Comments
Next year pleeease plan for thru traffic for those who had no idea the parade was going on. The backlog on side streets was unbearable and people were livid, blinding one another with headlights, calling names and honking horns because there was no way around the parade. Organizers did not provide any alternate traffic route around 209 or any detour signs to help unfamiliar travelers during this parade which took place in total darkness. 209 was open on the west end and closed on the east??? Why allow people to drive right into parade traffic with no way out? And children sitting in the dark right on the side of the street and vendors walking in the middle of the road. This was dangerous! Unbelievably disorganized and poorly planned on this aspect. Whoever is responsible HAS to be more careful next year.
