Grant funds parking lot improvements in Dayton

DAYTON, Tenn. – Parking lots in Dayton are getting a face-lift.

Kerry Nabors, chairman of the MainStreet Dayton downtown design committee, told City Council members this week that the group wants to use grant funds to seal and stripe parking lots on Main Street and First Avenue.

It also wants to add wrought-iron fencing and landscape accents, particularly at a large lot on First Avenue adjacent to VolState Internet, she said.

“This is our attempt to freshen up the looks and highlight where parking is,” Nabors said.

The plan also calls for improving signage and providing standardized sign posts for street and stop signs. Because there are pending changes in requirements for street signs and stop signs being mandated by the state Department of Transportation, Nabors said they would wait to purchase those items.
