A permit is the route to a temporary car-free neighborhood event; the announcement does not authorize residents to close a street themselves. The city’s program page directs organizers of a one-day neighborhood closure with fewer than 75 people at any one time and no structures in the road to its block-party application through ePermits.
Check the road’s classification on the Major and Collector Street Plan before applying. A collector or arterial-boulevard event can require a special-event permit, whose charges differ from the free neighborhood application. The program page says those base permit costs start at $785; do not assume every Halloween event is fee-free.
Organizers can request approved signs and cones without charge. The program requires equipment requests at least five business days before pickup. The October 14 release gives no single Halloween filing deadline; confirm permit processing and pickup arrangements before promising neighbors a closure.
