I just wanted to note that there was a lot less traffic on the side streets
during the parade on Monday. Last year we had a lot of problems with people
wanting to get across Lexington while the parade was in progress. I think that
the letters that were sent out to the residents stating what streets were going
to be closed did assist those of us who were doing security for the parade.
I also wanted to mention this: if the Police, Reserves, CERT or Sheriff's
Reserves directed your children to stay off the street - this was for good
reason. We had a person have their foot run over by a vehicle and a person get
hit in the head with a flag from one of the marching bands. Please remember
that what the volunteers are doing is for your safety and the safety of those
involved with the parade.
Reminders:
Run for the Roses is on Saturday morning and there will be temporary road
closures and runners/bikers/rollerbladers on the streets.
There will be areas of Central Park closed during the fireworks on the 4th for
safety. Please stay out of the areas that are roped off.
Thanks!
