Facility Overview
4100 Sheridan Drive Parking serves the prominent commercial and professional corridor located along Route 324 in Amherst, New York (serving the greater Buffalo and Williamsville metropolitan area). This facility consists of an expansive, ground-level open-air surface parking lot that provides straightforward, ground-level access for visitors, clients, and medical patients visiting local professional suites, corporate offices, and nearby retail hubs. Because it is a flat, unobstructed outdoor lot, there are no low-hanging overhead barriers or vertical clearance limits, making it fully accessible not only to standard sedans and sports cars but also to full-size SUVs, extended-cab pickup trucks, commercial service vehicles, and high-roof transport vans.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During winter months in Western New York, active snow removal crews plow and salt the lot; take extra caution during heavy lake-effect snowfalls and allow distance between parked vehicles. Peak occupancy generally occurs between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays during standard business hours. When exiting onto Sheridan Drive during evening peak traffic, utilizing signalized intersections at adjacent cross streets can help drivers turn safely across multi-lane roadways.
