What else: If you work downtown, this is easily accessible via the Metromover or foot (the ongoing construction on Flagler is moving westward). Otherwise, take the Metrorail to Government Center and walk a few blocks. Don’t bother driving – parking is hard to find and expensive. This is your opportunity to use our mass transit!
