The color-coded parking decks and signage displays the number of open spaces in each deck, level and row.

Customers have identified parking as a major “pain point” of their shopping experience. Under the new system, time spent looking for parking fell 44 percent, while the number of drivers searching more than five minutes fell 12 percent.
