Despite these issues, we still managed to successfully complete everything, leaving only minimal gaps. It would have been useful to know approximately how many people are parking in the remote lots on an average day. We did not have time between our work and schools schedules to physically go out to these parking lots and count every single car. Another method of making the group more effective would have been breaking up the...
