Does anyone know where to find a map that includes all the parking lots/ramps in Buffalo?
There seeems to be too much parking in places it isn't really needed and not enough where it is. I'd like to actually SEE if that's true or not.

A little more than half of the available land in downtown Buffalo is surface or ramp parking (I'm not kidding), so it's pretty easy to find.
Personally, if there is a parking problem in the city it is that there is an overabundance of poorly planned parking lots. Poorly planned in that they take up valuable commercial and other development and not because it is hard to find a parking spot. The only place with a legitimate complaint, in my opinion, is Allentown (more specifically near Allen and Wadsworth), but that has to do with the city foolishly selling a public lot (at least 50 spaces) to an apartment building in Days Park.

I seem to remember that Buffalo Place has a parking lot map on their website, but I'm too lazy to look for it.
I should get a green dot for honesty.

Interesting how all over the place the rates are.
It all depends on where the ramp is and, in some cases, what time of day it is.

I think that non-reserved spaces average about $70/month throughout downtown. There may be some higher, But I don't think it gets too much lower - unless you go to the peripheral areas.

So $840 dollars a year to park your vehicle so you could go to work DT........ That is two months gas bill, electric for 8 months, water for a couple years........ That is crazy sorry....... I would take the bus or something.......
People do not realize these little expenses on recurring basis add up. Always always multiply by 12.......
The same o same o when the cable company raised the rates a couple times a year… It is only 3 or 4 dollars. No lady multiply it out by 12 that is $48 in my book. Telephone bill, Water bill for a month. Some electric……….
