SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

BACKGROUND
The exterior of the Downtown Parking Garage was designed to complement and fit with adjacent downtown building architecture and not appear like a typical parking structure.

Two new LED lighted wall signs stating "PARK" at the Estudillo Avenue and the Callan Avenue entrances and one new LED lighted edge sign stating "ENTRY" at the Callan Avenue entrance were installed.
