Project Gallery
View of east end of fire lane just to the right of the lamp post. Note the curb cut. Street lamps were used to define the driving lane.
The trapezoidal shaped building is the Municipal Building, now on the left side of the photo looking backward toward Forrest Street. A pedestrian sidewalk slices through the fire lane.
Backing up further toward Mill Street circular drive entrance, it is easy to see the line of street lights used for lane marking as well as illumination.
Location of the circular drive entrance to the fire lane is in the distance where the Coca Cola truck and my red car are parked.
The high rise building on the right has a quiet location with no street traffic in front, just a fire lane and pedestrian mall.
