LIFE SAFETY - Separation of parking lot areas between the Family Service Center and Aldrich Arena. Over the last 4 years we've had three traffic accidents at the Family Service Center (FSC) where drivers, learning how to drive in the Aldrich Arena parking lot, have entered the FSC property and collided with the building or nearby light poles. All three accidents occurred under dry pavement conditions, during daylight hours, and with caution signage present. In July of 2022 a driver jumped the sidewalk curb near the building's main entrance, collided with the building, and punched a large hole completely thru the building's exterior brick wall. Another accident occurred in October of 2022 where a new driver ran over and destroyed a parking lot light pole within feet of FSC clients standing outside. The danger from these new drivers is disproportionately imposed upon FSC clients because they have nowhere else to reside. Separating the FSC and Aldrich Arena parking lots would prevent new drivers from further damaging our facilities and perhaps save someone from serious injury or death. This project support Residents First as well, as residents are housed in the facility and their safety is our responsibility.
