Chapter One
The Plaza
aka
The Big House
Approach to The Plaza
To approach Freedom Plaza we drive north on American Eagle Boule-
vard. American Eagle Boulevard is a beautiful, divided avenue, land-
scaped in the center with crepe myrtles and palm trees and on either
side by a variety of tropical plants. Several holes of our golf course, Free-
dom Fairways, lie along the Boulevard. Figure 1 is an aerial view of our
campus.
The speed limit on American Eagle Boulevard is 20 miles per hour. We
realize this is a low speed, and it will take a diligent effort on the part of
drivers to maintain this speed, but we share our main road with golf
carts, walkers, bikers, trams, and wheelchairs all of which use the cart
lanes along the sides of American Eagle. In addition, the road has a
number of curves, which add to the beauty of our drive but make it
more difficult to see what may lie ahead in the golf cart lane. A low rate
of speed is essential for the safety of cars, carts, and pedestrians alike.
Please make sure all four wheels of your automobile remain outside the
cart lanes and respect our speed limit.
As we near the Big House, on the right there is a large visitor parking lot.
See Figure 2. Past this lot on both sides of the Boulevard there is as-
signed resident parking. Many Plaza residents have an assigned num-
bered parking space. Please remember your space number and park on-
ly in your own space. If you park a vehicle in any of our parking lots and
you need transportation to the Big House, you may use one of the four
yellow call boxes located in the parking areas to call for the tram: one on
row H, one on row D, one by the golf cart storage, and one in the visitor
parking lot (Figure 2) or call the Front Desk (633-1992).
The Circle
After stopping at the STOP sign, keep to the right to enter the circle and
continue in that same direction to exit. Follow the direction of the white
arrows. For your safety DO NOT WALK IN THE CIRCLE. Use the sidewalk.
