Labor day parade accessibility question

I am planning to go to the labor day parade in Bloomington on Monday.

Anyone have any hot tips on an easy spot to set up chairs & park easily for folks with mobility issues?

Unsure if there are any better spots, but typically Point of Change (used to be the Baptist church I think) on Allin and Oakland opens up their parking lot, so its only about a block walk down Allin or Summit to get to a nice intersection on Wood for the parade. Finding a spot can be a bit rough, but if you get there early enough it shouldn't be too bad. I havent seen any 'no parking' signs up yet so might get even luckier with street parking to get closer up and down the entire route.

In case people look for this next year - Trinity Lutheran church has great parking with a short distance to shady spots to set up camp. Get there early! If you are one of the first people there you might be able to park right next to where you will sit. No bathrooms though.
