Board approves short‑term street closures for downtown events and Lebanon High homecoming parade

The Lebanon Board of Works approved multiple short‑term street closures Sept. 8 to accommodate downtown events and the Lebanon High School (LHS) homecoming parade.

Staff covered a request from CluesBruise to close the half‑block between Meridian and E Street — from the north–south crosswalk on the east side of the Washington/Meridian intersection to the north–south alley behind the restaurant — on two dates: Sept. 10 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. for a Discover Boone County event, and Sept. 27 from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. to accommodate multiple reunions and graduations. The board approved those closures as presented.

Separately, LHS requested a rolling street closure for the homecoming parade on Friday, Sept. 19, with the parade beginning at 4:30 p.m. Representatives (identified as Sarah and Addie in the record) described the planned route; the board moved to approve the rolling closure for the parade and voted in favor.

The approvals were routine event street‑closure authorizations; the board did not add conditions on the record beyond the times and locations presented. City staff will coordinate traffic control and notification for the events.
