Recently we received a neighbor’s complaint about parking near IMC. In addition, a person from the Abigail senior living facility across the street interrupted a Dharma talk to announce that people attending IMC were using their private parking lot. We are eager to be good neighbors. We also realize that if we cannot reduce our parking impact we will need to reduce the number and scheduling of our programs.
Therefore, we ask that people attending IMC events do not park on the 100 block of Birch Street, i.e. the block IMC is on that is a one-way street. The exception is for people who are not able to walk more than a short distance.
It is also important that you not park in the Abigail parking lot across the street from IMC; your car may get towed.
Abundant street parking is found within a 3-minute walk of IMC. These can be found on El Camino, Brewster, Broadway and Hopkins near the intersection with Fulton. Parking further from IMC will not only help our neighbors, it will also provide more accessible parking for people for whom walking is a challenge.
Everyone’s help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Gil
