The Upton Police Department have issued a traffic and parking advisory for those attending the 2015 Upton Fireworks Display this Saturday, June 20th, at Blackstone Valley Tech. H.S. on Pleasant Street.
NO Traffic will be permitted on Pleasant Street for 30 minutes following fireworks
“At the conclusion of the fireworks display, NO traffic will be permitted to enter Pleasant Street (from Maple Avenue or Mendon Street) for approximately 30 minutes. This is to effectively allow vehicles to exit the area without creating a gridlock situation. There will be a high volume of traffic attempting to leave the area at the same time, so delays can be expected.
It is suggested that parents picking up their children after the event have a predetermined meeting location, and be aware of the delay in entering Pleasant Street.”
Parking
“When parking in the area, please check to make sure you are not violating any parking restrictions and that emergency vehicles of all sizes will be able to pass in the event of an emergency. Vehicles are subject to fines and being towed if they are found to pose a hazard to public safety.”
Watch out for Pedestrians
“There will be a large amount of pedestrians throughout the day in the area. Please slow down and use extreme caution. A police officer will be near the entrance gate (across from Henry’s Path) to assist pedestrians cross Pleasant Street safely.”
The Upton Police thank the public for their cooperation in making this an enjoyable event each year. For more information about the event, please see this post Upton Daily.
