UPDATE JUNE 18, 2026:

Free parking is moving from N 9th Ave to the southwest corner of the Franklin Lot, which is located east of our building at 101 W 6th St.

New free parking in southwest corner of Franklin Lot

There is now free parking in the corner of the Franklin Docks parking lot east of the warehouse (see picture, below). This is a temporary location the city is giving to us due to the upcoming closure of N 9th Ave.

Parking in southwest corner of Franklin Lot anytime, parking on N 9th Ave sometimes

Take a look at the map for the most up to date parking options and nearby road closures. The options out front remain basically the same (i.e. you can park in the southwest corner of the Franklin Lot anytime and on N 9th Ave outside of construction hours). 

Wheelchair ramp is inaccessible

9th Ave is being torn up. The corridor of chain link fence leading to the ramp has been removed. We currently have no wheelchair access out front of the warehouse. 

Two pedestrian crossing areas for Franklin Lot parking

Note on the map that there are two pedestrian crossing areas you can use when leaving or returning to your parked car. Both exits are on the west side of the Franklin Lot (through the chain link fence) on the north and south ends. 

Take special care when using the north pedestrian crossing because there is a lot of construction activity in this area right now.

We recommend when crossing 9th Ave that you stick to the pedestrian crossing areas and quickly walk directly to the other side. Be mindful of uneven land, holes, and construction equipment.

If N 9th Ave is full, you may park in the dirt lot west of the Steinfeld Warehouse, on the other side of N Perry Ave.

• Parking at The Franklin Docks is not free. Before 5pm on weekdays, it is permit parking only. After 5pm and all-day on the weekends, a $3 parking fee is required. For more information about paid parking at the Franklin Docks, click here. Changes have been made to the chain link fence surrounding the area to make it possible to park in the Franklin lot and walk directly to our building.
• The gated parking lot directly south of the Steinfeld Warehouse is restricted. Unauthorized vehicles may be locked-in and towed away at the owner's expense! Consult the map below.

There is HEAVY road construction around us on all sides. Click here for more information and traffic maps.

There are several areas close to Xerocraft you can attempt to park in for free. But if you park here, we recommend you keep it brief.

1. Parking in the dirt lot west of Perry Ave. The dirt lot is not owned by us and is an active construction area. Construction vehicles and heavy materials move through there often. Park there at your own risk.
2. The back yard of the Steinfeld Warehouse. This area can fit 4 to 6 cars at a time. But you may be asked to move by other people using the area. The back yard is only accessible by turning north onto Perry Ave from N Church Ave. The back yard gate may be locked depending on when you arrive. If you can't find anyone who knows the lock combination, you will not be able to park there.

There's free parking in Dunbar Spring, the neighborhood directly north of our building, on the north side of the railroad tracks. With the pedestrian walkway over the train tracks almost finished, it's never been faster to park there and get to Xerocraft. If you're bringing items with you, you may want to stop at Xerocraft first to unload, then go park in Dunbar and walk back.
