Branch Ave. Metro Parking

[softtouch]

I am still vacillating between Metro and parking downtown.
Maybe I'll drive by the Metro station and if it looks impossible I'll drive downtown with a roll of quarters.

You will not be able to park on the Ellipse, access to it is controlled since 9/11. You will however probably be able to park on Constitution Avenue or a side street at that time of the morning since the rush hour restrictions are lifted at 9:30 am. You will be best to park on Constitution Avenue however since there are no meters and in turn no 2 hour time limit (technically). Just make sure you leave early as traffic can make it hard getting into the city at that time of day.

Do you have to be an early bird to park at the Branch Ave. Station?
My downtown knowledge is dated. Years ago you could park on the Ellipse.
Still doable?

yeah between 630 and 700
