Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching the lot along Haines Road, watch for oncoming traffic when executing left turns into the driveway during peak late-afternoon commute periods. For early morning visits in the winter, the lot is routinely plowed, though drivers should exercise standard caution around curb edges. If you are operating a high-profile vehicle or towing a light utility trailer, aim for the end stalls away from the main access apron to ensure simple maneuvering when departing.
