A computerized Reserved
Parking System has been
launched in time for the B.C.
Place Stadium.

Stadium General
Manager, Harry Renaud, is
confident the new system
will ensure that the 60,000-

B.C. Lions par

seat stadium will open with

sufficient parking spaces
available.

“To the best of my
knowledge there isn't
another system like it in
North America.

“We are delighted to have

received the support of five
of the major parking
operators in the downtown —
Imperial Parking, Metro,
Citipark, Canpark and DPC
-- for this innovative com-
puterized parking system,”
Renaud said.

Under the scheme,
stadium patrons wil be able
to purchase reserved parking
when they buy their event
tickets. The new system will
be operated by the Van-
couver Ticket Centre and
Central Box Office using
their 18 computer outlets in
the Lower ‘Mainland to
guarantee a parking space
handy to the new stadium.

“This will mean that on
most event nights there will
be almost 12,000 parking
spaces available for stadium
fans and that should over-
come what some people per-
ceived as our ‘biggest
headache.”

“It will now be possible to
guarantee a parking spot
when you buy your stadium
tickets and this will cut down
a great deal of needless traf-
fic searching for spaces close
to the new building,”
Renaud said.

The basic fee will be
$3.50, of which 50 goes to
VTC-CBO. Premium park-
ing spaces closest to the
stadium will cost more,
while stalls more than 1,000
metres away will cost $2.50.

VTC-CBO outlets will
have maps showing available
parking spaces and prices, or

‘ing by computer

a ticket purchaser can simp-
ly ask for a computer search

for the closest available
space.
The new scheme has

divided all available parking
within a few blocks of the
stadium into four zones.
Depending on stadium atten-
dance, only the closest zones
will be used. The system has
the capacity to meet all re-
quirements of stadium-
destined vehicles, even for a
sell-out crowd of 60,000.

Season ticket holders for
the B.C. Lions and Van-
couver Whitecaps will be ac-
commodated by the Reserv-
ed Parking System as well as
casual stadium patrons
without jeopardizing
downtown parking for non-
stadium users, according to
Renaud.

Special provision has been
made for handicapped park-
ing under the computer

system and a reserved lot
will be available adjacent to
one of the stadium en-
trances.

Under the new scheme,
B.C. Place guarantees pay-
ment for all spaces sold by
VTC-CBO whether they are
eventually used or not.

The parking lot operators
in turn, will reserve special
stadium spaces, guarantee
the delivery of spaces sold
through the new system, and
show common _ Reserved
Parking System signs during
stadium events.

Renaud said B.C. Place is
“very much a pioneer” in the
reserved parking system and
he paid tribute to the
downtown parking lot
operators who have given
their support.

“Without the co-operation
and willingness of downtown
parking operators to join us,
I am sure parking would
have been much more dif-

ficult,” he said.

“It has to be remembered
that nearly half of the ex-
isting parking spaces within
a reasonable walk of the
stadium are not used at
night, even on the busiest of

nights.

“Now the parking lot
operators have agreed to
turn most of this excess
capacity over to the Reserv-
ed Parking System for the

use of stadium fans,”
Renaud said.
B.C. Place its co-

ordinating and developing
the new system and also will
manage over 2,000 parking
spaces the crown corportion
has agreed to provide adja-
cent to the stadium.

The computer parking
system will be reviewed in
August after it has been
given atrial for several weeks
of B.C. Lions, Whitecaps
and other events.
