Street Parking and Neighborhood Rules Near 2200 Pierce Avenue
The hospital is at 2200 Pierce Avenue in Nashville, near Music Row. The surrounding medical-center streets serve hospital, university and visitor traffic, so a curb space is not a dependable substitute for the hospital garage when an appointment has a fixed arrival time.
Drivers leaving a vehicle on the street should follow the posted curb signs and any marked restrictions at the space, particularly around entrances, loading areas and accessible bays. Do not use a valet lane, emergency access point or crosshatched access area for general parking. The larger accessible spaces at South Garage include crosshatched areas for maneuvering room (news.vumc.org), making the garage a better choice than attempting to find a curbside space close to the entrance.
