Employee parking in Downtown Bend | Easy & Affordable

3/4/2019

4 Comments

 
If you work in Downtown Bend, the best way to park is to purchase a parking permit through Diamond Parking and park your car in employee designated areas.  Here's why:
  1. You leave core parking spaces open for customers so that Downtown Businesses can thrive
  2. You don't have to worry about moving your car or getting a ticket

Where are the approved locations?

Picture
There are 5 approved lots for employees to park in:
  1. Parking Garage
  2. Newport Lot (By Chi and Journey Church)
  3. Hospital Hill (Doubletree)
  4. Yellow Street Parking (The streets between Downtown & 97)
  5. Green Street Parking (The streets by McMenamins)

How much does it cost?

Permit rates range from $20 to $50 per month, or if you make under $17/hr - the discounted range is from $10-$25 per month.
​Parking Garage - $40/mo
Newport Lot - $20/mo
Hospital Hill (Doubletree) - $30/mo
Yellow Street Parking - $30/mo
​Green Street Parking - $50/mo

If you make under $17/hour you can get a parking permit at 50% off the prices above!

How do these rates compare to other similar Downtowns?

Compared to other Downtown areas - Bend's employee rates are very affordable.  Here are a few comparisons:
  • Santa Barbara (population 92,000) - $100-$160/mo
  • ​Eugene (population 168,000) - $45-$60/mo
  • Bellingham (population 89,000) - $33-$90/mo
  • Bozeman (population 46,000) - $50-$80/mo

Why is it important to leave the parking spaces closest to the core for customers?

Picture
If you are an employee in Downtown Bend, then you have a vested interest in seeing Downtown Bend succeed.  

The graphic to the left helps explain the value of a parking space.  If an employee parks in a space in front of a business, you can calculate the dollar amount of lost sales because of that.

The graphic to the left is an example from Vancouver, Wa.  For a business owner to figure out the exact, specific amount their business is loosing by having an employee park in front of their business, take your average sale ($X.XX) x 7.69 (Bend’s turnover ratio) x 300 (shopping days) to = the annual value of a parking stall.

In the big picture, you can play around with these numbers to get an idea of the overall impact of employees parking in the core of Downtown Bend.  Imagine that just 1 (of the 4,000) employees in Downtown Bend park in the core (in front of a business), and let's imagine that the average sale of a Downtown business is $15, using the formula above, that would be a collective loss of income to Downtown businesses of $34,605/year.  Now imagine that 50 or 100 employees are parking in the core.

How do I get a permit & who do I contact with questions?

You can get a permit by going to Diamond Parking at 841 NW Bond Street in Downtown Bend.  The Diamond parking office right between Cozy in Bend and the Bond Street Barbershop.  You can contact them at (541) 317-2805.

This post made an interesting point that when looking at parking rates, consider the corporate package as it helps to save money. My brother will be out of town on a business trip and he mentioned about parking at parking bay. I will advise him accordingly.

I'm so happy to share this with you that can read / see this now. When I started trading binary and forex a few months ago, I really didn't have the necessary tools to trade and I lost a lot until I met Pablo Martinez who taught me all about market psychology as he managed my account for me. Today I am grateful to him for his great offer and help because it really changed my financial situation with an investment capital of $1500 and now I'm earning around $35,500 - $30,000 profits per week. Here is his WhatsApp no: +44 7520 636249 or his email address: pm7234029@gmail.com

I suffered from what they called peripheral artery disease (PAD). I have been suffering for years, Me and my wife searched for a medical cure, and then we came across a testimony of a man who suffered the same and was cured by Dr Chief Lucky. So my wife and I contacted Dr Chief Lucky via an email and thank God he replied. I explained what was wrong and he sent me herbal medicines that helped heal me completely. I am happy to say that herbal medicine is the ultimate and Dr Chief Lucky I am grateful. You can contact him on his email: chiefdrlucky@gmail.com or whatsapp: +2348132777335, Facebook page http://facebook.com/chiefdrlucky or website https://chiefdrlucky.com/. Dr Chief Lucky said that he also specializes in the following diseases: LUPUS, ALS, CANCER, HPV, HERPES, DIABETES, COPD, HEPATITIS B, HIV AIDS, And more.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
