View Parking InformationSeveral existing parking spaces along East Broad Street are scheduled for permanent removal as part of the approved 57 East civil site plan.
That area will become one of the new entrances and exits into the development. Construction requires removal and reconstruction of existing pavement, curb, sidewalk, striping, and related infrastructure. The temporary construction fence was moved to include this area because demolition and site work are underway.
