PARKING UPDATE. PLEASE READ.
I'll address this a bit more in comments and future posts, but we've had a couple issues with parking and towing recently. We want to address them so that our guests park in spaces that are allowed. This is a VERY new development, and it's nothing we saw coming. But I've been talking with the company that manages the Tigard Plaza property, and we're all hoping to avoid future issues with parking. They've given us some good guidelines that should work for us. So please be very mindful of these when you come to the Joy. Not to sound negative, but I'll start with areas to avoid.
PLEASE AVOID -
Please DON'T park in the area behind the Pacific Boil Bar and in front of Dollar Tree, Claw City and other businesses in this corner of the main lot. There are just two or three rows/sections for parking here, so it should be easy to stay away from them. These are all great neighbors, so we don't want to crowd them.
"FAVORED" PARKING AREAS -
Please note that we truly are guests in this entire lot because we're not owned by Tigard Plaza. Most of our guests have parked in the part of the lot that borders Hall Blvd. and 99W and have had zero trouble. We just want to avoid any SIGNED spaces designated for various businesses such as Sesame Donut, Rosy Nails, SNC Store and others. And the closer you can park to 99W, the better. Again, these businesses have always been great, supportive neighbors, so we want to continue to be respectful of their spaces.
There's also a lot of parking in the "lower lot" in Tigard Plaza. This is to the left of the main part of the plaza where you'll find Archers Afield, The Decorette Shop and a laundromat. Please be respectful and don't park directly in front of these businesses. The spaces on the edge of the lot are best. This lot is not often used by our guests, but it's a very short distance from the main lot.
SO...please follow the above guidelines. I'm doing my best to advocate for our guests, but please understand that I can't comment here on how the Plaza operates. Our guests have parked in their lots for years, so we want this to continue and to have good relationships with all our neighbors.
