The decal would be placed on the front windshield of member's cars for easy identification. The next challenge the task force addressed was redesigning the parking lots. We needed a design that would give us the option of closing the lots completely at specific times. As a landscape architect, task force member Parks McLeod, set about determining how to reduce access to the lots. We studied the traffic patterns and we knew which entrances and exits the members used most frequently.
Removable chains can link together the cast-iron posts.
Inside both parking lots, McLeod installed landscaped islands creating a racetrack effect which helps direct traffic. Some parking spaces were eliminated in both the back and front lots. We wanted to make sure our neighbors had easy access without having to step over curbs or landscaping. While the parking lots were undergoing renovation, the task force realized that the lots would require at least one attendant. Arseneaux also saw the need for someone to act as liaison with the arena, keeping track of what types of events were scheduled and when.
