During the first three weeks of August (8/3-20), work crews will be preparing the sidewalks and installing install parking meters and equipment along Washington Street, between High and Bryant streets, in Dedham Square.

Crews will first focus on the east side of Washington Street—from Café Fresh Bagel south to Dedham Savings. Two spaces in front of the Dedham Bike Shop will be affected for a portion of this time for the removal of the old pay station there. Up to 19 spaces will be affected during this phase. Contractors will make them available for parking as soon as safely possible. Driveways in this area will also be affected temporarily.

Work will proceed from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Weekdays only. Most on-street parking spaces should be available after 4 p.m. on weekdays and all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

This work will entail temporary removal of brick pavers, masonry sawing and installation of electrical conduit. Removal of old parking kiosks, installation of new utility boxes, meters, and Wi-Fi equipment. Meters will be installed in the same area formerly managed by the parking kiosks, excluding the new outdoor seating areas.

During this phase of construction, customers of Dedham Square shops and restaurants can park along High Street and Eastern Avenue. Free parking is available in three Town lots:

After Town Hall offices close on weekdays, people can also part in the front or rear lots at 450 Washington Street--after 4:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, after 7pm Wednesday, and after 1 p.m. on Fridays. The Town Hall lot should also have spaces available all day on weekends through Labor Day.
