NEWS NOTES

This summer the Fire Station and Water Plant parking bays are being updated and repaved (image 1). Staff is working with COTA, Westerville Planning and Development and the construction firm to complete this construction with as little impact as possible. We realize this will limit the total number of parking spaces available and have decided to relocate several of our programs to other City facilities.

These relocations will take place in June, July and August. I urge you to pay specific attention to all class locations, as several facilities will be in use.

Each class location can be found at the end of every program description (figure 1). If no location is given, then that class will remain at the Senior Center.

All trips will depart from the south parking bays at the Community Center (image 2). The southern most entrance will also be open and unlocked. This will provide quick access to restrooms and a dry place to wait in case of poor weather.

Many of our other programs will use the Community Center or Everal Barn and Homestead (image 3).

Please note, the Barn has two levels, the correct level will be identified in the program description.

The Barn is equipped with an elevator.
