City approves procession and event permits, defers downtown cruise-night route pending traffic review; approves Sweet Glee vendor permit
Hammond City approved a series of event and right-of-way permits, including a street closure for a Corpus Christi procession and a request from Purdue University Northwest to hold outdoor movie nights, while deferring a proposed extended route for Downtown cruise nights until organizers meet with police.

The board approved a request from Saint Margaret Mary Church to close streets for a Corpus Christi procession on June 22 for approximately 45 minutes with HPD approval. The council also approved requests to host outdoor movies at Commencement Field on dates in June, July, August and Sept. 22, 2025; Brian Miller, director of public safety at Purdue University Northwest, submitted that request.

A request from Aubrey Zelinka to close Fayette Street for Downtown Hammond cruise nights drew questions about access to a bank parking lot and resident entrances; the council deferred that item to the next meeting so police (Captain Bonner) and organizers could resolve access concerns. The board approved a graduation street closure request for Tapper Street from Eaton to Drakert on June 21 and several right-of-way repair permits (Chicago Street 1300 block; Memorial Park at 5927 Wallace Road).

The council approved a mobile food vendor permit for Sweet Glee after the operator described hours (2 p.m.–7 p.m.), continuous movement (a small truck), and sales (ice cream). The board reminded the vendor of ordinance limits on stopping/parking, proximity to corners and brick-and-mortar businesses, and required display of the permit sticker. The vendor's permit passed with a motion to approve and a recorded 'aye.'
