Naming the Parking lots
To bring awareness to the all day parking Downtown Laramie Main Street recruited the community’s help to pick animal names for the parking lots. These five distinct parking lots, the Moose lot on 4th and University, the Bison lot on 1st and University, the Trout lot on 1st and Garfield, the Sage-Grouse lot on 2nd and Custer, and the Jackalope Lot at offer a combined total of 256 parking spots to serve the community's needs. So come by and try parking in one of the animal lots!
