Additional Entryway Possibilities
• White pavement strip by each STOP sign – APPROVED
• *Modification of right exit gate to improve its fully-open angle, thus encouraging vehicles not to cross over the double yellow center lines
• *Modify the curb/sidewalk across from the entry booth so misdirected vehicles that need to make a U-turn can avoid running up on the sidewalk
*Observations from the front entry signage study but neither concluded as necessary at this time, pending six-month assessment of current enhancements, nor budgeted by the Board
