Metro garage to open at Minnesota Ave. station

A new parking garage is scheduled to open at 5 a.m. Monday at the Minnesota Avenue station on Metro's Orange Line. The four-level, $16 million structure will hold 333 vehicles and replaces a surface parking lot with the same number of spaces, according to Metro.

Spaces in the garage, built by the District, are closer to the station entrance via a sidewalk, according to Metro. Construction of the garage began in January 2006.
