Julie Bercik of NBC 29 reports : Buckingham Branch Railroad blocked-off a parking lot in Crozet Friday afternoon that has been used by people there for a generation. It came as a shock to business owners who thought there was still time to work out an agreement for the spaces. Thursday night business owners were offered a contract by BBRR, which leases the property, spelling out everything they need to do if they want to continue parking in “The Square.” … Bianca Spinosa at the Newsplex : Officials with the Buckingham Branch Railroad and Crozet Square business owners had their first opportunity to talk face-to-face Friday afternoon.
