I don't commute to NYC every day, but go in once or twice a month. I used to be able to park behind the old Shop Right Liquor Store in South Orange for $5, but now you need a permit! I had to drive into the city yesterday because I couldn't park. Does anyone know of a legal place to park near the S.O. or Maplewood Train station? I'm happy to pay, but really need to find something. Thanks!   Wendyn Supporter Username: Wendyn Post Number: 2703 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 8, 2006 - 10:55 am:        Maplewood train station has a pay by day lot, but you have to get there early. My husband parks there sometimes to catch the 7:30ish train and doesn't have a problem finding a spot.   Pippi Supporter Username: Pippi Post Number: 1727 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Wednesday, February 8, 2006 - 10:58 am:        There are also about 10 metered spots on the street that is next to the South Orange Library (between Vose and Scotland) They are $4 for 12 hours but probably get snatched up early.   peteglider Citizen Username: Peteglider Post Number: 1774 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 8, 2006 - 12:53 pm:        There is parking at the SO station, in the back towards Church Street (is it the yellow or the white lined spaces??) Again, this will work if you're early enough. (I believe that the permit holder spaces also open to hourly parking after 9 or 10 am or so, although they are mostly - but not always - taken by that time) Then you buy token(s) to put in the machine -- at the railroad underpass.

Check Oakview Rd or Burnett Terrace, east of Prospect St in Maplewood. Courter Ave may also be open for this.   MHD Citizen Username: Mayhewdrive Post Number: 3332 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Wednesday, February 8, 2006 - 2:00 pm:        How about driving to a Jitney stop and taking the Jitney?   algebra2 Supporter Username: Algebra2 Post Number: 3971 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Wednesday, February 8, 2006 - 2:12 pm:        What time do you go in? If it's after 9:00 you can park on Durand in Maplewood -- 3 minute walk to the train.
