Byron Veterans Association seeks temporary closure of Veterans Way for Memorial Day block party; board will take second read
Summary
A Byron Veterans Association representative asked the board for a May 24 temporary closure of about 150 feet of Veterans Way (New Lebanon Avenue) for a post-parade block party; the board said it will take a second read after confirming an upstairs resident.
A representative of the Byron Veterans Association requested a temporary closure of Veterans Way (also referred to as New Lebanon Avenue) on May 24 for the organization’s Memorial Day parade and a planned block-party-style gathering.
The representative described the requested closure as about 150 feet from Delivan Avenue to the driveway of one New Lebanon Avenue and said the event would run from about 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., with the parade starting at 2 p.m. He said he had spoken to the nearby business owner (Burger, Shakes & Fries) and had attempted to contact an upstairs resident about moving a car. The representative said refreshments and music would be provided and that alcohol would remain inside the hall.
Board members praised the idea as community-building but said they would take a second read so staff could confirm the upstairs resident and guard against scheduling conflicts with other local ceremonies.
What’s next: The board will revisit the request at a subsequent meeting for formal approval and to confirm logistics.
