Parking Reductions at Kennedy Station
A reduction of parking spaces in existing Kennedy Station parking lots is required to support the construction of the future Kennedy Station infrastructure.

The parking spaces will be occupied for work zones and construction laydown areas to facilitate a variety of construction stages for the duration of the project.

Over the next four years, parking spaces will be gradually taken as they are required.

Phase 1 Parking Reductions
As Early As May 2017 (timelines are subject to change)

The North Parking Lot will be closed.
There will be reduced parking at the East Parking Lot and South Parking Lot.
Signage will be in place onsite to advise of parking reductions at the applicable lots.
