Please know that our Main Lot closes each day as we reach full capacity. Those next in line to enter the Main Lot for curbside pickup are those vehicles waiting at the curb on Maude Ave. between Patton Ave. and Kennicott Ave. Please do not cut in front of any of those vehicles...they have been waiting patiently for direction from a Traffic Team Volunteer to move forward. Please follow in behind the LAST car in the line!! If there is no room at this curb when you turn onto Maude Ave, please circle back around. Thank you for your cooperation!
