Reinbeck council approves street closures for RAGBRAI, Fourth of July parade and farmers market
Summary
Council authorized multiple street closings for summer events including RAGBRAI (July 23), the July 4 parade and fireworks, and the seasonal Farmer's Market; precise routes and dates were recorded and motions passed unanimously.
The Reinbeck City Council on May 4 approved several street-closing requests to accommodate summer events. Greg Snider, representing the 4th of July Committee, told the council the parade route will remain unchanged but fireworks staging must be adjusted because a new house was built; the council approved closing Park Street from Folkert's driveway to V Avenue for fireworks. The council also approved the Farmer's Market closure of Broad Street from Highway 175 to Main Street running June 1 through October, and the RAGBRAI route and adaptive‑rider closures for July 23.
Council member Bueghly moved to approve the parade and fireworks street closings, Council member Pease moved the Farmer's Market closure, and Council member Johnson moved to approve the RAGBRAI street closings; each motion passed on unanimous votes. The mayor suggested using county barricades for the Park Street fireworks closing. The approvals include precise closure segments: Broad Street (Hwy 175–Main) for the market and multiple downtown segments for RAGBRAI and adaptive riders.
