Council approves temporary closure of Church Street for H Street design event
Summary
The borough council approved closing the 800 block of Church Street between 8th and 9th Streets on Sept. 26, 2025, from 4 to 7 p.m., expanding the footprint of the H Street Design Charette to include the block; supporters said it adds safety measures for the event.
Borough council voted to approve a temporary closure of the 800 block of Church Street so organizers of the H Street Design Charette can expand the event footprint on Friday, Sept. 26, 2025, from 4 to 7 p.m.
Speaker 5 moved to "approve the expanded footprint for the H Street Design Charette on Friday, 09/26/2025 on Church Street between 8th And 9th Streets from 4 to 7PM," and the motion was seconded and adopted by voice vote. Speaker 7 described the closure as an added safety measure "for the people doing that thing at the intersection," and said parallel streets would remain open so local traffic would still be able to cross Church Street.
The council chair called for all in favor to say "aye," and the motion carried without a recorded roll-call tally.
Organizers and staff did not provide a written permit summary on the record during this discussion; council members indicated the closure is for a short window and discussed traffic impacts only briefly. No public opposition was recorded during the meeting and the item was handled as an added action to the agenda.
Next steps recorded by staff: event organizers will proceed with the planned closure; the council did not add conditions or set a follow-up date for further restrictions.
