Great news, commuters! The commuter-only lot on 99W is now open for your use! Even better, it is only two blocks from the quad and the Stevens Center, and is much closer than the Le Shana lot. For your safety, please cross 99W only in a marked crosswalk either at Meridian Street or River Street.
There is only one entry point, and it is on the northeast corner of the lot. If coming from Dundee, you will need to turn left from 99W right before the giant flagpole and then make a quick left turn into the lot. For those coming from Sherwood, as soon as you pass the flagpole where the road splits, watch for the left-hand turn into the lot.
