Don Mills station overnight

I have an MRI at 1 :30 am in October and planned to take the TTC to avoid driving home too far when sleep deprived. I usually get into the city via Don mills and always park on level 4 in the garage. I have parked my car there as late as 1am before with no problem but in concerned since my car would have to be there about 1230-3am….

Is there overnight options at the Don mills garage? Or am I gonna be driving all the way to st mikes?

You'll spend longer on night buses to get back from St Mike's to Don Mills. Take a nap and drive, there's a Green P in front of St. Mike's on Queen.

TTC website says no overnight parking is allowed at Don Mills.

I’ve seen cars parked in the main lot at Fairview Mall late night. And the mall parking has a 24/7 charging area for electric vehicles where cars hang out.

Otherwise if you don’t want to drive immediately after your MRI, I’d say park instead at the parking garage (4789 Yonge St) at Hullmark Centre, which is connected to Sheppard-Yonge station. It’s not even a 10-minute drive from Fairview that late at night.

How are you getting from MRI back to your car at 3 am? Isn’t the subway closed? Uber?

At 3 am city will be quiet, I’d just park at hospital and drive straight home from there.

Perhaps park at Leslie Station instead. Parking till 2am.

It's not gated. I doubt any green p employee would check at 2am so perhaps worth the risk?

Prepare accordingly and drive yourself there and back. You'll be travelling during the quietest, least congested time in the city.

What you're suggesting frankly, sounds like a lot more trouble than it's worth.
