Project Summary
The fire lane is just south of the entrance to the building and still in front of it. It appears that it is used to park fire equipment or to be used as a turn around because it isn’t very deep, just from the street, across the sidewalk, and into the planting bed. It’s all grass so it is easy to find, and the curb is cut too.

Project Gallery
3300 Federal is called The Main Building. A small area of Grasspave2 is shown between the paving entrance on the right side and the striped parking area on the left, and going back toward the building. A lighted gray bollard marks the back.
Close up of previous photo showing the fire lane in the foreground, the gray bollard at the back and planting beds around the perimeter.
Scanning to the right there is a yellow vertical bollard that marks the edge of the fire lane, something very necessary when snow covers the pavements.
This planting bed marks the edge of the fire lane shown in grass. The same yellow bollard as in the above photo indicates the far edge of the reinforced area.
