Information for Downtown Residents:
The Town of Chapel Hill will make every effort to keep people who are attending the event from parking in downtown neighborhoods. Access to neighborhoods will be limited by barricades and police personnel at the roads leading into neighborhoods. This will begin early in the evening. Residents of the neighborhoods, and guests of residents, will be able to drive in and out of the enclosed area. Residents should tell the officer at the barricade their address.  Illegally parked vehicles (even of residents & guests) will be ticketed and towed. Traffic will be congested and getting past the barricades may be a slow process. Please plan accordingly.
