James Smith Carpark (Wellington)

[oneofsix]

So they close off the parking completly?

You have a point. The notice is ambiguous in that is says "This area will no longer be available for motorbike parking". This sort of thing usually means they are not providing an alternative because they haven't indicated there will be an alternative area.

God, I love NOT living in the big smoke anymore shit I can park anywhere & not worry about this sort of council bullshit

Have just been speaking to Erica at Tournament Parking. The primary reason for the change was that one of their account customers requested that whole space under their contract.

They are going to be charging for motorbike parking in the building from now on and are singposting an area of a couple of existing carpark space for motorbikes.

The charge for the James Smith is $50/mth or alternatively if you register your bike in their system for $75.mth you can park in any of their Wellington Buildings.

Nope, apparently a car yard has paid for this space to store some surplus cars.

Can't blame tournament or WCC on this one.

The council is using this car yard as extra parking for the RWC! [this is a lie]

I didnt think you could get a car under there?

Probably can't - I've only ever seen bikes parked there have never actually used that space myself

[Hitcher]

The area where bikes park is dead space that can't take cars. I'd be curious to learn what Tournament have planned for that area. I use it myself when I take the bike to work.

Well it 'could' take a certain number of cars if they were not going to be using the park like a normal car park user....

This is interesting.....

It appears that there IS a way for motorcycles to use normal car parks....
