Special Event Permits

Items to be addressed are as follows:

• A petition must be obtained from the persons or businesses affected by the closure, indicating whether they are in agreement or not. The application form must be filled out well in advance of holding the event.
• Part of the approval process involves checking to see if the particular request will affect the bus route system, does the request involve any one way streets, etc.
• Once approval is given, the application is processed and arrangements are made to have barricades dropped off at an agreed location and set up by the applicant prior to the event.
• Even though traffic will generally be non-existent, anything deposited on the street (barbeques, seating, etc.) must be readily movable to allow emergency vehicles access if required.
• All liquor regulations must be strictly adhered to.
• The event must end no later than sunset.
• The fee for this permit is $50.00 (free of charge for non-profit organizations).

(The fee schedule may change from time to time and will supersede all rates indicated.)
