Staff Comments
The large parking lot sign states "Public Parking". This could be confusing for customers thinking it is a lot owned by the City or County, which in most cases offer free parking on nights and weekends. The city will be installing new public parking signs as part of the wayfinding program and these will have the large letter "P" with the word "PUBLIC" (see attached examples). This signage will be installed on the adjacent public parking under James White Parkway/Hall of Fame Blvd. The proposed sign will have a different design than the wayfinding signage but it can still be confusing. Most other private parking lots simply say "Parking", or another option could be "Open to the public".
