I was just reading my review from 14 years ago after I noticed someone had commented on it and…read moreliterally everything I wrote is no longer true. First of all parking payment rates have drastically changed along with the hours that you need to pay for parking. There is no free half hour anymore. You now have to pay Monday through Saturday up to 10PM. I believe the rate is $1.25 per hour. You also must pay in advance and guesstimate how long you plan to stay and there's no half hour increments so if you only want to pop into a restaurant for carry out, then you need to either take your chances and not pay, or pay for an hours worth of parking. Also, none of the three places I mentioned that I visited exist anymore, but there are lots of great stores and new restaurants in Downtown Silver Spring to explore. This parking garage is the closest one to where all the action is in Downtown Silver Spring.

This garage is extremely convenient to all of the downtown shops and restaurants. It's well lit,…read morefairly clean, and has signs that identify which direction things are such as Wayne Avenue, retail/restaurants, elevators, and staircases. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends and evenings because of the time period and because it's free to park if you exit after 9pm on weekdays and free all day on the weekend. There are electronic signs that indicate the number of spots on each level as you ascend the ramps to the next level, but they're usually inaccurate. The technology to sense filled/vacant spots that's used it Tysons Corner Center, for example, isn't used here. Still, I've never had a problem parking. There are usually attendants on duty before 9 pm as well as several kiosks to pay before you return to your car. You can also pay upon exit, but that causes a line of cars behind you and is inadvisable on a busy night.

By the time I got there at 7, there were plenty of 3 hour parking spots available just one level up. I love that the meters only have to be paid from 7 am to 7 pm on weekdays!

You can also pay cash, but the machine don't give change. (That wasn't the case last time I used this garage in 2012, when it gave out $1 coins. Not sure whether this change is good or bad.) Because it's accessed from side streets, it's not difficult to exit & you don't feel like you're taking your life in your hands when pulling out. I almost subtracted a star for being across the street from Tastee Diner, but it's not their fault I lack willpower. (Try the French toast.)

So I searched Montgomery County Parking website for Silver Springs parking facilities and found 10 garages with rates of either $1 or $0.65 an hour. http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DOT-Parking/silver-spring/silver-spring-parking-garage.html Looks like the renovations that started January 2010 were never finished. Four and one-half years later, 3 floors of parking spaces are fenced off. Only 53 (45 3-hour limit and 8 handicap) parking spots on the first floor are available for use. Meters operate 7am to 7pm Monday - Friday. Weekends free. If you can't find an open parking spot, go west on Spring to the next closest garage on Spring and Cameron.

I saw a parking enforcement person writing tickets when I returned to my own vehicle (no ticket for me though). Plenty of handicapped parking, stairs and an elevator. The pedestrian exit to the road seemed a bit narrow as well. And as always, be aware of your surroundings!
