RE: Road Closure for Homecoming Parade (U.S. Route 30/Illinois Rt. 726)
Dear Mr, Kos:
The Village of Plainfield would like to request a closure of US Route 30 and the
southbound lane of Route 59 at Newkirk for the 515L Plainfield High School Homecoming Parade,
scheduled for Saturday, September 28, 2002, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
The parade route will start at the high school (Ft. Beggs and James Streets), and proceed
north to Lockport Street (U.S. Rt. 30), east on Lockport to Illinois St., then south on Illinois to
Commercial Street, east on Commercial to Illinois Rt, S9, south on Rt. 59 to Newkirk, west on
Newkirk to Pratt, then Pratt back to the high school.
Route 30 eastbound traffic will be detoured onto Route 126, then east to Route 59, south
an Rt. 59 to Routes 59/30 junction. Route 30 westbound traffic will be detoured north on Route 59
to IL Rt. 126, then west on Rt. 126 to Rt. 30. Route 59 southbound traffic will be detoured/stopped
to allow the parade to leave Commercial and swing onto Newkirk. Route 59 northbound traffic
will not be affected. We will place parade detour signs on all roads affected by the parade, and
physically have police officers at key points to ensure positive direction of motorists.,
Signed copies of the Resolution and Certification will be forwarded upon their execution at
the September 9, 2002 meeting of the Village Board. As always, thank you for your help in
handling our requests for highway closures.
Sincerely,
