Approved By:
CS Mayor, Approved with Conditions
Approved under the condition that ESMS provide a plan for alerting at least one week in advance of the event all abutters both residential and commercial
/nonprofit to the road closure and activities. Also under the condition that the closure and related street barriers and emergency access plan is approved by
Public Safety.
Albert Bargoot, Approved
Maureen Lee, Approved
Kevin Roche, Approved with Conditions
Construction at 24 Cross Street may be underway prior to ESMS event. Sidewalk and street directly in front of 24 Cross Street may not be available for
staging.
Charles Breen, Approved with Conditions
Use only easily moveable barriers to block the street. Keep the travel lane portion of the street free of obstructions so that emergency vehicles may pass
through if necessary. All vendor set ups should be placed to allow the passage of emergency vehicles if necessary. The document attached to Small Change
brewing's application shows vendors being set up in a zigzag fashion on the street. This would prevent easy passage of emergency vehicles.
