Campus Enhancement

AUGUST 21, 2025 UPDATE

IMPORTANT PARKING UPDATE

Part of our original vision for Campus Enhancements included the goal of "Improving campus safety and creating a more pedestrian centric campus for downtown integration." To achieve this goal, the plan called for a design that eliminated vehicle through-traffic between Cherry and Marshall Streets and, improved sidewalks and lighting on the central part of our campus. This part of the project is about 80% complete! What we formerly referred to as the Employee Parking Lot and "the lot between Buildings B and C" are expected to be reopened by Sunday, August 24 as the Cherry Street and Marshall Street Parking Lots!
 
The Cherry and Marshall Street lots are diagrammed below and important points include:

• The Cherry Street Lot includes 28 spaces including 8 designated as ADA/Handicap Parking.
• The Marshall Street Lot includes 16 spaces including 3 designated as ADA/Handicap Parking with 2 additional ADA spaces opening after construction is completed.
• Both lots are "one-way" traffic lots with designated Enter and Exit only lanes off of Cherry and Marshall Streets respectively. From each street, you will drive past the exit to access the entrance.
• Both lots have a new "drop off" zone. Vehicles should not be left unattended in these areas.
• It is no longer possible to traverse between Cherry and Marshall Streets using the church parking lots. As noted above, this was a critical part of the plan to improve pedestrian safety.

Given close proximity to all three buildings, consideration should be given to reserving all parking in these two lots to our church members and guests with mobility challenges. Our Main Parking Lot off of 2nd Street, the Cherry Street parking deck, and on-street parking continue to provide convenient parking options for all of our church members and guests.
