IF YOU GO

BART: Parking is tough here, so the easiest transportation option is to take BART, exit at the Lake Merritt station and walk a few blocks. Parking: If you do drive, try to park in the public garage under the Pacific Renaissance Plaza. The entrance is at 10th and Webster streets. Be advised: There is construction going on all over the downtown area, so some roads may have detours. In Chinatown, there are always trucks and cars double-parked, loading and unloading merchandise. And keep an eye out for the “scramble” crosswalks where pedestrians are allowed to crisscross intersections.
