- The vehicle gate hours secure the garage earlier in the evening than the pedestrian access.
- Please note: the vehicle gate has had ongoing programming challenges since we’ve moved into the building that are still being resolved by Greystar’s team. At times it closes early at 6pm and we are working very hard to fix this glitch.
- No. If the vehicle gate is down when you are exiting just pull your car up closer to the gate and it will always open automatically.
- PEDESTRIANS: Do not use the vehicle ramp to enter or exit the garage. It is dangerous and not at an angle/grade to allow for safe pedestrian travel.
- PEDESTRIANS: If you are “stuck” in the garage, simply take the Cathedral elevators up to the first floor and you can always exit the Dean’s courtyard via the gates onto 5th and 6th
- Parking is free all day on Sundays; however, the vehicle gate closes at 7:30 pm unless there is a late evening event.
