Attention: Location Teams,
Re: Memorandum - 700 Carrall Street (Viaduct Lot)
The City of Vancouver is entering into a pilot project with Easy Park to rent out our lot at 700 Carrall Street (the “Viaduct Lot”) when it is not in use by film crews. The intent of this pilot project is to generate some additional revenue from the lot as well as to increase the level of security on site (Easy Park will regularly patrol the lot and ensure it is locked after hours). This memo include some important information for film crews regarding the use of the lot moving forward:
Easy Park will be responsible for ensuring that any proactive enforcement on the lot is suspended and that all pay station pay options are turned off within the lot during the dates/times you have the lot booked. Easy Park will also program the pay station to read “Parking Lot Closed”.
Film productions may, at their own expense, erect signage advising lot users to the closure in advance if so desired, however this is not required. All signage must be removed once lot is vacated.
There is a lock with a numerical code on it at the Viaduct Lot. The code to open this will be provided to you by your film officer. Film productions will be responsible for securing the lock when the location is not in use (example overnight) or when your booking is complete.
Easy Park has the authority to enforce parking restrictions on pay lots they manage. They will instruct their teams not to enforce on days when filming is booked, however they will respond if enforcement is needed. For example, if your film production a film arrives and finds unauthorised vehicles in the lot. For enforcement you can call 604-682-0555 (24 hours) or email enfops@easypark.ca. Please reference Easy Park Lot #152 to describe the location.
If you have any questions about the use of the viaduct lot please contact me directly or the FASE officer working your file.
Sincerely,
Jodie Shebib
Operations Manager, Film and Special Events
