Parking

In general parking will be limited as noted following so please plan a little extra time.

At BTSD: Limited spaces will be available due to the group photo. Parking will be available in the neighborhood and at the businesses west of the temple (Carpet Cushion, Lutz Tires, United Fasteners and American Backflow) and the ARC lot one block east of the temple on Market Street (next to the gas station). We believe the ARC lot will be open by 9 a.m. Attendees of the naming ceremony will need to use resources other than the ARC lot.

Passenger Dropoff: For the day’s event at the pedestrian gate facing Market Street (Look for the red sign).
