Default Re: Woodward Dream Cruise - August 16, 2008 - Detroit, MI

Parking spots/lots at the Cruise have to be reserved ahead of time. Currently we have a “two location” solution that would allow up to 80 cars to be parked.
Lot #1- 13 Mile Road and Woodward. Large lot with the Chrysler exhibit, a local popular radio station and the Grand Nationals (small gas race cars). The new Dream Cruise Committee is planning different events for the lot this year as well.
A very busy, high volume action/ people, location.
Limit 30 spaces, Cost per space $25
Lot #2- The Zion Church lot (last year’s location). Church members are there to watch the lot and cars, we also get use of their bathroom. Located just south of 9 Mile Road.
Relaxed lot no people walking through looking at cars about ¼ block off of Woodward.
Limit 50 spaces, Cost per space last year $10, this year they would like us to reserve the whole lot, but may do per space deal again.
At either location you will see cars and people. The Church lot is farther from the restaurants and less intense. The 13 Mile lot is closer to the restaurants and has 10,000 to 30,000 people through there by the end of the day. Neither lot is close to the hotel. Further road and driving info is at:

Both lot owners require payment for parking spaces before the event with some willingness to be flexible. My best guess is to expect 40 members and try to get a per space price from the Church. There are 26 cars/members that have confirmed attendance at the time of this post. If any one can come up with a better way to work this out please have at it.
If you are on the list as attending (or want to) but have not responded to Valk/Gary or booked a room do so ASAP. The lot owners need an answer soon. The decision will be made based on the number of members who have confirmed their attendance by June 1

"X" in the box for your answer

I would like to:

[ ] Have all the members at the Church lot together

[ ] Split the members between the two lots, (pick your choice):
....I’d like to park at ___ 13/WW
....I'd like to park at ___Church lot

[ ] If 30 or less members choose the 13/WW lot only

[ ] If 30 or less members choose the Church lot only
