Re: Street Closing for October Historic Hastings Saturday Night Cruise-In on
October 6, 2007
Recommended City Council Action:
Approval to close Second Street East between Vermillion and Tyler Streets on the Saturday,
-- October 6 for one Final Historic Hastings Cruise- tn. Sponsored by the Downtown Business
Association.
Background:
The Downtown Business Association, The Chamber of Commerce, the Historic Hastings Cruise-In
steering committee and volunteers are requesting City Council extend it's approval to close 2nd Street
between Vermillion and Tyler Streets for one final Historic Hastings Cruise- to which is sponsored by
the Downtown Business Association. This final show would be held October 6, from 5 - 10 p.m.
Your approval would close Second Street to general traffic on October 6, from 5 - 10 p.m., from
Vermillion (at the corner of RJ's Tavern, which would allow access up to Third Street) east to Tyler
Street (leaving Tyler open for access to East Hastings.) Emergency vehicles will have access at all
times.
Since it's inception in 2006, The Downtown Business Association's Historic Hastings Saturday Night
Cruise-In has continually grown with each event. It is estimated that during the last few show of 2006,
the event drew over 700 cars and at least 2,500 spectators and has been well received by the shops
and restaurants downtown.
