Memorandum <br /> <br />Police Department <br /> <br />TO: Pat Klaers/City Administrator <br />FROM: Assistant Chief Beah~ <br />DATE: 08-07-00 <br /> <br />RE: Request to close Main Street <br /> <br />I attended a meeting of the Downtown Association and they have made a request to close Main Street <br />at King and Jackson. This would take place on August 16th from 5:30pm until 9:00pm. It would allow <br />cars that are part of the last "Cruise" night to park along Main. Last time they did this they ran out of <br />room. They expect between 2-300 cars. (4-500 people) <br /> <br />They would need 6-barriacades and 12-cones from Public Works to facilitate keeping the entry to the <br />bank open for drive-up customers. <br /> <br />The downtown association voted on this closing, and all were in favor of the closing as the <br />tremendous influx of people is great for all their business. They have asked that we have a motorcycle <br />and a bike officer stop by the event to introduce/promote these programs. We have staff on hand that <br />night that could provide those visits. <br /> <br />They have volunteers that would direct the cars to the proper parking locations. Detour would be very <br />easy - traffic would take the one block loop out to Hwy. 10 and back again. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
