We would like to remind everyone the correct location for dropping off participants for the parade is on Shaws Flat Road, in front of Sonora High School. The participants can then walk across the campus to the staging area. Disabled participants may be dropped off at the intersection of North Washington and School Streets.<\/p>\n

\u201cNO PARKING\u201d<\/strong> will be allowed on Washington Street (Highway 49) from the Red Church to Toby Street. The \u201cNO PARKING\u201d<\/strong> restriction will start at 2 pm on Friday, 25 Nov. 2016. If you park in this area we will attempt to contact you, so you can move your vehicle. Unfortunately, if you can\u2019t be contacted or you can\u2019t move your vehicle in a timely manner, your vehicle will be towed.<\/p>\n

\u201cNO PARKING\u201d<\/strong> will be allowed on the side streets between Washington Street (Highway 49) and Green Street, as well as between Washington Street (Highway 49) and Stewart Street. These restrictions will start at 2 pm on Friday, 25 Nov. 2016. Vehicles parked in these areas will also be towed.<\/p>\n

The Tuolumne County Transit\u2019s Holiday Trolley will run from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, on the day of the parade. There are several pick-up and drop off locations in the downtown area. For more information regarding the Holiday Trolley schedule you may call 209- 532-0404, or log onto www.tuolumnecountytransit.com<\/a> . <\/p>\n

As a result of the parade, there will be several street closures and detours, along with a large amount of vehicle and pedestrian congestion. Below is a list of the street closures, plus the detours which will be in place during the parade. All detour routes will be marked.<\/p>\n

STREET CLOSURES<\/strong>
\n\u2022 School Street will be closed from 3:00 pm until approx. 8:00 pm.
\n\u2022 Washington Street (Highway 49) will be closed to \u201cALL\u201d traffic from the
\nintersection of Snell Street to the intersection of Hospital Road from 5:00 pm until
\napprox. 8:00 pm.
\n\u2022 Restano Way will be closed from 5:00 pm until approx. 8:00 pm.
\n\u2022 Stockton Road (Highway 49) will be closed to \u201cALL\u201d traffic at the intersection
\nof S. Green Street and Stockton Road from 5:00 pm until approx. 8:00 pm.
\nDETOURS<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Southbound traffic on Washington Street (Highway 49) will be detoured onto
\nElkin Street, then onto Stewart Street, up to Mono Way.
\n\u2022 Northbound traffic on Washington Street will be detoured up Hospital Road to

\nback onto Washington Street (Highway 49).
\n\u2022 Eastbound traffic on Stockton Road (Highway 49) will be detoured north on
\nForest Road, then north on Bonanza Street to Highway 49. \u201cALL\u201d traffic will be
\nstopped at Green Street and turned around.
\n Our goal is to ensure the safety of motorists, spectators, pedestrians, plus participants.
\nIf you are attending the parade, we suggest you arrive prior to the 5:00 pm street closure
\ntime. This will allow you time to find parking. If you are not attending the parade, you
\nmay want to avoid the downtown area to minimize your frustration with the street
\nclosures and heavy volume of traffic.<\/p>\n

Remember, following the parade there will be a large amount of vehicle and pedestrian traffic in the downtown area. Street closures will remain in place up to 15 minutes following the end of parade, which will allow pedestrian traffic to clear the area. Take your time and be considerate. Normally, the traffic in the downtown area will clear out in approximately 30 minutes, so turn on some holiday music and enjoy the start of the holiday season while waiting. Please call the Sonora Police Department at 209-532-8141, if you should have any questions about street closures, detours, or the temporary no
\nparking zones. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
