Yorkville Village parking - Lot #452

Absolutely terrible parking lot, zero thought and consideration in designing the layout. The gates are unbelievably bottlenecked and one of maybe four of the gates gets used 90% more than the other.I came here to park for less than 10 minutes so I can pick up a jacket from Yorkville Village, TNT right before them closing. I took a ticket on the way in and the machine rejects my legit parking ticket because I guess my visit was 'too short' that they think I went outside and pushed the machine for the new ticket...I try 3/4 different methods of payment because the machine says 'card not accepted' and I only realized when someone came to help that they were referring to my parking card that was also rejected for 'ANTI PASS BACK'. All this is happening while an impatient man in a Porsche Cayenne is yelling at me so I'm forced to reverse and 10 point turn drive to a gate that's dead.I press the HELP button and luckily the lady that came was super helpful and kind whose never seen this before tells me it's impossible to leave without your original card.A reminder why I should exclusively park at Green P's in Toronto.BTW, they don't even have pay stations which I tried looking for and you're forced to pay on the way out.

All automated. No pay stations. Awesome

downtown parking aint cheap but its convenient
