Dear Ms. Frederick:
Attached please find the application for temporary road closure/rerouting of traffic for
State Road 905 on Friday, July 4th, 2008. "
The purpose of the planned road closure is the annual July 4th Parade through Key Largo.
The Parade begins at 10 a.m. with duration of approximately one and one-half hours,
beginning at Almay Street and u.S. 1 in Key Largo and proceeding to the conclusion at
Waldorf Plaza-Holiday Inn area.
Traffic from the northbound land of RS-905 is rerouted via Grand Street at the south,
through the southbound traffic lanes of SR905, which is converted to two lanes of travel.
Standard traffic is reestablished at Laguna Ave.
Throughout the parade route, marked Sheriff's Office units, plus uniformed officers plus
the Key Largo Fire Police and Florida Highway Patrol regulate the flow of traffic. Units
will be positioned at various intersections and traffic crossovers to ensure traffic integrity
as well as pedestrian safety.
Where necessary, cones and other signaling devices will be established to facilitate the
smooth flow of vehicular traffic through the areas that are rerouted.
Please bring this to the county commission at the March meeting in Marathon. 1 will need
a signed and sealed copy of resolution plus completion of the attached forms. The
request must also be signed by the Sheriff; 1'd appreciate it if you would forward the,
form to his office.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (305) 852~3216. Your assistance is
greatly appreciated.
