Parking precautions
TENANT'S SPACE AT TURNVEREIN:
You may not be aware that there is a tenant living in an apartment in the
basement of the Turnverein. There is a reserved parking space for his use.
The space is in the back of the Turnverein (next to the alley) and is
clearly marked with a large sign and cones in the space. However, there has
been an increasing problem with people attending the Turnverein using that
space - moving the cones, ignoring the large sign in front of the space,
etc. DO NOT PARK IN THAT SPACE or you may be towed!
ADDITIONAL PARKING AT FILLMORE ON NON-CONCERT NIGHTS:
On nights when there is no concert, Fillmore management has agreed to let people
attending Turnverein events park in the Fillmore parking lot, which is adjacent
to the south side of the Turnverein parking lot. (In return, the Turnverein
allows them to rent 3 spaces in the Turnverein lot on concert nights.)
ADDITIONAL PARKING AT BANK OF DENVER:
The Turnverein has arranged with the Bank of Denver to provide
additional spaces for parking near the Turnverein. These spaces
are available any night; not just concert nights. The bank has agreed
to let us use 22 spaces and may add more spaces later if we are
compliant with their requirements.
The manager, Paul "Max" Maxey, will provide a supply of undated permits
to the door table each night he is there. He is off on Thursday and
Friday and will arrange to have Wayne leave a supply of permits at the
door table on Fridays.
However, there are specific instructions members and others attending
the Turnverein need to follow in order to use these spaces.
1. Stop by the Turnverein first and park in front of the stairs, as
close as possible to the stairs, in order to avoid impeding traffic.
2. Pick up a temporary parking permit from the door table. Instructions
should be on the back of each permit or handed out with each permit.
(Some have already been printed only with maps; not instructions.) The
parking permits will be dated as needed, with a large marker, with the
month, date, and year, for example, 03/01/09.
3. Drive to the entrance of the bank parking lot on Clarkson just past
(north of) 16th Ave., on the right (east side).
4. Drive straight to the back of the parking lot and park next to the
alley, or in the spaces on the south side, facing out (people will have
to back into the spaces, so the tow truck drivers driving through the
lot can easily see the parking permits).
5. Place the parking permit on the dashboard of the vehicle.
Any vehicles parked in the wrong spaces, parked facing front end toward
to the alley, or without a permit valid for that date will be TOWED.
The spaces may be used between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM. Vehicles should not
be left overnight past 6:00 AM.
ADDITIONAL PARKING ON FILLMORE CONCERT NIGHTS:
On nights when there is a concert at the Fillmore Auditorium (Colfax and
Clarkson), the Turnverein has also arranged for additional parking in
several small parking lots within a few blocks of the Turnverein. If the
parking lot is full when you arrive at the Turnverein, go ahead and pull
into the parking lot, and speak to one of the parking attendants. They
will probably be able to provide you with a permit and directions to
park nearby.
Even if you already know of the additional lots, you must get a permit
first each time, or your vehicle may be towed! Also, if you park in one
of the additional lots without a permit, the Turnverein parking attendants do
not have an accurate count of how many spaces are left in the nearby lots.
PARKING PRECAUTIONS:
If you are at all uncomfortable walking back to your car alone, please
ask another dancer to escort you to your vehicle, or walk with someone
else leaving at the same time.
Please do not leave any valuables in plain sight in your vehicle and
always lock your vehicle.
