The Statesman reports:Traffic on two additional downtown blocks will be stopped tonight for First Wednesday back to school events, officials said.It's free! That's how Summer in the City should have been.
The closures will be:
Commercial Street, from Chemeketa to Court streets, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Court Street, from Front to Commercial streets, from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Chemeketa Parkade will still be available for parking, Salem Public Works officials said.
Go enjoy a fine summer's evening! Cheer on the kids! Drink some beer!
So that's what's going on? Here I thought it was another paving nightmare like the one broadway turned into.
ReplyDeleteNext summer will be the summer of downtown paving nightmares! Commercial, Church, & High are all scheduled for grinding and tar.
ReplyDeleteDidn't see many people out last night...did you?
I didn't actually make it into downtown. We were just getting back from a day at the coast and seeing the street closures we went around. We figured we were avoiding a nightmare, not avoiding a festival :P
