The North parking lot is often full in the evenings. As best as I can tell Taco Farm, Abe Erb, Famoso and Beertown are responsible for this. Availability of parking seems to have dropped when each of these establishments opened reaching zero availability with the Abe Erb opening.
Part of this is being in the know, which could be better communicated by the city. The Waterloo Public Library and the Marsland Center parking are both free to use after 6, and are closer to these demand-drivers for the dinner crowd than much of the north lot, and all of the south lot. They are never full at these hours.
