Board OKs street closures for Fourth Street Fair Oct. 2–4

A city staff presenter told the Richmond Board of Works and Safety that the annual Fourth Street Fair will take place Oct. 3–4 and requested street closures beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2, running through 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 4. The presenter noted the request had been routed to another department before arriving with the board.

"The dates of the fair are October the 3rd and the 4th, but the street closures are going to be needed to begin on at 400 p.m. on Friday, October the 2nd, and last until 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, October the 4th," the presenter said. The board motioned, seconded and approved the street-closure recommendation by voice vote.

The presenter also said locations where barricades will be needed had been provided to the board; no public comment was recorded on the closures.
