Anyone hoping to park in the new Main Street parking lot today was met with barricades instead of parking spaces.

While the lower level of the new lot remains open, the upper level is closed temporarily so that masonry work can be done to the east side of the Mills Jewelers building.

The work is being done by private contractors paid by the city to repair the portion of the wall where the old parking ramp had abutted the building. The work was part of the overall parking lot project and will not cost the city anything more, according to Mayor Anne McCaffrey.
