Change alt tag for Lucking Parking image on events page to adhere to WCAG

[answebdev]

Overview

We need to ensure that alt text for images adhere to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). For this issue, we will change the alt text for the westside location on Events page.

Details

Designers and PMs identified that some alt texts in the Events page should be changed because they are either inaccurate or too long. Ideally, alt text should be descriptive but short and succinct. According to the WCAG page, an accompanying alt text should be short. Additionally, the Functional Accessibility Evaluator (FAE) recommends for alt text to be no more than 100 characters.

Action Items

• For the file _includes/events-page/our-locations-content.html, change line 25 for the alt text:

from

<img id="mini-img" src="../assets/images/projects/lucky-parking.png" alt="Lucky Parking Project" />

to

<img id="mini-img" src="../assets/images/projects/lucky-parking.png" alt="" />

• Due to changes in Events page: Remove projects from Our Locations section #3027, this issue is no longer valid because that image no longer exists on the page.
