06/06/2006 Archived Entry: "Parking a Scooter"

Fran Mason, who usually writes about her gardening at Northwest Notes, also writes about her scooter. In her latest installment, she talks about downtown parking for scooters. Do you ride a scooter to work? Where do you park? Let her know! "I could have biked to work today, but I hadn't ridden the scooter since Friday and thought it could use some exercise. When I parked it in my usual spot, I was promptly told by the attendant that I can no longer park there. The manager had changed his policy. The parking garage is the one under the Convention Center/ACT Theatre, with its entrance on Seventh Ave. The parking space is an unofficial one next to the bike racks at the bottom of the entrance ramp, before you go under the swing-arm. Three scooters have been parking there in the 11 months I've had my scooter. The new policy is that I'd have to go all the way into the garage and pay six dollars a day, half the cost to park a car. Kicked out, just like that! I got back on and brought it to the building where I work, where they charge five dollars for motorcycles. Have to remember to make sure there are five dollars in my pocket when I leave today."
