This is a different, but somewhat related issue, Carl. What I (and Michele) was referring to was usage of the H building parking lot, as well as the parking for buildings I, J, and K, to access the beach. The major access path is between Buildings H and I, but last December, I also saw the trespassers going between Buildings I and J, and J and K.
I don’t believe assigned parking is necessary. Most of the intruders use the northern portion of the H parking lot. In the evening, restaurant patrons sometimes use the closer spaces. I do believe some signage, complete with saber-rattling verbiage, would have some positive effect on both these issues
This is a problem that could benefit from a multi-pronged approach. The trespassers are not a homogeneous bunch. Most would likely not be deterred by signs, but some would. Right now, we have nothing that even tells people they are trespassing. I, personally, have spoken to some who, I believe, would not return if a small degree of pressure were applied. Others would simply laugh and move on to the beach.
The other option would be to add to signs that vehicles would be clamped. Then, if they continued to park there, their vehicles would be clamped, and they would have to pay something like $100 for it to be released. Thereby also providing us with an income.
That's good news, Lynn. Do you have any details as to what this security will entail; e.g. will there be a security guard at the front entrance, or parking lot monitoring?
