Any individual or group who wishes to have a party
for their block must first seek authorization from the Department of
Engineering. Following are some facts that apply to all block parties:
- Everyone living on the block must be invited.
- The applicant must be 18 years old or older
and be willing to be present and responsible for the party.
- All city ordinances and laws must be observed
during the party.
- For safety reasons, the street can only be
closed until dusk.
- Closing the street for the party must not
interfere with access to local businesses.
- Barricades to set up the street closing are
available at the Department of Engineering Sign Shop at 521 Water
Street. The organizer must pick up and return the barricades.
The
Block Party Request form is available through this web site, by
calling the Department of Engineering at 788-4160 for a fax copy to be
sent, or by visiting the Department of Engineering on the 4th floor of
City Hall. We require the date of the party (and rain date if
applicable), the time for the party, the street to be blocked and the
streets at each end of the block.
