Board approves street closures, signage for Swiss Days festival

The Board of Public Works and Safety approved the street-closure list and temporary signage documentation for the annual Swiss Days event during its July 15 meeting in Berne.

The Chair introduced the item, saying the closures are the same streets used in previous years. A committee member moved to approve the closure list and the temporary sign documentation “as presented;” the Chair seconded and the motion passed by voice vote.

Board members confirmed that most streets will be closed Wednesday morning at 5:30 a.m., with a few closures beginning later in the week. No public opposition or additional conditions were recorded during the discussion.

The decision allows event organizers to place temporary signage and proceed with the planned closures under the terms presented to the board. The board then moved on to other agenda items and later adjourned.
