The alley behind the former Younkers location on Third Avenue is off-limits in the near term. A construction project prepping the site for its new tenant has an overhead walkway being torn down. Additionally, an abandoned tunnel that runs underneath the alley is being filled. The work will mean more than a pedestrian and traffic detour, says City Engineer Chad Shefchik.
On Fourth Avenue, where the drop boxes are now located, there is new signage marking the parking spaces immediately surrounding them as five-minute parking. Those slots are designated solely for drop-offs until the depositories can be moved back to their original location.
