Parking:

	Location		Current Signage	Comments	Proposed Sign
1	Eastside of Dolliver for Northbound Traffic	Sign points for a left turn onto Addie		Sign is located too close to the area needed to make the turn – not an effective option, unless another sign is located further south on Dolliver giving the driver earlier notice.
2	Eastside of Dolliver for Northbound Traffic	Sign points for a left turn onto Park		Sign is a small white sign and has no visual tie into all of the other parking signage in the downtown. Therefore it is very easy to miss.
3	Westside of Dolliver for Southbound Traffic	Sign points for a right turn onto Addie		No comments
4	Westside of Cypress for Westbound Traffic on Addie	Sign points to a left turn on Cypress then a right turn on Addie		No comments
5	Westside of Cypress for Southbound Traffic	Sign points to a right turn on Park		No comments
6	Westside of Cypress for Southbound Traffic	Sign points south on Cypress to Sign #5.
7	Westside of Cypress for Southbound Traffic	Sign points south on Cypress to Sign #6
8	Southside of Hinds for Eastbound Traffic	Sign points to a right turn on Cypress to Sign #7
9	Westside of Cypress for Southbound Traffic	Sign points into the Benson Parking Lot		Sign would be more effective if it also pointed south on Cypress towards the Addie Lot.
10	Northside of Pomeroy just east of Cypress for Westbound Traffic	Sign points to a left turn on Cypress and to continue west on Pomeroy to our main lot
11	Westside of Dolliver just south of Main for Southbound Traffic	Sign points to a right turn on Pomeroy and to Sign #10		Sign would be more effective if it also pointed south on Dolliver to Sign #3.
12	Westside of Dolliver just north of Main for Southbound Traffic	Sign points to a left turn on Main for the Main Street Lots and also south on Dolliver to Sign #11
13	Westside of Dolliver just south of the “Y” intersection of Price and Dolliver for Southbound Traffic	Sign points south down Dolliver to Sign #12
14	Eastside of Price between Hinds and Pomeroy for Northbound Traffic	Sign points to a left turn down Pomeroy
15	Northside of Pomeroy for Westbound Traffic	Sign points to the Pomeroy Parking Lot		Sign would be more effective if it pointed to more parking options south on Dolliver and north on Dolliver
16	Southside of Pomeroy for Eastbound Traffic	Sign points to Pomeroy Parking Lot across the street		Probably will be removed when new one-way streets are implemented on Hinds and Pomeroy.
17	Eastside of Dolliver for Northbound Traffic	Sign points to right turn on Main for Main Street Parking Lots.

Summary:
Of the seventeen signs - 8 point to the Addie Parking Lot, 2 point to the Main Street Lots. 4 point to the Pier Parking Lot, 3 point to the Pomeroy Lot and 2 point to the Benson Parking Lot.

Proposed New Parking Signs

	Location	Comments	Proposed Sign
1	Westside of Price just north of “Y” Intersection with Dolliver for Southbound Traffic.	Sign points to parking south on Dolliver and also south on Price.
2	Westside of Price between Pismo and Main for Southbound Traffic.	Sign points to parking by making a right turn on Main and also points to south on Price to new Sign “3”.
3	Westside of Price between Main and Pomeroy for Southbound Traffic	Sign points to a right turn onto Pomeroy – passing off to existing Sign #15 and new Sign #6.
4	Eastside of Price between Stimson and Hinds for Northbound Traffic.	Sign points north on Price and passes off to existing Sign #14
5	Eastside of Dolliver between Pomeroy and Main for Northbound Traffic	Sign points to a right turn on Main for the two parking lots there
6	Northside of Pomeroy just east of Dolliver for Westbound Traffic	A most important addition – this sign should point to a left turn on Pomeroy and passes off to existing Sign # 3, it should also point straight ahead westbound on Pomeroy to existing Sign #10 and last it should point to a right turn onto northbound Dolliver and pass off to new Sign #5. When the 300 block of Pomeroy is changed to a one-way street going west, a copy of this sign could also be located on the southside of Pomeroy.
7	Eastside of Dolliver between Hinds and Pomeroy for Northbound Traffic.	Sign points to a left turn onto Pomeroy and passes off to existing Sign # 10 and also points northbound on Dolliver and passes off to new Sign #5

Tourist Information:

	Location	Comments		Proposed Sign
1	Eastside of Price St. off ramp just opposite left turn lane for Ocean View.	Blue Sign points north on Price to Sign #2
2	Eastside of Price between Hinds and Stimson for Northbound Traffic	Smaller White Sign with Chamber of Commerce and location of Visitor Center.		Confusing – Big Blue Sign passes off to small white sign
3	Eastside of Dolliver for Northbound Traffic	Small white sign again.		Sign should be blue as Sign #1.
4	Westside of Dolliver – double sided sign in front of Visitor Information Center.	Big Blue Signs
5	In center divider at “Y” intersection of Price and Dolliver	Signage for southbound traffic exiting off Freeway		Directions are confusing if you see this sign from southbound Price. Is sign pointing down Price or Dolliver from this Point of View???
6	Westside of Dolliver just south of the “Y” intersection for Southbound Traffic.	White sign but with a blue sign over top – see image.		Signage is not consistent for those seeking Tourist Information.
