Anchorage's downtown parking authority has banned smoking, including e-cigarettes and vaping, in its four parking garages located in downtown Anchorage.

EasyPark has created designated smoking areas at three of the parking garages, and installed no-smoking signs throughout the facilities.

EasyPark's four garages are located at 7th Ave. and G Street, 6th Ave. and H Street, the JCPenney garage at 6th and E Street, and 5th Ave. and B Street.

The JCPenney garage, and the two EasyPark garages located at 5th and B and 6th and H will have designated smoking areas.
