Spectrum Festival traffic plan faces Sixth Avenue closure
The public works committee rejected a request to close Sixth Ave SE between First and Second Streets for the Spectrum Festival on Saturday June 2. City officials say closing Sixth would disrupt buses. First Street closure remains for the beer garden and a police escort may be arranged to control downtown traffic during events. The festival runs three days with raft and canoe events moved to local ponds due to high water.
