Evans Avenue Parking
As construction up the hill puts the squeeze on parking we wanted to post another reminder to utilize Evans Avenue (just off of Cesar Chavez) for parking when the bottom of Connecticut Street near the gym is full. Don't drive up the hill to park.
Evans Avenue parking is especially useful during the 7am, 12pm, and 4pm classes when parking immediately next to the gym can sometimes get full (particularly on Wednesdays during street cleaning). As you would anywhere in the city, be sure not to leave any valuables in the car or any items visible from the outside.
I get it... it "feels" like going over to Evans is driving farther away from the gym for some reason - but it's not. It puts you just 1,000 feet or so away from the gym (through two crosswalks), and there's almost always plenty of free parking available - check out a visual orientation by clicking here:
The blue dot is Arena Ready... the red pin is where you should park instead of driving up the hill on Connecticut Street. See, not so far - in fact, I think the 3 minute walking estimate is only accurate if you have to wait at both crosswalks.
If you came in for Monday's WOD then your legs probably feel better post-18.2 than they would have otherwise, so good on ya. On that note, here come our 8s on a one-day delay... who ever said I'm not sympathetic?
