Where to park near the Bodhi Tree Bookstore
WHERE TO PARK NEAR THE BODHI TREE BOOKSTORE:
Dear Friends of the Bodhi Tree,
New! --
Two developments have reduced the travail of finding a parking place near the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in West Hollywood.
One of the most common problems of life in Los Angeles is finding a parking space. Here's a guide that we hope will make it easier for you to park and help you avoid getting a parking ticket when visiting the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in West Hollywood. Park cautiously and feel free to ask us where and when you may park.
The City of West Hollywood, the Urth Caffé, the Bodhi Tree Bookstore and other local merchants have started a community valet parking program.
The pick-up area is in front of the Bodhi Tree Annex building at 8583 Melrose Avenue.
The cost is $3.50 and it is in operation from
11 am to 10 pm.
Consider using valet parking the next time you want to visit not only the Bodhi Tree Bookstore but also Elixir across the street to get some herbs, followed by a visit to Aunt Vi's Garden for some healing oils and then to Soolip for some beautiful paper. Finally, before heading home, you get a great "caffé" at Urth. Through valet parking, you may "forget" about your car for long time.
WHERE YOU CAN ALWAYS PARK:
|
The Bodhi Tree has three off-street parking spaces near the front of the Used Book Branch on Westbourne Drive.
Parking Meters: You may park anytime wherever there is a parking meter (this includes Melrose Ave. and on side streets as well). You must pay the meter from 8:00 am-6:00 pm. The maximum time allowed is two hours. Meters only take quarters: 25 cents for 20 minutes. The meters are free after 6:00 pm and all day on Sundays. Forty-one metered spaces (angled parking) are available on Melrose Avenue west of the Bodhi Tree (in front of, and further west of, the Pacific Design Center). |
WHERE YOU CAN PARK MOST OF THE TIME:
| The side streets south of Melrose-west side: Two-hour free parking is available south of Melrose on the west side of the side streets (towards the Beverly Center) Monday through Saturday from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. There is no parking in this area after 7:00 pm. every night and all day on Sundays. |
| The Pacific Design Center: The nearest parking lot is at the Pacific Design Center at the corner of Melrose Ave. and San Vicente Blvd., just 1-1/2 blocks west of the Bodhi Tree. The designated entrance on weekends and evenings is on San Vicente Blvd., across from the park. The lot hours and fees are as follows: |
| Monday-Friday | 6:00 am - 5:00 pm |
First 1/2 hour - Free
$1.00 each 1/2 hour |
|
| Saturday | 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm | Flat rate $5.00 | |
| 6:00 am - 6:00 pm | Free Parking | ||
| Sunday | 6:00 pm - 1:00 am | Flat rate $5.00 | |
| 6:00 am-10:00 pm | Free Parking |
WHERE YOU CAN NEVER PARK:
| The side streets north of Melrose: No parking is allowed at any time in the area north of Melrose (towards Santa Monica Blvd.), except at any parking meter. |
| The side streets south of Melrose-east side: The area south of Melrose is a different permit area with different rules. There is no parking at any time on the east side of the street. Parking is allowed at times on the west side of the street (see WHERE YOU CAN PARK MOST OF THE TIME). |
Please don't be discouraged-there's usually enough parking available most of the time in the areas listed above.
| The Bodhi Tree Bookstore provides handicap parking in a rear, employee parking area. Access is from Westbourne Avenue. Drive up the driveway between the New Book and Used Book Branch buildings. A Bodhi Tree Staff person will open the access gate. |
