Visitor & Driver Tips

When approaching via Eagle Rock Avenue during peak morning (7:30 AM – 9:00 AM) or evening (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM) commute hours, watch for turning traffic into adjacent commercial plazas. If you are driving an oversized vehicle, extended pickup, or van, choose stalls toward the outer edges or back rows of the lot where turning radiuses and door clearance are most generous. Always make sure to observe posted private parking regulations, business-hours signage, or permit-designated zones to avoid ticketing or towing.
