PARKING
CAUTION! Please be careful about parking in the spaces behind businesses that are closed. Some people have been towed. Please pay attention to the parking signs.

This means parking can be limited. We encourage rideshare whenever possible. With that said, we do have one van accessible handicap parking space onsite located off the alley adjacent to out building. If you plan to drive to Shadow Grove, perhaps this parking guide will help you find a spot.

CALIFORNIA'S DAYLIGHTING LAW (AB 413)
​
What Is Daylighting?
Daylighting is the simple concept that safety is improved by removing parked cars next to crosswalks. Assembly Bill 413 prohibits the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any unmarked or marked crosswalk or 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present. An unmarked crosswalk is defined as being any path between street corners, or between a street corner and sidewalk only if there are curb ramps on both sides.
​
Why Is Daylighting Important?
The goal of the new law is to improve safety of all roadway users by increasing visibility at intersections. By keeping the area next to crosswalks clear of parked vehicle obstructions, people walking and people driving or riding on the street can see each other better.
​
When Did Daylighting Go Into Effect?
Starting on January 1, 2025, drivers could get cited for violating this law in California. The City of San Fernando is providing a grace period on the issuance of citations to help inform and educate the community on these new State mandated parking requirements. Any vehicle parked in a ‘daylighting’ position before April 1, 2025 will be issued courtesy notice explaining the new law and directed them to visit SFCITY.ORG/Parking for more information.
