Downtown Pedestrian Breezeway and Yale Road Crosswalk
Downtown Pedestrian Breezeway & Yale Road Crosswalk
Construction Progress
The pedestrian breezeway connecting Yale Road to the Victoria parking lot and the Yale Road crosswalk are now complete. Thank you to everyone for your patience throughout the process. The P is illuminated every night, paying tribute to the former Paramount building sign and directing pedestrians to the parking area.
