The Kiwanis Club of Lewiston, following consultations with Chris Salada, chief of the Lewiston Police Department, has issued the following parking and traffic advisories for the annual Peach Festival.

•Handicapped accessible parking is available in the Tops Market parking lot. From Center Street turn left on South Ninth Street and enter the Tops parking lot on the left. Handicapped accessible parking is also located on Center Street along the north side of the festival grounds between Eighth and Ninth streets.

•General parking can be found on nearby village streets in the vicinity of Academy Park where the festival is held. New measures will be instituted this year to make street parking options more understandable for festival patrons.

•Parking is also available in the Messiah Lutheran Church parking lot on Oneida Street. From Center Street turn right on North Ninth Street. Take the second right onto Oneida Street and proceed to the end of the street to the parking lot. The lot is in reasonable walking distance to the festival, about 1/3 mile.

Festival visitors are advised to consider alternate routes into and out of the village to avoid the traffic on Center Street during peak times (Friday dinner hour, Saturday morning 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Saturday dinner time).

In about one and 1/2 miles turn left onto Mohawk Street.

(Pletcher Road can also be accessed from the southbound Robert Moses Parkway from points north of Pletcher Road)
