CANTON – Parking lots  at the St. Lawrence County Courthouse, Public Safety Complex and HB Smith Building on Judson Street will soon be closed for replacement work.

The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators approved a plan to address the parking lots at the County Court Street/Judson Street campus. The County and the Village will engage in replacing the parking lots at the Public Safety Complex, the County Courthouse, and the HB Smith Building on Judson Street. 

Addressing this deferred maintenance is important for the County, with work primarily occurring in the evenings and on the weekends. Some disruption to the areas is anticipated during the Project. Please extend the courtesy of patience to staff and plan extra time when visiting County facilities.

The parking lots at the Public Safety Complex and the North Parking Lot of the Courthouse will be closed during the weekend of September 26 and Sept. 27. The temporary closure is necessary to support the scheduled replacement of the parking lots with work being completed between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., potentially both days. The existing pavement will be taken up and new pavement will be added. Please make alternative parking arrangements if you expect to be on-site during the weekend and be aware of large construction vehicles leaving this area and traveling to and from 44 Park Street in the Village of Canton.

Cones and barrels will be used for parking guidance during the week of September 28th until the official striping is completed. Signage will be clearly indicated for designated parking areas (Handicap, Veterans, and reserved) throughout the Project.

As dates are finalized for the remaining lots to be repaved, additional information will be shared with the public.
