Take the stairs if you want. Takes a grand total of three minutes, unless you're some slow ass old man. Know exactly where the shop you want to go and get out ASAP. Scan ticket at one of the scanning devices next to the elevator. That way, you just take the express gates. Don't even have to scan, it detects your ticket somehow and you're out of there. I love one way streets.
EDIT: I went to the elevators further down today(Friday). The ones that have no floor buttons on the inside ('cause you chose your floor beforehand). There are no ticket scanners there, so I had to go to the booth with an attendant. Got through with no issues. Attendant was about to hand me the cc reader, then realized, no charge.

For years, that was a free parking spot I'd use on weekends. Never weekdays or during rush hours though. I guess someone finally narc'd or bylaw noticed.

NVM, just checked it again........ prices look updated now. Fokkers!
$5.00 for 30 minutes is actually not bad for the area.

It's a bit of a trek to PC, but if you park under the courts, it's $3/h on the weekends iirc. I haven't been in a LONG time so I don't know if it's still that cheap. It's usually not busy and it's a best kept secret thing. If you drive all the way into the end of the parking lot, you come out of the UBC area/church thing behind the art gallery, out a side door.

My go-to parking lot as well, courtesy of A-RTD LOL.
My only concern about that lot is that it can be a bit sketchy - in the times that I've parked there, so I wouldn't park there for long.
If $5/30mins is cheap, I paid $25 to park at AWS, The Post for 12 hours LOL. It feels a lot safer for break-ins etc.

I could have gone to the food truck thing at the courthouse area this past weekend.
