Parking and Directions

DSC_1871We are located at 214 East Franklin Street, Richmond, VA  23219

 

Parking-

Parking is available on-street only in the loading-zone parking space in front of the store.

Please note that the parking lot next door is monthly rented spaces and patrolled by a tow company. We advise only parking on the street.

As you may have noticed, the city has installed a two-way bike lane on the North side of E. Franklin Street between Belvidere and Ninth. In an effort to address the customer questions and concerns that have already arisen, the following are some basic instructions for parking while dropping off or picking up rugs at Christian Lorraine Oriental Rugs:

On Franklin, there will be the usual prohibition on parking prior to 9 a.m. After that time, motorists may park in the lane to the right of the bicycle lanes next to the white-striped buffer lane and flexible posts in what is now termed “floating parking”. This floating parking lane will be closed to traffic for the bulk of the day effectively making Franklin a one-lane thoroughfare during that time. We are also recommending that customers use their hazard lights while parking, especially until regular traffic becomes accustomed to the new flow of traffic on Franklin Street. 

Please do not pull between the flexible posts or park in the bike lane, you will be ticketed.

Customers of Christian Lorraine may continue to park for free in the floating parking loading zone as indicated by city signage. Curbside pay-to-park stations have been installed in other areas and parking fees will apply.

Please contact us with any questions prior to your arrival. 804-344-0081
