This is the parking lot at the local Royal Bank , their parking restriction sign says that parking is restricted to customers. Their small sign is displayed on a structure that had a for sale sign on it for the parking lot. Who knows what kind of tensions were up with electronic banking  the cost of land for regulated parking obligations  and politics. However we are glad to see the parking for the downtown place resolved. the fact that :

Royal didn’t put a nice single metal post for its sign is noted , and we re indeed thankful that their customers don’t take up other business parking space.
