The Woolen Mill - Vermont's Most Unique Apartments

Parking Lot Gate

As many of you have seen we now have our parking lot security gate operational in our upper parking lot.  This gate is designed to protect the parking lot from unauthorized use therefore providing the necessary parking for our residents.  You will notice that as you approach the gate to enter the parking lot there is a card swipe mechanism.  You will need to use your apartment key card to enter the gate.  The call box that is located next to the card swipe is for commercial tenant use.  As you are exiting the parking lot the gate will automatically raise when you approach it.  Please allow for vehicles entering the parking lot to clear the gate area before exiting.  Our goal is to be able to provide parking for our residents at all times.  Please remember that ALL our parking policies still apply.

Smoke Free Area

We do want to remind everyone that we do have a smoke free zone outside the building.  Smoking is not permit within 50 feet of the building.  It is important that when you choose to smoke outside you refrain from being within this zone.  Smoke does find its way back into the building and into other residents apartments.  Smokers post are placed at each entrance so that you may throw away you extinguished cigarettes but please do not stand by the post to smoke.  We ask that you be respectful ofr fellow residents and please step away from the building.

Resident BBQ coming soon

Mark it on your calendar...August 11th.   This will be our first annual Resident BBQ.  The event will be catered by Wetherbees Catering and will feature hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, salads and to top everything off...strawberry shortcake.  The BBQ will take place down in the lower parking lot in the grilling area and will begin at 5:00pm and go until 8:30pm.  There will music, games, raffles and lots of good conversation.  We hope you all can come and join us.  Invitations to follow.

New Vending Machines at The Woolen Mill

Hey everyone we wanted to make sure you are all aware of the new vending machines in the building.  You should take a minute to check out the new Fresh Vend machine located outside the Health Club.  Maybe stop by after your work out or relaxing in hot tub and check out all the goods.  The machine is full of healthy snacks and drinks.  Check out the variety of smoothies, yogurt and snacks.  This machine has not replaced the coke machine, the coke machine has simply moved.  the new and improved coke machine is now located in the mail room entry right across from the elevator.  This machine now offers 20 ounce bottles.  No more cans and new flavors.  Check out these two machines. 

Street parking ban lifted

Just a reminder to everyone that the overnight parking ban is no longer in effect for The City of Winooski.  As of March 15, 2011 you may once again park overnight on the streets.  Please be aware of the signage along the street to indicate the time restrictions.  We want to thank everyone for your cooperation and patience this year during our lot clearings.  February and March have definitely given us plenty of snow to deal.  We now look forward to the longer days and spring weather that is just around the corner.   Think spring.

Parking Information

A reminder to all Woolen Mill resident that you MUST have your parking sticker on your car at all times to park in either parking lots.  The sticker must be placed in the lower left hand corner which will show right above your vehicle identification number.  It is very important that the sticker is attached to the windshield and in the proper location.  Spillanes towing is responsible for both parking lots and will be checking for sticker randomly through out the day and night.  Any vehicle without a sticker will be towed.  It is extremely important that we continually monitor the lots so that all residents will be able to park when they return home.  Towed vehicles will be located at Spillanes and they can be reached at (802) 863-7900.

Fall reminders

As we plunge into Fall we did want to take a moment to remind everyone about a few things.  First for anyone who still have their air conditioners in please contact the office to schedule a time to have it removed.  As we get into the cooler weather having the air conditioner still in will cause heat loss and making heating your apartment more expense.  On that same note if you wish to have our maintenance staff stop by to winterize your windows please call.  Our maintenance staff will be happy to stop by to add a foam insulation rope around the window seals to help eliminate drafts that might occur.  As the winter months and the colder weather set in this additional seal can really make a difference.  Last but not least we do want to again remind everyone that motorcycle parking is no longer available in either parking lot after November 30th so please make arrangements for this.  Remember parking stickers must be properly in place on the lower left hand side of your front windshield at all times. 

Parking Confusion

Once again we find new parking signs posted on West Canal Street.  As of today the two hour parking on West Canal Street has once again gone to 7am to 7pm.  The City of Winooski has changed the parking regulations on West Canal Street again.  We are now back to between the hours of 7am to 7pm there is two hour parking only.  After 7pm it is unlimited parking but watch for this to change again.  We are told by the City that this is temporary and that within the next month or so this will change.  Confused???  I think the key is to always check the green and white signs posted on the side of the street before you park because you never know what it might be.  Winter parking ban will continue to be December 15th through March 31st.

New Parking Signs on West Canal Street

For those of you that have not noticed there are new street parking signs on West Canal Street.  The previous signs have been replaced with new signs and more importantly new times.  The new parking hours are Monday - Friday 7 am to 9 pm, 2 hour parking only.  After 9 pm it is unlimited parking until 7 am.  Parking is unlimited at all times from Weaver Street west on West Canal Street.  Also you can find unlimited parking from East Allen Street north on Weaver Street.  Please remember that both parking lots here at The Woolen Mill are for tenant parking only so if you have visitors please find appropriate parking on the street or in the city parking garage. If you have any questions regarding parking here at The Woolen Mill please contact us.
