Upcoming Monthly Road Closures: The Chamber’s road closure survey offered helpful feedback from more than 350 respondents. The recent road closure increased sales dramatically for shops on Park Avenue, however the blocked roads were a source of confusion to many guests. City and Chamber Communications teams have committed to creating better awareness to amplify impact to businesses and promote future road closures as a dependable package of events.

Upgrading of Bollards at Key Intersections: Updated bollards to replace the wooden barricades currently used would be more attractive, more cost-efficient, sturdier and re-usable, all for a one-time cost of $12,000 - $15,000 per intersection. City staff has identified a system that meets all local and federal guidelines. The proposed investment will be brought to the Commission at their November meeting.
