The county-owned lot also supports flexibility and density in new housing developments by giving them an opportunity to put their required spaces in this lot instead of on their own property.

Context All types of parking in IV are a big deal - it's a densely populated place with a lot of people and a lot of cars, and residents and visitors complain about not enough parking.

The community was called BLUNITE; they were inspired to add lights to the tunnel due to their vision of helping IV residents come together as a whole once again and show their solidarity through light, after aa serious of darkness. Many people walked through the Pardall tunnel in memory of those six UCSB students lives that were lost. The light installation was inspired to serve the Isla Vista community as a campus memorial and has become a permanent feature of the campus.

As I walk through the tunnel I wonder if the only reason for these lights to be installed was as a remembrance, what if they were put there for another reason? I have to look into that. The particular tunnel helps us remember the lives of students that where lost that day and how united the UCSB community is to have done so much to make sure that the lives of the six students would never be forgotten.

Personally, I believe that it could not fit the tunnel any better. Before when the tunnel did not have lights it served as a dark cave, now that the lights have been added there is light while walking through the tunnel at night it is no longer dark.

As I talked to students that are aware of the tunnel and the reasons as to why the lights were installed they all seemed to conclude that they served as both a memorial and safety precaution for those out late at night in IV Isla Vista. Students gathered for a candlelight vigil on the University of California Santa Barbara campus May 24, to remember those killed Friday night during a rampage in nearby Isla Vista.

The reason as to why the tunnel portrays the community is because of the light installation; it was inspired by the student candlelight vigil that consisted of participants a couple days after the tragic incident that took place in Isla Vista near the UCSB campus. Collective memory really comes into place when it comes to memorials like these, in which they hold a significant representation of something tragic that has happened or taken place around the community, such as the Pardall Tunnel. For instance, as Britton states how people turn a normal site to something that means a lot more, once it gets turned into a memorial.
