Lyon Place Garage to Open Monday
White Plains’ new Lyon Place garage will be open to the public starting Monday, August 25.
In March 2013 the City of White Plains acquired the Lyon Place Garage from the Esplanade Assisted Care Facility. The garage had fallen into a state of disrepair and had been closed to the public. The City acquired the garage with the intention of replacing it with a new, state-of-the-art, eight-story parking facility.
The City acquired the property from the Esplanade at no cost in exchange for a 99 year occupancy agreement pursuant to which the Esplanade will have use of 161 parking spaces and pay a pro rata share of operating costs.
The new facility will have 619 parking spaces, with 458 spaces available to the public.
September parking permits for the new garage will go on sale immediately and can be purchased at the Lexington-Grove East garage office (located adjacent to Macy’s at the Galleria). Call the Lexington-Grove East garage office at 422-1392 for details. As in the City’s other garages, the Lyon Place garage will utilize multi-space meters. The multi-space meters accept cash (coins and bills) or credit cards and offer the “pay by cell” option. The “pay by cell” account is connected to your Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover card. In addition, if you forget how to “pay by cell,” the receipt from the multi-space meter provides instructions.
