Parking
Please park your motorized vehicle on the far side of Lexington, or on Thomas. Construction Junction’s lot is for their customers (and they generally lock their gate before we do). If you’re dropping off donations by our gate, leave your blinkers on so you don’t get a ticket!
Bicycles should be either secured to our rack inside the gate (and out of the rain), or signed in and clamped to a workstand. Please don’t leave your bike lying around the shop; we don’t want some well-meaning volunteer to treat it as a donation…
