Recommendation and Review

Background: EMU will be celebrating their Homecoming and Family Weekend on their campus. EMU is requesting that Park Road, between Mt. Clinton Pike and Parkwood Drive, will be closed from 2-6pm.

 

This application was reviewed and approved by the Special Events Committee on April 16, 2026. 

 

The total cost of this event is estimated to be around $2,500. The event organizer is responsible for payment of applicable charges.

 

Key Issues: 

- PW Support (Barricades, message boards)

- HPD Support (off-duty officers)

- Community Development (stage permitting)

- COI & endorsement will be submitted closer to event date
