6 FINDINGS 1.0. SITE A. Pavement – Vehicular The library has limited access to public/staff parking due to the limitations of the site’s property lines. While there is a large municipal to the north, where library patrons frequently park, there is no shared formal parking agreement with the city formalizing this ad hoc arrangement. The team was made aware that there was a prior shared parking agreement with the Board of Education to the south, however this agreement is no longer in effect. The public parking area is located near the main entrance and features several handicappedaccessible spots, though there are no curb cuts in front of these spots to aide access, so wheelchair bound patrons are forced to negotiate their way through the drive lane to make their way to the curb cut near the main entry. The pavement is deteriorated in some spots and shows evidence of prior patches/work. Remnants of old striping remain, especially in the handicap spots, which may cause confusion. The staff parking area is located south of the drive-up book drop-off loop. This lot is in better condition than the public area with little signs of patches/work. Curbs along both lots and drive aisles are deteriorated in some locations and in need of replacement. Potholes located on the access drive from the city’s parking lot could cause damage to library and patron vehicles.
