WATER STREET LOT IMPROVEMENT Many of you may have seen the new concrete pad in the Water Street Parking lot. This will be the site of an additional, new attendant booth. The OGS parking staff in the lot will have a better view of the largest part of the lot from this location. Remember - ALWAYS report parking lot problems to OGS; and always copy your PEF/encon Shop Steward. Traffic problems? Always report to the Albany Police, and be sure to copy DEC Building Management and a PEF/encon Shop Steward. Remain vigilant to remain safe and secure - Last December’s Water Street vandalisms took place when no OGS staff was on duty. Be aware... Be safe.
