City of Beacon Closes Beacon Farmer's Market For Predicted Snow Storm
/
In preparation for Sunday’s predicted snowfall, the City of Beacon closed the Beacon Farmer’s Market, located in the DMV parking lot, so that people could park their cars there overnight and into the morning while snow plows cleared the roads.

In an announcement to their followers, the Beacon Farmer’s Market said: “When it snows in Beacon, Main Street parking must be cleared to allow plows to pass through. During these times, public parking lots—like the DMV Lot—are needed for resident parking. With snowfall expected Saturday night into Sunday, the City of Beacon required our market space for this purpose. We’re happy to do our part to help keep Beacon accessible for residents!”
The City of Beacon issued an emergency robo-call to those signed up for the robo-service, reminding people of parking guidelines:
A Beacon highway Department truck plows around the Dummy Light on its way down East Main Street toward Mount Beacon.
“After two inches of snow, your vehicle cannot be parked on the street between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. and must not obstruct City snowplows from clearing the streets. You’re welcome to move your vehicle into the City's public parking lots, but they must be moved 24 hours after the snow stops falling so that the parking lots can then be cleared after the streets are finished. We hope to avoid issuing any tickets for this storm.”
Mayor Lee Kyriacou also reminded residents to clear their sidewalks: "Please also remember that property owners must clear adjacent sidewalks within 24 hours of the snowfall ending. Further, it is both unsafe and a violation of City code to throw snow into the road.”
Meanwhile out on Main Street, most businesses were open. Including the landromat on East Main Street. This is also the location of three hair styling destinations: Horse & Lion, Tikos II, and Sullivan and Main.
