Organizers to publish pedestrian maps, credential forms and deploy temporary cell gear ahead of Concord 250
Summary
Officials said pedestrian-friendly maps and printable PDFs will be available early next week, urged businesses to sign up for email notices and said carriers are deploying temporary equipment to improve cell service downtown during the April 19 events.
Event staff told downtown merchants that printable pedestrian maps, a credentials survey and frequent email updates will be distributed ahead of the Concord 250 events, and that cellular carriers are installing temporary equipment to improve coverage.
"If you are kind of overwhelmed by all this information, go to conquer250.org. There's a banner on the top. If you click on that, that goes to the town site that has all these answers," a town staff member said. The presenter said a pedestrian-friendly map will be ready early next week and that organizers will distribute a printable brochure and poster versions for stores.
Donna, the town's public information officer, said the committee will re-send the staff/parking survey and urged merchants to subscribe to the town's "Concord 250 stay connected" list so they receive updates. She also said MMTV would post a recording of the meeting and staff would re-send all event materials to attendees.
On connectivity, organizers said AT&T was setting up a temporary cell site and Verizon planned two trucks to increase capacity; T-Mobile had scheduled upgrades to local infrastructure. Officials cautioned that temporary gear may improve voice service but could be limited for cellular data usage during peak crowding.
Organizers urged businesses to check that the town has a correct email contact and to post printed maps for customers who may not have reliable mobile data on event day.
