It has come to my attention that our parking policy needs to be reviewed.  Our neighbors have been very supportive of our business zoning in their residential neighborhood and the inconveniences associated with a small business on their quiet street.  Therefore, it is my work to communicate our parking policy and to ask everyone to police themselves in following it EVERY time they are parking. 

I fully understand that parking can be frustrating, especially when families are busy and need to move on to their next event in the evening.  However, this is our parking situation and when everyone is on board, it runs pretty smoothly, despite the occasional inconveniences.

The most difficult time is between 5:00-5:30 when the majority of our families arrive simultaneously.  Please consider, if your schedule allows, a slightly earlier pick up if parking in the church lot is frustrating to you when the on street parking is full. 

ON THURSDAY, FOR OUR WF PROGRAM AT 4:00, ALL FAMILIES WILL NEED TO PARK AT THE CHURCH LOT. 

I am sending home this diagram and the policy to each family.  PLEASE SIGN THE PARKING POLICY AND RETURN IT TO WF.  Thanks!

PARKING POLICY FOR WF/WWF FAMILIES

Families dropping off or picking up children may use on street parking ONLY for a maximum of 10 minutes at each time.

If you would like to enjoy time in the WF/WWF past 10 minutes you must park:

• In the one spot in the WF alley driveway
• In the Evangelical Lutheran Church parking lot (3 houses down from WWF).
• In the WWF East parking pad (behind the playground, works best in summer when we are outdoors)

Our families MUST park courteously to our neighbors.  This means:

• FOLLOWING THE PARKING DIAGRAM, PARK EAST SIDE ONLY
• Use only the 4 on street spots in front of our house
• And, the 4 on street parking places in front of Tim and Vera’s houses (just north of alley). If you see them, thank them for being so flexible with us!
• DO NOT BLOCK THE ALLEY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
• If you are picking up between 5:00-5:30.  Plan on a very quick p/u or park off street.  This is the time of the day that it gets very congested. Consider coming earlier, at a time that isn’t so busy, if you would like to park more easily.
• PARK CONSIDERATELY AND STRATEGICALLY TO MAXIMIZE THE 8 SPOTS WE HAVE.
• Everyone needs to be pulled the right direction on the road.
