Parking
Unity Church maintains an off-street parking lot one block east and one block south of the church on the corner of Saint Albans and Portland Avenue. On Sundays, the parking lot north of Obama Elementary School is also available. Accessible parking in available in the lot immediately east of the church on Holly Avenue.
The City of St Paul’s parking rules say that “Parking is prohibited within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection.” If you park too close to the corner, you may get a ticket!
Please DO NOT park in the River of Life parking lot located on the southeast corner of Portland and Grotto.
Winter Parking
Unity Church has a commitment to accessibility which includes parking near the church for members and friends who have mobility issues. Therefore, each Sunday, the entire parking lot located directly east of the church is now reserved for handicapped parking, assisted parking, and electric vehicle charging. While the entire lot is restricted parking on Sundays only, please continue to observe and respect posted parking signs during the week.
In the event St. Paul declares a Snow Emergency on a Sunday, we will send a congregational email and post signs reminding you of where you can and cannot park. We encourage you to park in our lot at Portland and St. Albans, or behind Obama School so that you won’t be ticketed and so the streets can be cleared.
