BOROUGH PARKING INFORMATION:
The Borough of West Chester has closed the Mosteller Parking Garage and is due to begin its Mosteller Garage Replacement Project at the end of July 2009.  This parking garage is located at Walnut and Chestnut Streets, directly across the street from our office. 
 
Please be aware that the demolition and construction phases of the Borough's project will at times disrupt traffic flow, close adjacent streets, and limit on-street parking near our office.  These disruptions and delays will occur at various times between July 2009 and October 2010 and they are outside of our purview to predict or control. 
 
To help you better plan any future visit to our office or research library, please review the following garage information and parking map prior to your next visit: 
 
 
We are all looking forward to having access to a new, modern parking facility and appreciate your patience as the Borough completes its project.
