This includes, but is not limited to, handicap parking without a permit, parking on curbs and against the eastern parking lot border.  Please avoid receiving a citation by only parking in designated parking stalls. The projected end date for the limited use of the parking lot is May 5, 2017.  Thank you again for your patience during this time.
