Dear City Council Members:
Kathy Farley
We are excited to announce that the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo
( "HARP ") will be formally dedicating the newly constructed Riverwalk project on
Ken Grobe October 5 -7, 2000. This will be an exciting event for everyone involved in the
project and for the people of Pueblo and southern Colorado.
Rosemary Reilly On Friday and Saturday, October 6 & 7, we are expecting crowds in excess of
20,000 people. We are planning a huge entertainment line -up on four stages
throughout both days, a renaissance festival, story tellers, the Taco Bell / Pizza
Ken White Hut 5k RiverWalk & Run, and a Coors Beach Party, in addition to many the
food and craft vendors we will station along the channel.
Joni Hilvitz The Grand Opening Event will involve some street closures. Pueblo Police
Captain, George Rivera, and Pepper Mahon from the City Traffic Department
Ralph Williams have been contacted and were presented with a general plan of street closings.
They both had valuable insight and input and the plan was amended based on
their suggestions. The following is the proposed street closure plan for Friday,
Wynona Sullivan October 6 and Saturday, October 7 t
In attachment #1 for Friday, October 6 from 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM, the
William Turman highlighted areas are the street closures we request. The streets involved are
North Elizabeth from 2 Street to Greenwood and Greenwood to Victoria.
Victoria will need to be closed for the duration of the event in order that it may
Sam Corsentino function as a plaza for all of the activities. Victoria will need to be closed from
Grand through the end of the HARP Project. The Union Street Bridge at HARP
will need to be closed off as this is the sight of the Grand Opening Dedication
Bill Ward Ceremony to be held at 10:00 AM and will last until 11:30 AM.
In attachment #2, also for Friday, October 6 from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, the

the paid concert, John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, that evening at
the confluence of HARP.

Annual Taco Bell /Pizza RiverWalk & Run.
In attachment #5, Saturday, October 7 th from 10:00 AM until 12:00 AM the
