The Fremont Police Department has issued a special event permit to the Niles Main Street Association for the 50th Annual Niles Antique Fair and Flea Market this Sunday, August 31, 2014 from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Several roads will be impacted by the event and closed for several hours.
CLOSED on Sunday, August 31, 2014 from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.:
- Niles Blvd. (between J St. and G St.)
- F St., G St., H St. and I St. (between Second St. and Niles Blvd.)
If you live within this area, please move your vehicle accordingly before Sunday morning. Once the event begins no vehicular traffic will be allowed in or out until the roads re-open.
The Niles Town Plaza parking lots will close Saturday evening (8/30) at 7 p.m. All roads and lots will reopen no later than 6 p.m. on Sunday.
Several roads in the Niles District have been posted with 72-hour "No Parking" notices. This includes some of the narrower roads throughout historic Niles to help allow for public safety vehicles to have emergency ingress and egress access throughout the neighborhood. Fremont Police will be on-site beginning shortly after midnight to authorize the tow of vehicles left on the posted roads.
The fee to pick up a towed vehicle the following day, ranges from $400 - $600, and can be higher if left at the tow yard for multiple days. The closures are necessary to get vendors in and unpacked before the early morning crowd arrives.
Fremont Police staff will be on-site throughout the duration of the event to monitor and enforce parking complaints. Vehicles parked in front of driveways, fire hydrants and ADA accessible ramps (sidewalks/corners) will be cited and possibly towed.
This event brings in several thousand people and vehicles to the small town of Niles and pedestrian safety is a high priority for police. As a friendly reminder we'd like to caution all drivers and residents to obey traffic and parking laws.
Handicapped parking can be found on the south side of J Street and on Niles Boulevard close to the corner of J Street.
