Construction begins for parking lot improvements at garden plots
Construction for parking lot improvements at the Ron Ory Community Garden Plots is now underway.
Work began on Sept. 2 on a new permeable paver lot, which will replace the current gravel lot along West Street by the main entrance. The new lot will provide better drainage and water quality, while also improving ADA accessibility. It will also add designated parking spots for those visiting the garden plots, as well as Knoch Park.
The improvements are partially funded by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and DuPage County. The work is just part of a multi-year plan for renovations at the plots. More raised planting beds and LED lighting in the parking area are also on the horizon.
Visitors to the plots should seek alternate parking while the current work is underway.
