New SF Parking Garage Puts Cars Into Puzzle

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) ― Parking in San Francisco is tough enough. But the operators of the Symphony Towers on Van Ness Avenue are using a relatively new technology called "puzzle parking" to increase the available number of spaces.

A special elevator stacks cars, helping the garage offer 90 spaces in a garage that would ordinarily offer 30. A driver enters their car into a special elevator that will slide their car into an empty space. Retrieving the car takes 60 seconds or less. Only six garages in the entire U.S. offer "puzzle parking."

Our video report has more.
