Art Car Parade will be taking place downtown this year due to the construction on Allen Parkway.  McKinney Street will close at 7pm on Friday, April 8 through all day on Saturday.  All traffic not exiting the garage by this time will be diverted out the entrance, facing possible delays in exiting.  The entrance ramp to the parking garage will be converted to two-way traffic for all day on Saturday.  

Streets closures for Saturday will be gradually phased in.  In the morning, there should not be any impediments getting to the Central Library complex.  Starting at about 1:00 PM, the parade route will close and all staff and customers are instructed to access the Library Garage by using West Dallas to Dallas to Brazos. From about 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM, access INTO the Central Library complex from the above listed route will be limited and delayed due to the parade.  Access out will be minimally affected for staff and customers.  A parking pass will be necessary ONLY if entering the Library complex during the 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM time frame.

Attached is the parking pass (if needed), street closure listing and map that will be helpful.
