What residents should do on July 4 (before you drive)
- Plan around the 6 a.m.–noon window. If you normally travel through the listed corridors, the City’s street closures are set specifically for the morning hours.
- Use alternate routes during the morning. The City encourages motorists to use alternate routes to avoid delays.
- Build in extra time for the day’s activity. The City also encourages residents to arrive early and allow extra travel time throughout the day.
- For drop-off and pickup near the amphitheater area, match your timing to the parade. Since the parade starts at 9:30 a.m. and the closure window ends at noon, your travel plan may need to account for the busiest morning period.
