Like last year, streets will be closed in the red zone on Saturday, February 24. Manned barricades will be in place during those times at the entry and exit points. Barricades along the perimeter, from Ann to Lynch and the highway to Broadway, will be manned by volunteers between the hours of 7am and 5pm. All residents living in the Red Zone and in the Yellow Zone will be issued Yellow Zone Access passes to allow them access to their homes in the area South of Ann to Lynch Street. Green Zone Access passes will be issued for market vendors, employees and the few residents who live on 9th North of Lafayette.
Access passes are for residents only.
Volunteers will be parking on the Nooter lot at Marion and 3rd. Access passes will be available after Feb 19 at the Soulard Coffee Garden, Seasons Garden Shop, The Framery, Vincent's Market and from the Soulard Market Master's office. Residents must be prepared to show identification proving residency and sign for their access passes. With the help of an eager volunteer coordinator who exercised great connections and the persistence of a core group of volunteers who reached out to friends and strangers alike, they have built a group of volunteers to feed the police and their fellow volunteers, lay out and manage the parade and marshal all the events. We can still use additional hands.
