Council approves neighborhood block party on Sixth Street
Summary
Council approved a resident request to close a short block of Sixth Street for a neighborhood block party Sept. 13 (about 4:00–7:30 p.m.), with a food truck, modest amplified music and a request for city barricades; staff will coordinate event details.
A resident asked the council to close a short stretch of Sixth Street (between Short Cunningham and the church/Mulberry) for a neighborhood block party on Saturday, Sept. 13, roughly 4:00–7:30 p.m. The organizer said the event would draw about 50 people, include a food truck and low‑level amplified music and that church facilities would be available for restroom use.
Council and staff discussed whether barricades would be provided. The resident said cones might suffice but that a barricade would be preferable; staff said applicants must complete an event form and that they would coordinate with Don and Brian on any barricade needs. Council indicated approval of the request during the meeting.
Why it matters: the decision is a routine neighborhood event approval but illustrates the city's event permitting process and coordination between residents and staff.
Next steps: staff will confirm the event form details and coordinate barricade placement and any site logistics with the organizer.
