I’m guessing pay stations or maybe a bike rack but who knows maybe they’ll build something on that little space so the landowner can tear it down and build a mini parking lot. It’s the circle of life.

UGGHHHHHHHHH you’re right. And I bet @JosABanks is right, the small area to the left will be the pay station. GOD.

But why would they bother putting in a pay station in this day and age of paying for parking via app? Seems like a perfectly good waste of parking spaces.

This is officially a parking lot, complete with a small tree. It’s basically the lot that the Dillon replaced, reincarnated. I didn’t take a photo because I was too busy dodging other humans.

Correct. It’s about as official and temporary as you can get.
If you spin out fast enough, you can get some rock dings!
