All members voted in favor. Communication from Councilmembers Bullock and Litten regarding alternate July 4 th Parade Route. (Referred to Public Safety Committee 7/15/19) Councilmember Bullock remarked that from his perspective, the new parade route went very well this year and that residents were happy with the change. He advocated for the parade to alternate routes every year unless there is a public safety or logistical reason not to. Fire Marshall Dunphy stated that there is no public safety objection to the alternate route, except that the Fire Department should be placed early in the parade line up in case they need to respond during the parade. Ms. Garrett spoke to the logistics concerns with alternating routes. She identified no major logistical problems but remarked that Nicholson ended up being busier than anticipated and that police will plan to close it off earlier than they did this year. Several councilmembers voiced support for the change, making the parade more accessible to Birdtown and Gold Coast neighborhoods. The Committee discussed if this agreement should be codified by a communication, resolution, or floor discussion. It was noted that the current parade route is not codified in the ordinances. Future Public Works projects could potentially interfere again with either of these routes.
