Title
A resolution requesting the closure of streets in downtown Foley for Uptown Halloween on Oct. 29, 2015
Summary
The marketing department requests that council approve road closings for the annual Uptown Foley Halloween Party on Thursday, Oct. 29, 2015, and also approve a hayride. The following roads would be closed from 5:15 P.M. until 8:30 P.M.:
West Laurel Ave. (U.S. 98) from Hwy 59 to Alston Ave., and West Orange Ave. , from Hwy. 59 to Alston Street. And also, Alston Street, from U.S. 98 to Orange Ave.
The department also requests permission to provide a hay ride (a people mover wagon with hay and pumpkins pulled by a tractor) for the children again this year. We are coordinating this with the Foley Police Department and have their approval.
The proposed route for the hay ride is: Ride begins at parking spaces on east side of Alston Street, just south of Gill’s Automotive. The hay wagon will travel down S. Alston to W. Verbena, where it will turn right and continue one block to S. Pine Street. There it will turn right and proceed north on S. Pine Street for two blocks, where it will turn right on W. Orange Ave. From here, it will travel one block east to return to the start position on S. Alston Street.
