Parade bottleneck prompts traffic-control suggestion; baby contest notifications to be improved
Summary
Committee members identified a parade bottleneck at 800 East and suggested traffic-signal adjustments or temporary traffic control; staff agreed to improve baby contest signage and to notify participants of results by email or through festival organizers.
A committee member reported a traffic bottleneck during the parade near 800 East and 800 South and suggested placing a traffic officer or setting the signal to blinking red when police staffing is limited. "It caused a long backup… it would help if they're short on manpower to turn all those lights on a blinking red," the committee member said (Committee member, SEG 1415–1431).
On the baby contest, staff acknowledged social-media confusion and agreed to notify all entrants by email and to consider turning the notification process over to the festival organizer to ensure consistent results announcements. "We should email everybody and say thank you for participating… winners have been notified," staff suggested (Staff member, SEG 1747–1752). The committee agreed to add clearer signage and additional volunteer support for loading participants into the baby contest queue.
