One of the suburban Rochester Department of Motor Vehicles offices will be closing starting Monday for several weeks.
It’s the Irondquoit DMV, one of the older DMV offices in the county. It will still be located in a plaza on Titus Avenue, but it’s being moved to a different space, one that County Clerk Jamie Romeo said can be better for customers and the entire process.
She said some major renovations are needed for the decades-old facility, especially when it comes to information technology.
“We know that the (New York) state DMV has been trying to make some upgrades and moving just the whole operation of state DMV forward,” noted Romeo, “and we need to make sure that we’re ready to be able to take that on when it starts coming down to the county run DMVs as well.”
Rome said that the new layout will also be more accessible.
“Whether we're looking at adequate space for waiting, although we're still trying to reduce the waits.,” said Romeo. “But just from not having church pews to ADA, (Americans with Disability Act) height counter…or at cashier stations, those are all things that we're trying to take into consideration.”
Romeo said that other local DMV offices will still have their regular hours and there will be additional opportunities to use the county’s mobile DMV office.
The Irondequoit DMV is expected to reopen in mid-May.
