Owner Phaedra Lee said she was surprised when Daytona Beach police swarmed in last Wednesday to order her to remove her outdoor stage, tents, tables, seating and merchandise displays. They gave us one hour to remove everything, all under the pretense of not being allowed (in) the Bike Week Master Plan. We were not allowed to be included, she said.
Lee said she is being unfairly singled out. But the city cited Main Street Station during last year s Bike Week for failing to comply with an order for all outdoor music, vending and bars to cease on the final weekend of the event because of COVID-19. The business was fined and barred from having any outdoor activities during this year s Bike Week.
