and Oak St, ½ block away, the city opened a 7-level parking gargage
in early 2008. On the school grounds around Kofman Alameda parking control

parked illegally. They can also have cars towed that are parked in the
fire lanes. R.V._users cannot occupy more than one space and cannot

on the West side of the auditorium can only be use to unload and load
