A permitted event will temporarily impact traffic around the Square today, a Facebook post said. The post warned of brief closures along the Courthouse Square inner circle near City Hall and urged motorists to plan accordingly.
Permitted events commonly require temporary lane or street closures to allow for staging, equipment and crowd management. Downtown squares and plazas frequently host markets, parades, ceremonies and other gatherings that can affect adjacent streets and parking.
Drivers should allow extra travel time, consider alternate routes and follow posted signs and directions from traffic control personnel. Public transit riders may experience minor delays; commuters who can shift travel times or park outside the immediate area can help ease congestion.
Details about the event organizer, duration of closures and detour routes were not provided in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
