      Pedestrian access is available from Delaware Street at Gate 3 for convenience; that allows patrons to access our South Parking lot from the Delaware side of our property for those taking public transportation and parking off-site. Gate 3 provides pedestrian access to patrons from Delaware into our parking lot, while still providing security as it does not access the interior of the property.
