Board approves one-block closure for surprise 60th birthday on Aug. 29
Summary
The Peru Board of Public Works approved a request by Rebecca Baker to close East Fifth Street (Ash to Lee) on Aug. 29, 2026, for a surprise 60th-birthday party with a small band, a jumpy house and food; neighbors provided signed support and barricade arrangements were confirmed.
Rebecca Baker told the board Aug. 18 that she requested a partial closure of East Fifth Street from Ash Street to Lee Street for a surprise 60th birthday on Aug. 29, 2026. She said neighbors had signed in support, the planned activities included a small band and a jumpy house for children, and she understood a clear lane for emergency vehicles would be preserved; a board member moved to approve the closure and the motion carried.
Board members asked Baker to ensure barricade placement allows emergency access; Todd was asked to provide barricades and a waiver was said to be on file. The approved closure was ordered for 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Aug. 29, 2026, to allow set-up earlier in the day and to accommodate the surprise timing.
