BACKGROUND:
North Central College will host its annual Homecoming Parade on Saturday, October 21, 2017.
DISCUSSION:
The route for the North Central College Homecoming Parade is depicted on the attached map. Approximately 200 people are expected to attend this annual event. The parade route streets will be closed intermittently beginning at approximately 11:00 a.m. until approximately 1:30 p.m. The streets of the parade route are opened to vehicular traffic as soon as the Naperville Police Department determines it appropriate, based on public safety.
Intermittent closures of Chicago Avenue are required. To manage this, the floats and participants are spaced to allow the Naperville Police Department to close Chicago Avenue for short intervals to allow for safe crossing. This method has been successfully implemented in previous years.
Only temporary road closures will apply for this event.
Staff will post informational signs along the parade route beginning Monday, October 16, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
North Central College will be billed for all City services required to support this event.
