Downtown Grand Junction

Before You Walk

Parking

Downtown is laid out in hundred-blocks and walked end to end in about fifteen minutes, so where you leave the car matters less here than in most places.

What the Record Shows

The arrival sequence the record establishes: a garage, an alley with work hanging in it, then Main Street. No distance, direction or entrance is recorded.The garageLocation not in the recordThe alleyWork hangs hereMain StreetThe walk starts
The walk in from the garage, in the order the record gives it. No distance, direction or entrance appears in the capture, so none is drawn. The alley is on it because an artist interviewed by the Creative District has work hanging there, which makes the way in part of the exhibit rather than a service corridor.

What Is Missing, and Why

Three of eight things a parking page needs are in the archived record; five are not.A parking garage existsAn alley connects it to Main, and carries hung workFree parking is plentiful (a visitor’s impression, not a rule)Garage locationsHoursRatesPermit rulesWhat changes on an event day
Filled is in the archived capture. Hollow is not, and is not guessed at. In production each hollow row is one question to the DDA.

Garage locations, hours, rates, permit rules and what changes on an event day are all things this page should carry and none of them are in the archived capture this site was built from. Both downtown sites refuse automated requests, so nothing further could be read without asking the DDA directly.

Inventing plausible rates would have finished the page and made it dangerous. It is left honest instead, and the same rule holds everywhere else here: if the record does not say it, the page does not either.

Getting Here How This Site Handles Gaps

Where this comes from: an artist profile on gjcreates.org and a press release on downtowngj.org. The absence of everything else is recorded on the Sources page rather than papered over here. All sources
