Council approves street closure for American Legion Old Settlers Parade
Summary
The council approved a street-closing permit for the American Legion Old Settlers Parade with traffic‑control plans including hard barricades at key intersections and soft barricades elsewhere.
The Mooresville Town Council approved a street‑closure permit on June 3 for the American Legion Old Settlers Old Settlers Parade, including requested barricade placements at main intersections.
Parade representative John discussed barricade placement and typical past practice, saying the route has used Maine Street for roughly 40 years and that the town traditionally places barricades at Harrison & Indiana, Jefferson and other approach streets to divert traffic. Council members and the representative discussed use of water barriers, soft barricades and police cars for intersection control; the council approved the street closure motion by voice vote.
Staff asked the parade representative to complete remaining sign‑in requirements and to coordinate with the town for barricades and officer assignment. The council recorded the motion to approve the street‑closure permit and indicated standard public‑safety measures will be in place during the event.
