Council green-lights second reading to close Grove Street for outdoor dining and music
Summary
The council approved a second-reading street closure to support scheduled outdoor dining and live music events on Grove Street across designated weekends in May–August; the motion passed on roll-call affirmation by council members present.
During the second reading of agenda item 4C the council considered a request to close Grove Street from Willard's Alley to East Church Street for specified weekend outdoor dining and live music events across dates in May through August. The item described multiple weekend dates and listed event hours with music ending by 11 p.m.
Council took a motion on the second reading and proceeded to a roll-call vote. The clerk’s spoken roll call recorded affirmative responses from council members present (as captured in the transcript: 'Council member Alexander,' 'Council member Brannon,' 'Council member Frazier,' 'Council member Conflict?,' 'Council member Stevenson,' and 'Mayor Long') and the motion advanced.
The transcript records this as a second reading; the council noted the motion and, per the item’s language, the requested street closures will be effective on the listed event dates if the usual administrative and public-safety arrangements (traffic/parking control and police coordination) are completed.
Next steps: final administrative approval and traffic/parking control by the police chief and staff as needed before each event date.
