Congregational Life at LCHLCH Parks Cars for Punahou Carnival
LCH youth and adults were happy about another feature of the new lot. Based on Pam Buckley’s suggestion, holes had been included at entrances to the parking lot so temporary bollards could be installed to control movement in and out. So, instead of renting safety barriers to be positioned Thursday night, all they had to do was unscrew the covers and insert the PVC bollards. On Friday morning, when they were ready to begin parking cars, they just pulled out a couple of the bollards, and customers could drive right in. Of course, everyone at LCH was also happy that there was lots of business to generate parking donations in support of youth activities throughout the year.

Painting the Stripes for the Parking Lot
The new lot has diagonal stalls and one-way traffic entering from Dominis Street and exiting onto Poki Street. There are two handicapped stalls, one on either side of the walkway into the courtyard. Once they had finished with the back parking lot, the workers also repainted the stripes on the Poki Lot. At right, one of the workers uses the precision spraying machine to paint parking lines.

The first weekend in February, and the people of Honolulu had much to be happy about. It was Punahou Carnival, and for the fourth year in a row, it wasn’t raining. In addition to the good weather, a small number of lucky carnival-goers were pleased with the newly-paved parking lot at LCH—easy in and easy out, spacious stalls, and a smooth concrete surface.
On Saturday, January 7, workers arrived to stripe the parking lot. The workers began to lay out all the lines that would be painted, carefully measuring the angles and dividing the space so everything would be perfect. Once that was done, the put down the lines with a precision spray machine. The final step was labeling the spots that are reserved on weekdays for Punahou parkers.
