Best Parking Choices During Iditarod - March 1, 2010

In preparation for the 2010 Iditarod Sled Dog Race, the Municipality of Anchorage will be closing off several downtown streets for event set-up.  All closures will take place beginning Friday, March 5th at 5:00 pm through Saturday, March 6th at approximately 7:00 pm.  Parkers should expect unavailable on-street parking on 4th Avenue from I Street - Cordova.  Please carefully review the map and list of prohibited parking areas.

All off-street parking locations, managed by the Anchorage Community Development Authority are available for parking.  The 5th Avenue Garage, located on the corner of 5th & B Street, is a prime destination to view the races that commence on March 6th at 10 am.  Another prime location are the parking lots located on 3rd Avenue from A Street to E Street, which are in close proximity to the Fur Rondy Carnival.

As a reminder, Anchorage Police Department officers will be on traffic control detail and will be able to assist drivers with directional instructions.
