To offset the impact, the board voted to suspend the permit requirement between 7 p.m. and 3 a.m. on the remaining open portions of the lot at a Nov. 4 meeting. This will allow residents and visitors to park freely in that area during evening hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The north portion of the lot, located behind 770 Middle Neck Road, remains open with daytime permit rules still in effect. Daytime parking continues to require a valid permit for employees and business owners working in nearby offices and shops.<\/p>\n<p>Cohan said nearby businesses \u2014 including a restaurant that hosts evening events, a pizzeria, and a late-night gym \u2014 will benefit from the change because their customers have struggled to find parking since construction began.<\/p>\n<p>The construction of the new village hall is ongoing, and a portion of the south lot will remain closed until the project is completed.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Village of Great Neck temporarily lifted evening parking permit requirements in a municipal lot.
