This event is in association with the West End Neighborhood Association and is open to all residents of the West End (homeowners and renters). BACKGROUND: The "Block Party / Picnic" was held the last three years on this street. They were roaring successes. There were on excess of 100 •attendees at both events. Neame Street is located on the north side of Fourth Street. The street is short with only seven houses. A representative who lives on Neame personally talked to each homeowner and received verbal approval from all of them to close the street for a picnic again this year. They also said they would not park their cars on the street that day. There have been no problems at the picnics. There is no cost to attendees and the neighborhood association provides most of the food and beverages. The residents bring side dishes to share. There will be entertainment for children who will be supervised. A drawing is attached showing the layout. If approved, I request street barriers for each end of the street from City staff.
