Water Street garage

Work is moving forward at the site of a planned parking structure and apartment complex near the Boscov's department store in downtown Binghamton.

The most challenging aspect of tearing down an old Binghamton parking facility will be the removal of a section that's above the north end of the Boscov's department store.

Not everyone is paying attention to the new signs and barricades installed on a busy downtown Binghamton street.

City officials have decided that Binghamton's crumbling Water Street parking ramp will be demolished and not repaired.

As Boscov's works to finalize a short-term lease renewal for its Binghamton store, the company is almost ready to resume operations at three other locations.
