Further study of the Google Earth satellite shot says it was taken on 12/01/2012 and there does not appear to be very many cars parked anywhere on the streets in this area. We looked on our old calendar and see that 12/01/2012 was a Saturday. Google Earth does not show time of day - but maybe no one parks in this area on Saturday either? Or the shot was before or after working hours. The street view shots do not show day of week but do show month and year. The lane closest to the park wall was taken 6/2012 and the far lane was taken 10/2010. So there are a few different ways to look the area over before venturing in.
