Resolution to Approve Street Closure of North University between Fletcher and Thayer Streets for the University of Michigan Go Blue Mix on Saturday, September 3, 2016 from 4:00 PM until Sunday, September 4, 2016 at 12:00 AM
Memorandum
The attached resolution is requesting approval to close North University between Fletcher and Thayer Streets on Saturday, September 3, 2016 from 4:00 PM until Sunday, September 4, 2016 at 12:00 AM for the University of Michigan Go Blue Mix.
Go Blue Mix is a large, outdoor program on central campus as a part of the Welcome to Michigan schedule. An extension of the UMix Late Night program, Go Blue Mix will provide an alternative late-night programming opportunity for students during a high risk time (Saturday night).
While the event is intended for University of Michigan students, since it is in public spaces, community members will be able to enjoy elements of the program (i.e. live music, screening of a film, and food trucks).
The sponsoring unit, the University of Michigan Center for Campus Involvement, has stated that police presence will be handled by the UM Police Department.
Notification of the street closure will be through the City's website and GovDelivery, press releases and resources through the University of Michigan at least one week prior to the event.
The sponsor agrees to obtain all necessary permits, to provide evidence of proper liability insurance as required, to comply with all City and state regulations governing the use of the streets, and will reimburse the City for all event expenses.
