NYPA Fishing Pier’s Lower Level Parking Area Closed Temporarily Contact:
August 6, 2009 Workers will be putting the finishing touches on an expansion project that has added spaces for 10 more cars at the lower level parking area. Previously, the site only had room for four vehicles with handicapped-access permits. Anglers will still be able to access the popular fishing pier, which will remain open on Monday while the expansion project is completed, from NYPA’s upper level parking lot. The fishing pier parking lot expansion is one of a
series of recreational improvements NYPA has agreed to make as part
of the relicensing of its Niagara Power Project. Work to expand
parking and improve access to fishing spots at Lewiston Reservoir
and near NYPA’s water intakes along the Upper Niagara River is being
done this summer as well. About NYPA: ■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit.
