Public Works

The ordinance implements alternate side parking requirements for vehicles parked on city streets and in the bulb (circular part) of cul-de-sacs from November 1 to April 1. Seasonal parking requirements are in effect regardless of the weather forecast or if there is snow and ice on the roadways.

During this single‑day closure, vehicle traffic will be detoured around the intersection. At least one sidewalk on each side of Broadway Avenue is expected to remain open for pedestrians. 

Construction activities will begin ramping up in the coming days with equipment staging, a controlled drawdown of the lake and temporary trail closures for the safety of park users. 

Saturday, October 24 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at the City of Rochester Maintenance Center (580 44th St. NE, Rochester).

At 7 p.m. on October 7, the vacated street will close permanently to all traffic as construction in the area advances.

Registration is open!
