SE 2 nd Avenue Valet Queue Existing Proposed
SE 2 nd Avenue Valet Queue Recommendations: Shift queue further south to second 2 space grouping Remove landscape node creating a five, (5) space continuous queue, while creating one, (1), new space for use by the general public off hours of valet activity Fund removal of the landscape node with additional income derived from the three, (3), additional queuing spaces to be leased. Reconsider creating the separation of incoming and outgoing vehicles, perhaps maintaining the two (2), original spaces for customer pick up only. It is noted the first intermittent landscape node would remain intact. Study alternative means of reducing/controlling traffic in the area
