Parking Pro Tips For Spirit Of Beacon Day - Free Parking At MTA Train Station + Free Bus
/
For those of you coming in for the Spirit of Beacon Day, here are some parking pro-tips to make parking smooth for everyone. There are many side streets in Beacon, and while people regularly park in them, things can get particularly crowded on a Sunday when there are churches in session and a big event happening. Residents need to get out from their driveways, and fire-hydrants need to be honored for safety.
Parking Pro Tips:
Give generous room to a driveway. Don’t scoot to the edge of a driveway. That homeowner or renter can’t turn out of their driveway if you have edged too close.
Respect the fire-hydrants. Don’t park in front of a fire hydrant. Obviously! But some people still do it. Just don’t. You might just get a note on your car, or a civilian photo sent to the police.
Park at the MTA Train Station! It is free on the weekends. A Free Bus runs every 25 mins for the Spirit of Beacon Day from 11am-4:30pm to bring you up to Main Street and down to the Train Station. If you’re walking, you will walk past Two Way Brewery. Stop in for a beer and a board game!
Really don’t park in front of someone’s driveway. That’s just silly.
Homeowners: Please be tolerant if the side street parking wave reaches you. We’re all allowed to park in front of your house, we’ll just all be mindful.
Park as close to the curb as you can. This makes a difference for people turning out of their driveways.
Main Street will be partially closed between Key Food (S. Brett Street) and Yankee Clipper Diner (Fishkill/Teller Avenue). Keep this in mind as you navigate around Beacon.
