BATTLEFORD — The Battleford Community Spirit Group is planning its annual street fair again on Saturday, Sept. 16, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and requested two possible options for street closures from the Town of Battleford.
Option one: Close 22nd Street from 1st to 3rd Avenue.
Option two: Close 22nd Street from 1st. to 2nd Avene.Then, close 1st Avenue from 22nd to 23rd Street.
“The group is also requesting the use of the town’s barricades, picnic tables, garbage and recycling bins, and to waive any fees for the farmer’s market, direct sellers, and food trucks for the event,” reads a report presented to council by Ryan Mackrell, the town's new community planner.
Council approved the administration's recommendation to accept option one at their July 17 meeting as the town felt that the first option would use significantly fewer barricades and would be logistically easier for the departments.
Letters will be sent out to affected properties, informing residents that the street will be temporarily closed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on that date.
