<p>So the getting started packet says we can appeal for a parking permit on the Garnet Gateway but i can’t find anywhere on the gateway with the form… has anyone else found it?</p>
<p>its nearly impossible to get a spot for first years unless you have a reason that is need based.</p>
<p>my vehicle is competitive and i am very fussy about the paint, but i guess i just have to rough it out with street parking, prob buy a car cover.</p>
<p>you can park on the street in the fall and spring -- it's just the winter months that the city doesn't let you. you can usually buy a place to park from a resident in the neighborhood though, for $75-$200, though. (security keeps track of residents looking to lease out spots.) the trick though is to do it really early in the year, well before the ban goes into effect -- you do much better that way.</p>
<p>thanks for the info. do a lot of freshman bring cars?</p>
<p>no sweat. I'd say that not all that many frosh bring cars -- maybe only 15-20%. but it's usually not hard at all to find someone willing to give you a ride (and JAs/RCs almost always have cars.)</p>
<p>winter...I ll just park on someones lawn.</p>
