Agreement to Follow Our Place Traffic and Parking Management Plan

To ensure the safety of our participants and respect the needs of our neighbors who use the alley to access their garages, the Wilmette Village Board requires that Our Place must not block the alley. Failure to abide by these procedures could jeopardize our right to continue our use and occupancy of the Community Church of Wilmette.

All families, guardians and caretakers agree to comply with the following

1.     Enter the alley only from Wilmette Avenue. On Saturdays, you can only turn right off of Wilmette Avenue into the alley at drop-off and pickup.

2.    No vehicles can back up onto Wilmette Avenue at any time.

3.    Only if the alley is blocked west of Our Place and staff permits and directs it, can you exit to Wilmette Avenue.

4.    No vehicles can stop or stand in the alley to pick up participants – you must pull into a parking spot. If there is no parking spot, please circle around the block until one opens up.

5.    PACE buses cannot block the alley. The buses must park in the first 4 spots parallel to the north entrance of the building where we drop off participants. We have contacted PACE to remind them of this requirement.

6.    If a PACE bus enters the alley and you are parked in one of the first four spaces, please move your vehicle so the PACE bus can pull into those spots.

7.     These rules apply to everyone. If a participant takes a cab, Uber or any other private form of transportation to Our Place, please make sure the driver understands and agrees to follow our traffic policy.

8.    Pursuant to Our Place’s agreement with the Wilmette Village Board, failure to comply with the procedures or to follow staff directions could result in suspension from the program.

9.    To aid us in ensuring PACE complies with these requirements, please let us know if your participant regularly uses PACE and the corresponding times. This will allow Our Place to have a staff person outside to monitor the PACE parking.

By signing this Agreement to abide by the Our Place Traffic and Parking Management Plan, we commit to follow all parking procedures detailed above and required by Our Place. We further commit to follow the directions of staff relating to these procedures at all times. We acknowledge that we are responsible for communicating these procedures to others who transport our participant and for ensuring their compliance with these procedures. We further acknowledge that we will be required to sign this agreement at the start of every session concurrently with your program registration.

 We recognize how important it is to follow these procedures and agree that if we or others mentioned above fail to do so or follow staff instructions twice in a calendar year, this will result in our participant’s suspension from Our Place programs.
