The parking lot at Junot Park will be temporarily closed to the public during working hours to support several infrastructure improvements in the area.

The parking lot will be closed on weekdays between 7am and 7pm as work proceeds. On-street parking is available in the surrounding area.

The parking lot will reopen when the work is complete, expected to be by mid-August. Junot Park remains open to the public during this time.

The improvements include installation of a pedestrian crossover linking to the park, replacement of sidewalks on both sides of Junot Avenue between Red River Road and Stardust Crescent, and replacement of ramps on a walkway on Melon Street. After the crossover is installed, the parking lot will also be restored, with the addition of some new pedestrian connections.

Once installed, the City’s newest pedestrian crossover will provide a safe, on-demand crossing for pedestrians visiting Junot Park and making other trips in the area. The crossover will span Junot Avenue at Melon Street.
