Progress Being Made on Mburgh Parking Lot

MIDDLEBURGH - Middleburgh village crews are making progress on the new parking lot on Railroad Avenue, village officials said this week.

"The Village DPW crew is working on the parking lot as time allows with other projects and winterization," Mayor Tim Knight said Wednesday morning.

"DPW Superintendent Cole Keyser has said the goal is to complete the parking lot this year," the Mayor added.

The stamp blocks were delivered for the parking lot and were placed earlier this month.

Some of the black top millings from the Wells Avenue paving project will be used for the lot, Mr. Keyser said.

The old "chalet" house at 111 Railroad Avenue was taken down in late summer and village officials unveiled the design of the 92-foot long by 37-foot wide parking lot at their meeting in October.

The parking lot will have 10 spots of various widths. The rear four spaces will be reserved for permitted residents and will be eight-feet wide. The next two spaces will be nine feet-wide and the front four spaces will be 10-feet wide.
