The Christmas City of the North Parade will be held once again on Friday, November 22nd. Superior Street between 10th Avenue East and 5th Avenue West will be blocked to all traffic at approximately 5:45 PM and will remain closed until the completion of the parade at approximately 8:15 PM. Once we have confirmed the route is clear we will resume regular operations in the downtown area.
Until that time ALL ROUTES in the Downtown Area will detour largely along 1st St between 5th Ave W and 2nd Ave E.
We will use any nearside corner along 1st St as a bus stop while we are detoured.
DTC WILL NOT BE SERVED DURING THE PARADE
With significant congestion in the Downtown Area, we are expecting delays on all affected routes during the parade closures.
