Imagine the grounds crew employees who had to repaint the direction. Some things never change. Party on!!

RV electrical is almost always on the driver side so that makes sense. Hilarious they painted the arrows wrong the 1st time.

It still seems odd to me to have your electric box in the middle of the end of your neighbors grass.

Hopefully people respect that the other grass area is their neighbor's and not theirs and don't try to take anymore than their pop out requires. Frankly the whole RV, including the slides should be able to sit on the pad so they aren't taking any of their neighbor's lawn.
The average travel trailer or 5th wheel is 8 ft wide with 3 ft slides. 11ft total. Very standard. Some slides only 2 ft. But many are 3 ft.

The last photo is not badly framed. I wanted to show that they put oil on the entry gravel to keep the dust down.
Is it actually oiled or did they put down asphalt fines? I haven't been there but my brother took some shots of the new drives and they are all asphalt fines it appears. It would be nice if they would get in there with a vibratory roller before Friday. With a little bit of compaction on a warm day they could really cut down on the rutting.

They had the grass side swapped so before it was on the end of you lawn, but everyone would have to drive in rather than back in to get the doors dumping out on to your own lawn.

Having your cord running to the box between two other grass patches really is no big deal.

What they put down on the entrance to the RV Village seemed like a liquid. And it seemed oily. But I didn't touch it and I don't have a clue what is really was.

P.S. I'm just here to post photos for you folks. I don't always know what I'm seeing!

Photos taken from the grass near the bus stop on Lincoln Way near Fisher and Stephens. I tried to show the striping for parking places.

Oops, I see that I posted a bunch of non RV Village Assignment photos here. I thought I was posting in the JTS Improvments megathread. I may try to move them over in order to maintain the focus on this thread and not be "that guy" who hijacks a thread.

I posted this photo in the megathread, but thought it belonged here too for those of you interested in seeing the electric boxes for the new RV Village.

Looks good and doable for all. 100amp service to each sight. Although that (100amps) can go fast early in the season if its hot and people are using both air conditioners, fridge and food warmers. Be aware when plugging everything in.

Seems like the same thing they use on gravel roads by people's homesteads. I remember it being water a calcium and another type of substance mixed together. I was down by there last night and it did seem a little tacky on my shoes.

It's to minimize the dust kick up from people driving on it.

It is asphalt millings IIRC from working on the project. I know they planned to use some of the material demoed from the B1 project.

Top outlet to bottom (as shown in the top picture; and right to left in the bottom picture) outlets are: 20A, 30A, and RV 50A outlets. Very nice design. Always flip the breakers off before hooking up and also before disconnecting!

Just drove by on South 4th. Saw three in line with a couple headed up university. Line started about the south end of the haunted forest property.
