Project Updates

Tree removal was successfully completed on the morning of Tuesday, Feb. 17. As seen previously on LaSalle Road, new trees will be planted using an innovative soil cell system designed to support healthier root growth while protecting sidewalks and infrastructure from future damage.

This approach allows for a greater number of trees and promotes long-term sustainability in the Center.

Hard Hats Meet Hashtags

As construction progresses, we're working to maximize on-street parking for customers and visitors. To help, we encourage employees to use alternative parking options, including the Town Center Parking Garage, which offers reduced rates for retail and restaurant employees working in the Center.

The Town Center Garage rates are far lower than other options! The rates are $4.50 for up to an 8.5-hour shift and $7 for anything over 8.5 hours.
