Lebanon — on the web:
The traffic plans for the Fourth of July parade and fireworks show is available at www.lebanonpolice.org.
Spectator restrictions and a new no-parking area have been added to the Lebanon Police Department’s traffic plans for the Boone County Fourth of July parade which starts at 2 p.m. Friday.
Spectators must stay behind safety lines that will be painted at certain intersections, LPD Lt. Brent Wheat said.
Parking will be banned along Ulen Drive between North Outer Drive and Grant Street during the parade, he said. Southbound traffic will be diverted from Elizaville Road onto Grant Street. Ulen residents will be allowed to enter and leave the town, Wheat said.
Both decisions are based on safety issues, Wheat said Monday.
At the 2007 parade, many children trying to pick up candy and other items crowded into the street, he said. “It became a safety hazard,” he said.
So many parade spectators have been parking along Ulen Drive that it cut off access to Ulen and Ulen Country Club, he said.
“People will have to find another place to park,” he said.
The parade begins at Lebanon High School, goes north on North Outer Drive, then goes along Ulen Drive, Meridian, Main and East streets before turning east on Essex Drive back to the LHS lot.
Vehicles left on the parade route after 7 a.m. Friday are subject to being towed, Wheat said. Vehicles left on the route after 1:30 p.m. will be impounded.
Spectators parking on side streets are reminded to leave room for emergency vehicles. Fire trucks and ambulances need maneuvering room, Wheat said.
The Lebanon Street entrance to Memorial Park will be open during the parade, which is expected to last about two hours. It will close when the parade ends.
Spectators may not reserve seating along Ulen Drive in Memorial Park before 6 p.m. Thursday.
Police will direct traffic after the 10 p.m. fireworks display at Lebanon Middle School. Motorists are urged to cooperate with police by not driving against the traffic flow, Wheat said.
