Street Parking Near 305 East 3rd Street
The station address is 305 East 3rd Street in Charlotte, United States. The published authority information identifies CATS park-and-ride locations and their free parking, but it does not provide street-parking restrictions, time limits, resident zones, or enforcement details for the blocks around this station.
Drivers using on-street spaces therefore have the station address as the location reference, while the authority material specifically describes parking at designated park-and-ride locations rather than downtown curb spaces (charlottenc.gov). The station's elevated dual side platforms are part of the Lynx Blue Line (Wikipedia), so curb parking around the stop serves access to the rail platforms rather than a separate station parking facility.
