State Parking Garage T - Austin, Texas

A

This garage is horrible! Hands down the worst designed garage I've ever experienced. It is intended to accommodate about 2500 cars, but there are only 2 entrances/exits and both of them are consolidated in the exact same spot. Resulting in a massive bottleneck while coming or going no matter which way you're going/coming. To make matters worse, one of the entrances/exits is frequently "broken" resulting in only being able to use one entrance/exit.

I have also known 2 people who got flat tires on the raised and sharp security barricades and at least 1 who had their gas tank punctured by it. Others have scraped the sides of their cars because the design of the garage is such that one needs to make sharp u-turns - often across oncoming traffic - to get up or down the 5-7 floors. There are fences and barriers that are below car/truck window height so it becomes impossible to know where they're located.

I would not be surprised to learn that the designers of this garage had never driven before. The thought of 2500 cars coming and going at the same time (state government workers keep pretty consistent hours) through one means of egress is horrific.

If you're getting hired by a state agency that parks in this lot, I would strongly recommend that you request a different parking solution or asking for more money for when your car is damaged by parking here.
