Lightbulb Some parking thoughts

I wonder if the No Stopping restrictions at the western end of Ross Smith Drive could be reconsidered? I know Carbridge transporters need some reserved space but a one hour limit for other parking would allow enough time for casual visitors to enjoy the Mound.

Thanks Craig, it was a bit of an historic event, especially naming it after Shep, and having members of his family present. The video is edited down slightly, but I thinks it still portrays the sentiment of the occasion.

Unhappy Four car spaces lost

They have been commandeered for use as a turnaround space and are now "No Stopping" zones

The No-Standing signs were always coming, though were delayed.

The space is "meant to be" a turn around area only.

Cheers.
