Tri-Rail Ft. Lauderdale Airport Station parking garage to open Sept. 21
Written by jrood
The new parking garage at Tri-Rail's Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport Station at Dania Beach, Fla., is scheduled to open for use by Tri-Rail passengers on September 21, 2010. The first covered garage on the corridor, the new facility offers 402 parking spaces, considerably more than the 180 spaces that were previously available at the station.
The garage will be
accessible 30 minutes before the first train of the day, until 30 minutes after
the last train of the day. Cars cannot be parked in the garage for more than 24
consecutive hours. Violators will be towed at their own expense. Airport
parking is strictly prohibited.
The three-level,
pre-cast structure provides for improved vehicular circulation, with separate
bus, kiss-n-ride and taxi lanes. It offers improved pedestrian safety and
amenities. The garage features motorcycle and bicycle parking, energy-efficient
elevators and LED lighting.
Construction of the
parking garage was made possible through funding from the Florida Department of
Transportation.
