RE:	Right-of-Way Permit for Summer Reading Kickoff Event

The Lawrence Public Library has requested a temporary use of right-of-way permit (see attached application) to close a portion of the 700 block of Vermont adjacent to the Library on Saturday, May 29 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., for the summer reading event kickoff festival. Vermont Street would be closed from 7^th Street to just north of the entrance into the parking lot immediately south of the Library. The street would be used for performers and spectators.

The closure would require the use of barricades from the city to close the street, two bus reroutes, and 21 parking meter bags. The Library has requested, and staff recommends, a waiver of the permit application fee ($10.00) and the meter bag deposit fee ($3.00 per bag).

ACTION:       Approve a temporary use of right-of-way permit for the Lawrence Public Library to close a portion of the 700 block of Vermont adjacent to the Library on Saturday, May 29 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., for the summer reading event kickoff festival.
