Board approves street-closure resolutions for Waterball Fight and Hometown USA parade; narrows Jefferson no-parking window
Summary
Board approved a June 30 street-closing resolution for the Madison Regatta Waterball Fight and an amended July 3 Hometown USA parade resolution that shortens a Jefferson no-parking window from noon to 3 p.m. and adds Craigmont (2nd–3rd) to no-parking list.
The Board approved two event-related resolutions on June 15 that set street closures and no-parking zones for upcoming summer events.
Staff read Resolution 2026-25B to close Main Street (Poplar–Elm) and Broadway (2nd–3rd) for the Madison Regatta Waterball Fight on June 30; the board approved the item with no changes.
Next, staff presented Resolution 2026-26B to authorize street closings for the Hometown USA parade on July 3. Katie Edens, the parade organizer, reviewed staging and timing and asked that a short Craigmont segment be included to support departure at the end of the route. The board discussed business impacts from prolonged no-parking windows on Jefferson Street and moved to amend the resolution: the no-parking start time on Jefferson (the staging area) was changed from noon to 3:00 p.m., and Craigmont between 2nd and 3rd was added as a no-parking zone. The amended resolution passed by voice vote.
Police and street departments will coordinate signage and staging; staff said no-parking signage may be posted in advance to give businesses notice.
