Directions: Set your GPS to 300 Capitol Avenue. That is the address of the Legislative Office Building (LOB). As you come to the intersection of 300 Capitol Avenue and Hungerford Street make a right onto Hungerford Street and wrap around the building until you see the entrance to the parking garage. Park wherever you find a spot. If no spots are available, which happens periodically, you’ll be directed to a couple of nearby parking lots.
Come into the building through the front doors on Hungerford Street and come through security. Restrooms and the cafeteria are on the first floor if you’d like something to eat or drink. There is also a smaller satellite cafeteria in the 3rd floor atrium.
If you are unable to attend, but would like to discuss the issue of tolls with me, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am happy to help in any way possible.
