High Holy Day Parking
 

  • Please park in designated spaces only. Do not park along fire lanes as this restricts traffic flow in the parking lot. If you park in the adjoining neighborhoods, the residents have made the following requests:

  • Allow enough room for residents to get in and out of driveways easily.

  • Be careful to park at the curb, not on the grass. Sprinkler heads can be damaged if run over by tires.

  • Do not park in front of group mailboxes. The Postal Service will not deliver the mail if they cannot drive up to the box.

  • Handicapped Parking: Handicapped parking spaces are limited. We have designated additional handicapped spaces but we cannot guarantee that everyone with a sticker will have a space available
    to them.

  • Drop-Off: Drop off for family and friends will be allowed in the circle in front of the building.
    Please follow traffic patterns as directed by security.
