That is a good question.  There is an approved development project going on there. It has been years in the making and that parking lot was closed for only private use when the businesses were shut down several years ago.  The navigational route is the only thing that was removed in this edit. There is no removal of the parking lot itself from the map as far as I could tell. That will be removed at some point as they are waiting to tearing it down with the building next to it. Right now the route is closed because the entrance to the parking lot has been recently embedded with a large electrical pole as they've added new lines along that side of the street for the coming development.  They will also remove or tow in any vehicles that they find on their private property.  Also, it has confused others to find a navigational route there as it seemingly provides access to the buildings and residences nearby which it does not as there is a large elevation change and a very tall concrete wall next to the parking lot that prevents any access to anything occupied nearby.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
