Before you start

You will need to notify all residents who will be affected by the closure. You can do this by going door to door or sending a notification in the mail.

In the application, you'll need to let us know the sections of the streets you want to be closed. For example, "N Clark Ave between Putnam and Madison."

2. Submit the form electronically.

What's next

We will reach out to you with any questions and let you know if your request is approved.

Barricades

We will drop off barricades at your address within 72 hours of the event. You are responsible for placing and removing the barricades.

Road access

Do not place any objects in the center of the road that could delay emergency access. If there's an emergency, call 911 immediately and make sure emergency responders can access the area.

If any residents need to exit or enter the roadway, you cannot deny them access.
