Beginning May 29, the two-hour public parking lot commonly referred to as the Beacon lot located on Donner Pass Road in downtown Truckee, behind the Beacon gas station, will be closed for construction-related activities.

Two temporary parking lots are being constructed to replace the parking spaces at the Beacon. One is located directly adjacent to the Beacon lot in a northeast direction. The second lot is located approximately 200 yards east of the Beacon lot.

These two temporary lots will still be considered two-hour maximum parking lots. The lots will also be available for employee parking all day with the appropriate employee parking pass and as overnight parking areas.

The changes are necessary during the construction of the railyard project. As the project progresses, there will be more changes to the parking in this area.
