Dear Roman,
Enclosed please find the application for a temporary road closure/rerouting of traffic for
Overseas Highway (SR5) on Saturday July 4, 2015. The planned road closure is for the
40t' Annual July 4 parade through Key Largo.
The Parade begins at 10:00 AM, with a duration of approximately one and one half
hours. The diversion of northbound Overseas Highway begins at Almay Street,
proceeding north and concludes at the Waldorf Plaza -Holiday Inn area.
Traffic from the northbound lane of SR5 is rerouted via Grand Street at the southern
end, proceeding north on the southbound traffic lane of US 1 (which is converted to two
lanes of traffic during the Parade event). Standard traffic flow is re-established at Laguna
Avenue.
Throughout the Parade route, marked Sheriffs Office units, plus uniformed officers,
Florida Highway patrol units and volunteers from the Key Largo Fire Department help
regulate traffic flow. Units are positioned at various intersections and traffic crossovers to
ensure safety as well as traffic integrity.
Where necessary, cones and other signaling devices are established to facilitate the
smooth flow of vehicular traffic through the area.
Please bring this request to the county commission at their May meeting. District 6
Florida Department of Transportation needs a signed and sealed copy of the county
resolution, plus the attached application forms. This request also needs to be signed by
the Monroe County Sheriff or his designee.
After your office signs the temporary closure form, please forward to Sheriff Rick
Ramsay for his signature. That will help expedite this application on to FDOT District 6 In
Miami.
If you or your office has questions, please contact me at 305-440-3225. 1 am working
closely with the Key Largo Chamber of Commerce on this year's Parade, our fourth year
partnering with them. They are also hosting an Old -Fashioned Picnic to follow the
parade later that day on July 4.
Sincerely,
Richard Tamborrino, Publisher
