VILLAGE PARKING LOT WORK MORE DISRUPTIVE THAN EXPECTED

It appears the work on the Village Coffee parking lot (a.k.a Lot 7) will be more disruptive than first planned.

Police had warned us ahead of time that the area near Maplewood Avenue and Inwood Place would cause problems beginning Thursday.

But anyone passing by saw that it would take more than a few hours as the lot is dug up, apparently to accommodate construction of the new Clarus development on the former post office site.

See this notice on Thursday from police:

On 4/20/17 through 4/21/17, Lot 7 (Maplewood Ave. entrance to the Train Station Tunnel / Lot 7) will be closed due to construction. Lot 7 will be clear and open on 4/21/17, at approximately 1600hrs (4p.m.). Please plan for delays and detours, as well as parking modifications in the area.
