Presented By: Erin Johnson, Events Manager, HDR
Recommendation and Review
HDR is requesting the closure Main Street between the hours of 2:00pm-3:00pm for the annual Veterans Parade. The following street closures/parking lot closures are required:
• Main St (from MLK-Gay) + side roads: Bruce from Liberty to Federal (with access to Water St. parking deck); Newman from Main to Federal; Water Street from Liberty to Federal (with access to Water St. parking deck); Wolfe St. (Main to Liberty); Rock Street (Main to Liberty); Gay St. (Main to Noll)
• Court Square, Graham St, adjoining section of Market St.
• Closure of City Hall lot; portion of Municipal Lot/Turner Pavilion parking; Newman Ave lots; Rockingham County Admin lot
1,500 participants and spectators total.
Key Issues:
-HPD support (15 officers)
-Public Works support (9 staff for: street closures, no parking signage, refuse collection, sweeper)
-Impact on HPTP routes
-HFD support (Engine, access to FCDs, 20’ft fire line along closed streets)
