PARKING INFORMATION

In addition to LIMN's 30 parking spots, on-street parking after 6pm is readily available (there is a lot of street parking right along side the Caltrain station).

Parking is also available in the brand new tower building right across the street on Townsend at 4th Street.


CALTRAIN

For those of you coming from the Peninsula, Caltrain may be a good option. The station is located across the intersection from Limn.
