Scheduled Fiber Line and Pole Removal in the Memorial Coliseum Lot

Project: Scheduled Fiber Line and Pole Removal in the Memorial Coliseum Employee Lot

Date: October 8th and 9th. 

Besco will be removing both fiber lines and poles from the northwest section of the Memorial Coliseum employee parking lot on Wednesday, October 8th, and Thursday, October 9th. 

This essential maintenance work is designed to enhance utility services in the area. Approximately 12 parking spaces, highlighted in purple on the provided map, will be temporarily unavailable.

Additionally, the Lexington Avenue entrance, marked in green, will experience intermittent closures, which may affect vehicle movement in and out of the parking lot.

Motorists and pedestrians are advised to exercise caution in the area and consider using alternative routes to access the Coliseum lot. You can enter and exit via College View Avenue to reach Rose Street.

During the operation, there may be temporary disruptions to traffic flow along the back row of the parking lot as cables are pulled from the utility hole. The sidewalk alongside Lexington Avenue (shown in blue) will also be closed due to utility work during this period.
