The board approved a special event request to close parts of downtown for the annual Monster Mash on the Wabash.
Nolan Wilhite, president of the Downtown Lafayette Business Owners Association, asked the board to close Main Street from Sixth to Eighth streets for the event and to close Sixth Street from the alley behind the Lafayette Theater to the parking lot across from the Long Center to connect the Cops and Goblins event for safer trick-or-treating. "This event includes trick or treating downtown, a hollow market, some food trucks, and some vendors," Wilhite said.
The board chair confirmed that required neighbor letters had been obtained and that event details were in order. A motion to approve the special event request was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The transcript does not specify the date of the Monster Mash event, estimated attendance, or traffic-control details beyond the requested street closures; city staff and the Downtown Lafayette Business Owners Association appear to have coordinated required notifications.
