Happy Friday, ya’ll.
A quick parking update as we head into another banner September weekend ☀️
If you visited today, you noticed, the east side lot on Old Pump Rd. is officially decommissioned and posted NO PARKING🚫🙈
This was NOT our decision. We do not own the land, and do not control how it is regulated. This was also not an easy decision for the landowner - they’ve been generous with this space for years, long before we purchased the business.
We know this outcome is welcomed news to some of our neighbors. The timing, as foliage season gets underway, and Harvest Market is two weeks out, is pretty remarkable. For Palmer Lane Maple and the rest of you who support this community cornerstone, the practical consequences are a more complicated.
We expect more cars to continue turning down Old Pump Rd. looking for parking and subsequently a safe place to turn around. That might be in driveways or in the middle of the road. We’ll continue to do everything we can control to keep visits as safe and manageable as possible.
When possible, please park at Jericho Elementary School
•AFTER 4:00pm on school days
•On weekends when there isn’t a hosted district activity on property.
When our local customers model this safe choice, others may follow and that will make a meaningful difference as we navigate tourist season. Thank you!
We’re sorry for the inconvenience. Grateful for your patience, and understanding. And deeply appreciative of everyone who continues to show up for us!
