Community Action Day Parking on Fifth Avenue
On Wednesday May 14th 2025 we will be celebrating Community Action Day on Fifth Ave to include a wellness fair and building dedication ceremony.
This event will have an impact on campus parking, we will be closing the block(Hutton to Hoosick) to all traffic from 7am to 2pm. There will be no parking on either side of 5th Ave. during that time. Signs are up now to help prepare staff and customers to plan accordingly.
Extra parking will be available for staff and customers at the Bridge parking lot and the former Troy Family Resource Center lot located at 2238 Fifth Ave. You can access the former TFRC lot by making a left onto Earl Street Alley from the Route 7 exit and pulling into the lot mid-way down the alley, OR by coming North on Fifth Ave and turning right into the lot. Both sides of the fence will allow access to the lot.
You can also utilize the parking lots under the Route 7 bridge for extra parking.
It is expected to be a busy day, we thank you in advance for your cooperation as we plan for this event. Please let me know if you have any questions.
