MONROE - In a meeting Monday, the City of Monroe Public Safety Committee:
- Reviewed and recommended approval of Main Street Monroe Cars on the Square, June 8 and Aug. 3; Monroe Area Rebel Soccer Dribble Across Wisconsin fundraiser event, June 8; Monroe Balloon Rally, Inc. Monroe Balloon Rally June 15-16; and Colony Brands Monroe Badger Days, June 18.
As part of the Monroe Main Street special event application, committee members, other aldermen and event organizers discussed events taking place more often on certain sides of the Square, particularly the north side, blocking both lanes of traffic in those areas, and whether events could be rotated around the Square.
Police Chief Fred Kelley explained that event organizers determine where they want the events to occur, and the city merely approves the applications. Committee member Tom Miller gave some reasons why certain sides are chosen for specific events, such as placement of the sun and raised platforms for visibility. Miller also explained that closing an outer lane of traffic provided more safety for pedestrians crossing to events on the inside lanes.
