3rd Friday Downtown Decatur, 2nd Avenue

coupemama · May 5th

3rd Friday night Downtown Decatur update after meeting
This event officially starts at 5:30pm
Barricades will be placed at 4:30pm
If you arrive too early, there will be public parking lots to park and wait until 2nd Ave has cleared
The businesses, like bankers, attorneys, etc do not close until 5pm and they do need time to leave

Starting with the north end:
For the cars wanting to park in the block from Lee Street to Moulton Street (Princess Theater block)
Enter and exit at the north end of 2nd at Lee Street intersection
Once this block is full, there will be a sign placed at this entrance/exit indicating FULL
At that point, please proceed to either 1st or 4th Avenue and enter from the side streets of Johnston or Grant

2nd Ave at Moulton intersection will be closed – no entering or exiting either direction on 2nd Ave at this intersection

The 1st 6 spots on 2nd Ave just south of Moulton – 3 on each side – is assigned to the paying vendors
Then the rest of the parking spots on this block going south to Johnston Street is open for the classic cars
Once this block is full, there will also be a sign placed indicating FULL

In summary: we have ALL the parking spots back except the 6 for paying vendors

Then, like before, the balance of 2nd Ave to Gordon Parkway is open to classic cars
As well as the side streets of Johnston and Grant, both directions, to the barricades

Moulton Street is also available for parking, but must park regular, legal parking – no backing into the spots on this main street

Just a recap: If the weather (rains) hold out for this 3rd Friday, hoping that you all will come and see how it goes. We have our open parking back - all spots, except for 6 - which are suppose to be clearly marked for those 6 vendors who pay to be there. This event would love to see more of the antiques, classics and muscle car years. So if you have any, please bring out for all to see.

So now we car owners all need to work together to make it enjoyable for all (us), as follows: please no saving spaces, we all should help each other find a spot and get parked, we are allowed to move the barricades to let the rides in and place the barricades back after the rides have entered. Be considerate to your fellow car owners, and they should in turn do the same for you. Thank you. See you there. Marsha
