Washington Square neighbors and traffic on Chenoweth Lane will be impacted for an additional week by Masonic Homes' use of the emergency gate while construction of new assisted living and independent living units at Masonic Home continues. Since February 6, campus traffic has been rerouted so that all vehicles may enter via Frankfort Avenue, but exiting traffic is using the emergency gate at Washington Square. The project was anticipated to take two weeks but has now been extended for an additional week, through February 24.
