Currently, they are wanting to do away with all auto-related zoning (car wash, auto mechanics, Auto Zone), except for the businesses currently there. They are inclined to not let any drive-throughs in, and are getting pressured by community members to create comfortable and safe bike lanes. The Mayor is inclined to have the bike lanes be on the future Rail Trail. Some community members are pushing back against new storage facilities. The discussion overall is curating what types of businesses can open there, and where parking will be in relation to neighboring homes. Let your voice be heard by participating in the feeedback discussion following the presentation.   New Community Soup Kitchens In Beacon FRIDAYS: Fareground's Free Community Dinner Day/Time: Fridays, 5:30pm-7:30pm Location: First Presbyterian, 50 Liberty Street, Beacon, NY 12508 Information > Volunteer > Donate >   Free Breakfast Program Day: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays Time: 6:30am-8:30am Location: 12 Hanna Lane, Beacon, NY 12508 Information >   Features from our Sponsors.
