Agenda Item

Discuss and consider closing Pine Bluffs Trail from Buccaneer to Greybull, on Oct. 31st, 2011 from 6:00 p.m - 10:00 p.m. for Halloween block party and consider loaning cones and barricades.

Background

Constituent is requesting permission to close their street to vehicles on the evening of Halloween, October 31, 2010, from 6pm to 10pm. The county has approved their requests every year for the last few years. The request is for a residential street in Milwood: Pine Bluffs Trail (78729), from Buccaneer to Greybull. Pine Bluffs Trail is only one block long, and over 1 dozen babies and children live on the street. Only one side the street has a sidewalk and that sidewalk does not extend for the entire block. A street closure would allow street residents and their neighbors in the surrounding area to trick or street safely and would make it easier for parents with strollers to enjoy the evening. There will not be any formal festivities, just a safe street with no cars. Karen Wolman has discussed this with her neighbors and they are in agreement that this would benefit the neighborhood and that 6pm - 10pm would cause minimal inconvenience to residents. As they are only one block long, they are the logical street to host this. They are happy to purchase additional candy and other treats to accommodate the increased foot traffic. We would drop off the barricades and cones on the Friday prior to Halloween and pick up them up the following Monday. This has been routed through the counties road closure process and was approved by all. We would recommend court approval. The contact for this closure is: Karen Dale Wolman 7000 Pine Bluffs Trail Austin, TX 78729 512-258-6853: home office 954-993-4025: cell kdw954@austin.rr.com
