Council OKs Strawberry Fest and Farmers Market road closures; market to move to East Union Street for two seasons
Loading...
Summary
The council approved street closures for Strawberry Fest and July Fourth events and granted seasonal road-closure permission to move the Saturday Farmers Market from Fulton Street to East Union Street for up to two years to accommodate Fulton Street work.
Jeff, representing the Chamber of Commerce, presented updated maps and logistics for Strawberry Fest and Fourth of July street closures and said businesses and public-safety staff raised no objections. The council approved the closure requests for the events as presented.
Separately, Farmers Market organizer Ryan Brown described plans to relocate the Saturday market from Fulton Street to East Union Street for the upcoming season and possibly for two years while Fulton Street work is anticipated. Vendors identified manageable concerns about narrower loading/unloading space; organizers said they will conduct site logistics in the coming weeks to finalize spacing. Council approved seasonal road closures on East Union Street for the Saturday market during the summer.
Staff emphasized coordination with police, public works and market vendors to address logistics and safety. The move also allows the market to adapt to temporary Fulton Street construction expected in the near term.
