Board clears street-closure permits, curb cuts and downtown event requests

The Board of Public Works and Safety approved a series of street permits and curb-cut applications on Sept. 10 for fall events and utility work across the city.

Approvals included a homecoming block party by the Logansport Alumni Association on Sept. 12 (George Street, Stadium Drive to Roselawn), the Cross at the Crossroads fall festival and trick-or-treating on East Broadway in October, and Logan’s Landing events (Scarecrow Row and a Halloween Spooktacular) downtown. The board also approved curb-street-cut applications from QC Communications for boring and line work on Erie Avenue and a larger spring project (Frontier project number 25100604) covering Parkwood, High Street, Kings Mill and Lexington Road.

Street department staff described closures as limited in scope — for example, Cross at the Crossroads would block only a half-block segment between Broadway and the alley — and noted some projects are scheduled for spring next year. Board members moved and unanimously approved the permits and curb-cut applications.

The approvals are administrative and do not change underlying rights-of-way or long-term traffic patterns; individual projects remain subject to the conditions listed on the permits and to contractor coordination with the street department.
