Zvago St. Anthony Park, our neighbors at Luther Seminary, will begin a construction project starting Monday morning. As part of this work, the last two parking spaces on the north end of the shared parking lot (on the Zvago side) will be reserved for construction vehicles. Traffic cones will be placed to mark these spots—however, cones may move or blow away. Please do not park in those two spaces for the next two months or until the project is completed, even if the cones are not present. Your cooperation ensures construction crews can safely and reliably access their designated area. Thank you for helping support our neighbors during their project.
