Curbside pickup extended in Vernon

Temporary curbside pickup locations in downtown Vernon will continue for another three months.

The free, 10-minute curbside zones were offered in December in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

They were created so customers of restaurants and other businesses could make a quick stop to pick up purchases.

The pilot project was slated to end Feb. 27, but because of “overwhelmingly positive feedback,” the program has now been extended to May 31, a city news release said.
