OK, I was reading that there are 76 short-term metered spaces. IDK how many other open spaces there are.

If you're driving from Redland Rd heading from North to South. Where do you exactly turn to get into the multi-level parking garage?

It's hard to tell which street to turn from Redland to get into the garage.

You can't get to them from Redland Rd. From the North, you use 370 to get to the garages. If you're on Redland, you have to turn at the light just west (or south?) of the intersection of Crabb's Branch Way and Redland. You take it to the Shady Grove Rd exit, turn left, and then left again back on to 370 to wards the Metro station to get to the garages.

Edit: I see a possible entrance that I have never used that you can possibly turn left to get into one of the garages. I don't go that way anymore, so I'm not sure if you can take it. It's just before the place where only buses can turn left to enter the bus stop area on that side.

OK, it appears to be legal to turn left from Redland Road into parking lot. See the car in the attached photo. But, that appears to get you only into the south garage. The north garage is only accessible from I-370.

No, the car in the attached photo is not going into the garage. The section is all exit and no entrance. The only way to garage is through I-370.

They need to modify that road to include an entrance.

Right. That picture is not the entrance I was thinking of in the edit. If you turned in there and drove a little ways up, there is a left turn for buses only. A look at Google maps made me wonder if there is an entry to the parking lot just before that point. I don't think that it's allowed, but the satellite view has me wondering. I will check next time I go that way unless someone here knows for sure.

I know!

I drove there several times. There is no entrance at all for a left turn into the parking lot or parking garage.

Thank you for confirming what I thought, though I don't get why you used the . Was there a fly buzzing around your head?
