2011-2012 PARKING Because of ongoing construction at the Newman School during the 2011-2012 school year, there are some limitations on parking availability. ALL Historical Society daytime parking is in the new parking strip alongside the driveway. Because of construction work and the needs of the school, there is no parking available in the lots or along the curb. Heavy traffic and delays are expected during the daily pickup (8:30-9:30 am) and dropoff (2:30-3:30 pm), so avoid these times if possible. The parking lots beyond the modulars (ie, the former bus parking area and tennis courts), as well as the spaces along the white fence, are available on evenings and weekends for event parking. Please note alterations to the driveway from Central Avenue. There are now TWO drives. Please use the lanes on the right for access to the school; the left is restricted for construction site access ONLY. __________________________________________
