The Wall Street Parking Garage will be temporarily closed between 7 p.m. – 5 a.m. beginning on May 8, 2023, through May 11, 2023, and then again from May 15, 2023 through May 18, 2023 for stairwell improvements.

This maintenance comes in response to the Parking Garage Capital Improvements Facility Assessment.

The purpose of the assessment is to review needed maintenance items and budget for upcoming repairs over the next several years for each garage.
