Select Board approves road closures for UCS Super Hero 5K and a Union Street block party
Summary
The board approved a road closure for United Counseling Service's Super Hero 5K on Nov. 7, 2026 (subject to police approval) and a Union Street block party on Aug. 9, approving revised closure limits and times after organizer clarifications; one board member opposed the block party approval.
The Select Board approved two event road-closure requests. First, it approved the United Counseling Service Super Hero 5K planned for Nov. 7, 2026, subject to final police approval and event requirements; staff said the Chief and Lieutenant are comfortable with the public safety plans and suggested rolling closures.
Second, a coalition of residents and community organizations requested a Union Street block party on Aug. 9. Organizer Tess Cleary described a closure from Silver Street to Hamlin (noon–6 p.m.). The board amended the written request to match the clarified limits and approved the closure subject to final police review; the vote carried with one opposed. Staff will require organizers to provide final plans and to distribute notice to affected residents.
