| Question about Parking False Creek Vancouver, Lot 15 - 595 West 6th Ave (Easypark)
http://easypark.ca/easypark-lots/loc...&lat=49.266684
I was wondering if anyone here parks in this lot or in the nearby vicinity, because I want to know if it's safe or not. I'm moving to a new job soon and I need to find monthly parking and this is the only place I could find nearest to the office. It's an open lot without an attendant and I'm a bit worried about how secure it is... the last open lot I parked at was an unsecured Impark lot and they weren't just breaking into cars, but stealing the entire car itself

Hmmm
Honestly parking anywhere in Van is somewhat insecure, I guess the safest thing you can do is invest in a wheel club, and don't leave anything sitting around on your seat or your dash.
Also I guess it depends if that lot is usually full, 50% or empty when your in it.

this particular lot is hourly/daily/monthly altogether with no reserved spaces. it gets pretty full in the afternoon. i'm not familiar with the area but i may be under the false assumption that because it's near false creek and next to the canada line stop that it may be a relatively safe location.

I think you answered yourself
Its downtown open and unattended. Time to upgrade your security tactics.

egh. oh well. i figured with the VPD cop shop just down the block at the foot of the cambie st. bridge and some of their staff also using that lot, i thought it might be considered relatively secure
