🧭🧭I understand the directional information may not be the easiest for everyone, especially if you’re from out of town - look for signs! If no one else is parked on that side of a street you probably haven’t discovered a new magical area, you’re just not supposed to be there!

🪧🪧SIGNS🪧🪧 will be posted on corners with shuttle stops and the incredible team from Sunset Transportation will be carting around picking people up. Stops are being centralized on side streets so you may still need to walk a block or two, but you will avoid most hill work! Expect each stop to be hit on a 20 minute cycle, but times may vary depending on traffic and mobility in the neighborhood! As always, the Sunset Transportation crew will pick you up along the way as well whenever they have seating available.

💰💵Please consider tipping the shuttle drivers when/if you can! They are giving their weekend to ensure yours is better and easier! Express your gratitude verbally if you’re unable with a small financial contribution! 💵💰
🏡💐Be respectful of the homes, driveways and homeowners in the area. They are tolerating an influx of vehicles and congestion that are making maneuvering around their daily lives a little more difficult. DO NOT BLOCK DRIVES! REMAIN AN ASSURED DISTANCE FROM STOP SIGNS AND CORNERS! DO NOT WALK THROUGH YARDS OR TRAMPLE FLOWERS AND LANDSCAPING.
☀️Employ common sense and kindness when in doubt!☀️
SEE YOU SOON!
