Upcoming Parking & Pedestrian Impacts: W.T. Young Library

Project: W.T. Young Library Roof Replacement & Basement Renovation
Area(s) Impacted: W.T. Young Library Area

Contractors are scheduled to begin work on Monday, May 11, at the William T. Young Library, impacting parking, pedestrian routes, and cyclist access through the end of the year.

Overview:
Two projects will occur simultaneously: basement renovation and roof replacement. 

Basement Renovation (May 11-December 31):

Access to the library loading dock (Area C) will be intermittent based on project needs. This area will be used periodically for construction dumpsters and crane placement.

Roof Replacement (May 11-August 10):

This project will impact several parking areas around the library. Sixteen (16) parking spaces in the Columbia Avenue West Lot (Area A) will be closed for dumpsters. A crane will be in place periodically in Area B.

In addition, a roofing materials trailer will be placed in the library circle near the main entrance. This trailer will temporarily block the library drop-off area (Area D). 

Roofing materials will be stored in Area E, in the median between the library circle and the visitor pay lot. Approximately 10 parking spaces in the visitor lot will be unavailable periodically through June 11.

Travel Advisory:

The work area will be fenced, but pedestrians and cyclists should exercise caution while traveling in the vicinity and expect altered pathways.
