The triangular parking lot in Newton Centre — the Langley Lot — will be closed Tuesday, May 20 through Thursday, May 22 — for repaving.
This work closure was originally scheduled for May 16-18, but that coincided with the Boston College commencement, one of the busiest days of the year for Newton Centre restaurants and retail shops. Kay Masterson, co-owner of Johnny’s Luncheonette in Newton Centre and Cabot’s in Newtonville, spoke with other Newton Centre business owners and worked with City officials to move the closure to Memorial Day weekend, which is generally less busy.
And most recently, the closure was changed again, to be May 20-22.
During the three-day closure of the Langley lot, the three other municipal lots — Pleasant Street, Pelham Street, and Cypress Street — will remain open.
The Walgreen’s parking lot (next to and behind the former Walgreen’s site (22 Langley Road) has been inaccessible since April 2, when new tenants took over the space and posted a noticed indicating that the lot will be patrolled days and evenings, and unauthorized vehicles will be towed from that lot.
