Construction on the Midtown Gardens Marketplace King Soopers project began after spring break, causing temporary impacts on the availability of park-n-ride parking for MAX riders at Drake Station. 

The parking disruption will begin on March 21 and about 100 spaces used for MAX parking will be unavailable. Vehicles within the construction zone will be towed. 

For CSU students and employees who typically park in this area, here are some alternatives to consider: 

• Use another MAX park-n-ride lot: Park-n-ride is available at the following MAX stations: Downtown Transit Center – Civic Center Parking Structure (for a fee); or free at Swallow, Troutman and South Transit Center (park-n-rides are shown with a “P” icon on the MAX route map at ridetransfort.com/routes/max).  

• Bike-n-ride: Bike parking is available at all MAX stations and bikes are allowed on-board all MAX vehicles.  Learn more at ridetransfort.com/abouttransfort/bike-n-ride.

• Park at CSU’s South Campus: Permitted parking is available for CSU students and employees in the Research Boulevard lot on South Campus. Research Boulevard is considered a remote lot and offers reduced “R” permit prices. R permits are available at prorated prices for the rest of the spring semester ($60) or through Aug. 14, 2022 ($107). Partial week permits are also available for the Research Boulevard lot with special pricing for two or three days per week. Research Boulevard is served by the Around the Horn shuttle, which is free and runs every 10 minutes Monday – Friday and every 20 minutes on Saturday.
