Downtown demolition will reshape the look of Tottenham

The northwest corner of Queen Street and Mill Street in Tottenham will look a lot different by the end of the summer.
The property at 4 Mill Street currently has a former show-home, a car wash, and a driveshed barn.
Long-time residents may recall the Tottenham Hotel that was at that corner and destroyed by fire in the 1970s.
All three buildings on the site will be demolished as part of a project to expand public parking in the area.
Demolition is scheduled to take place from Aug. 11 through Aug. 15.
Work will begin with the removal of the show-home. The car wash and the driveshed barn will be taken down later in the fall.
Once both phases of demolition are completed, the entire area will be cleared and opened up for additional parking.
During demolition, the site will be fenced off, and sidewalks will be temporarily closed to ensure public safety. No road closures are expected.
Residents and visitors should expect some noise and dust during the demolition work.
People travelling through the Mill Street and Queen Street intersection are asked to use extra caution as crews and equipment will be active.
Once the site is cleaned up and safe to access, the new parking area will be opened to the public.
