The Saratoga parking lot expansion project is officially underway! We're creating additional parking spaces and improving the arrival experience so we can continue making room for more people in the years ahead. This opportunity to better host you and the thousands who gather at our church each week, alongside other upcoming building projects, is all possible because of your generosity, first through the Giving Good campaign several years ago and the Here to Stay campaign more recently. Thank you!

Construction begins Monday, August 24.

You'll begin seeing construction activity around campus that week, with parking changes affecting Sunday mornings during the project.

Construction is expected to last approximately 10 weeks.

We'll continue to provide updates throughout the project and let you know if the timeline changes.

Yes! Parking will remain available throughout construction.

The dirt parking lot will be unavailable throughout construction while it is being expanded and improved. Parking will still be available on campus, but spaces will be more limited than usual.

Overflow parking will be available nearby, with clear signage and parking team members available each Sunday to help direct traffic.

If the main parking lot is full, we encourage you to use one of our nearby overflow parking lots.

Parking team members, directional signage, and a parking map will help guide you each weekend.

During construction, we encourage everyone to:

• Allow a few extra minutes to park and walk to campus.

• Use overflow parking when the main lot is full.

• Follow the directions of our parking team.

• Be patient and flexible as we work together through this temporary season.

Possibly.

Traffic flow and pedestrian routes may change throughout construction as work progresses. We'll communicate any significant changes in advance whenever possible through email, Church Center, social media, and weekend announcements.

No.

Weekend services and ministry programming will continue as normal throughout construction.

One of our values is making room for others.

If you're able to park in an overflow lot and enjoy a short walk to campus, you're helping leave closer parking spaces available for guests, families with young children, seniors, and those with mobility needs.

Every parking space you leave available helps create room for someone who may be visiting WestGate for the very first time.

We'll keep everyone informed throughout the project through:

• Weekend stage announcements

• Monthly Email updates

• Church Center App + Push notifications

• Instagram

• The Here to Stay webpage

Thank you for partnering with us during construction!

You can help by:

• Arriving a few minutes early.

• Parking in overflow lots when available.

• Following parking team directions.

• Extending patience and kindness to others.

• Helping create a welcoming experience for every guest.
