- The attached photograph shows the current proposal and in the near future you may begin to see cones and pavement marks to allow for an evaluation of the plan. Once the cones or markings appear, please follow the plan and feel free to offer feedback.The yellow area is for pedestrian traffic and the blue areas are the two van / handicap accessible reserved spots.The diagonal lines represent the angel parking for all other vehicles. The center lane is for pass through traffic and entering / exiting vehicles.
  You’ll note there is no area for vehicles with trailers in the parking lot, but we have plenty of curbline for longer vehicles.
