Just In: No Parking on A Street Between Necco & Wormwood

updated 4/4/22: No parking area extended on A St from Necco Street to Binford Street from 9:30am to 3:30pm through April 7th. 

updated 3/10/22: Vicinity Energy work for 15 Necco details added

There is no parking on A Street between Necco and Wormwood Streets Monday - Friday from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm starting today, March 9th, through April 7th. Be sure to move your car by tomorrow morning and every weekday morning before 9:30am to avoid it being towed. Please help spread the word to your neighbors. 

The parking restrictions are due to the start of utility work on A Street. Vicinity Energy is running a new steam pipe from their existing service on West 2nd Street to 15 Necco Street, which National Alexandra Real Estate Equities announced will be the future home of Eli Lilly's Institute for Genetic Medicine.

The work is expected to last through the fall. It will be done in sections of approximately 150 feet and when an area is being excavated parking will not be allowed.
