the people who manage the parking lot those spaces are assigned to each tenant 24/7. However, the person that "usually" calls the towing company to have improperly parked cars towed is only works Monday through Friday, so to be safe against towing or ticketing please park in the Forum designated parking spots in the lot. If you come in to use the library and there are no spaces available please let the receptionist know and we will try to ensure that the designated Forum spaces are indeed being utilized by Forum members, and not some of the other tenants of the buildings. This also means that when you sign in at the desk to please put your car license number on the sign-in sheet. I know that the parking situation can be frustrating to all of us, but please note that the tight parking situation may be alleviated in the coming months as it is possible that some of the building tenants may be moving th! eir businesses elsewhere in the city.
