Council adopts street-closure, no-parking resolutions for Oyster Festival

The Urbanna Town Council moved and approved a package of resolutions to implement street closures and traffic restrictions tied to the upcoming Oyster Festival and associated events. Councilors said the resolutions place the town's closures on a legal footing so state police can assist with enforcement during the event.

The package was presented as part of the town's master plan implementation for event traffic control and was approved in a single roll-call motion. Council members asked questions about specific signage and a prior dispute over handicap parking at the marina; staff said they would follow up on logistics and ensure designated accessible parking remains available.
