Ramp C is a municipal parking garage in downtown Minneapolis, operated by the city as part of its downtown parking system. The structure's central spiral connects its parking levels with a continuous curved roadway rather than straight ramps between floors, a common design solution for maximizing vehicle capacity on a compact urban site. Yellow curb markings delineate the traffic lane around the concrete support core. Facilities like Ramp C serve commuters, downtown employees, and visitors to nearby offices and entertainment venues in the central business district.
