A 25-year-old West Avenue man was charged with DWI and criminal tampering after police say he struck the backhoe parked in front of City Hall — then attempted to move it.
Adam J. Masters, 382 West Ave., Front Apt., is accused of striking the rear of the construction vehicle on the south side of the roadway before patrol got there at approximately 11:23 p.m.
“Patrol arrived on the scene and found that a vehicle … had run into the rear of the backhoe and the vehicle was partially in the large hole that the backhoe was on top of,” according to the report. “A male in a dress shirt, tie, slacks and shoes had climbed into the backhoe and was attempting to gain access to the cab of the vehicle as patrol approached.”
Police asked him to step down from the vehicle, to which he replied, “As soon as I move this so I can get my car out.”
Masters was determined to be intoxicated and was subsequently charged with DWI, failure to keep right, improper lane use, and third-degree criminal tampering. He is due in City Court on Monday.

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.

The municipal parking lot at Main and Pine streets will not be ready for use by this weekend as city officials had hoped, according to Mayor Anne McCaffrey.
The lot should be available for parking — although not yet aesthetically complete — by July 4, the mayor said this afternoon.
The new lot will have 44 parking spaces and allow for a view of the canal that had been hidden by the parking ramp that previously stood in the spot where the two-layer lot will be.
The lot was originally expected to be completed before winter but weather and equipment issues delayed it.

Locust streets.

Road crews were out working this morning on both Locust and Main streets, which had Main Street closed between Pine and Locust streets, and Locust closed between Willow and Millar streets. In addition, paving was going on this morning on Washburn Street near Willow Street.
Road work is likely to continue in the coming weeks as the Lockport Streets Department patches and paves the streets that need it.
