Yesterday I rented space at the newly publicized , next to Starbucks. Inside parking, under the control of "AvalonBay," has a 2-hour limit. I rented room space for 3-hours. Just before the 2-hours expired, I moved my vehicle from the inside parking to street parking, also with a two hour limit.
I stayed in the street parking for 55 mins and received a $25.00 ticket for exceeding the total 2 hour limit. There is NO warning that inside and outside parking are both controlled by "Regional Parking," and that parking time is cumulative.
I have communicated to "Third Workplace" and Bob at "Regional Parking" that this is going to be a business killer for any business at Avalon Bay that has customers that stay over 2-hours.

Bob told me the intention is to install meters, but until then...driver beware, and stay away from any business in Avalon Bay.
