Resolution to Approve a Street Closing for the University of Michigan Credit Union Touchdown Tailgate on Friday, October 3, 2025 from 7:00 AM until 10:00 PM
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration is a resolution to approve the closing of the following street from 7:00 A.M. on Friday, October 3, 2025 from 7:00 AM until 10:00 PM for the University of Michigan Credit Union Touchdown Tailgate:
• East Washington from South Fifth Street to South Division Street
The actual event will take place from 3:00 PM until 9:00 PM with the additional time to be used for set-up and break-down of the event.
The applicant, the University of Michigan Credit Union (UMCU), is seeking to invite the public to a celebration of the various locations with fun activities including a photo booth, DJ booth, prize table, Detroit Lions and UM themed decorations and food trucks.
The applicant had previously applied for the date of September 12, 2025. They recently requested a change of date to October 3, 2025. Despite being directed by Staff that there was another large event that day (Tech Trek 2025), they wanted their request to be put before Council anyway. Note that this event takes place on Washington while Tech Trek is on Liberty, thus creating potential traffic impacts.
Notification of the street closings will be provided through the City’s website and GovDelivery.
