Peru announces July 3 fireworks parking restrictions

The Peru Police Department announced temporary parking restrictions for the Independence Day fireworks display scheduled Wednesday, July 3.

These temporary restrictions are in addition to the regular restrictions that already are posted. The restrictions will go into effect at 5 p.m. July 3 and will remain in effect until the fireworks have concluded. Vehicles in violation will be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense. There will be no parking across from the old electric plant, which is where the family area will be located.

There also will be barricades set up at the intersections of Water and Plain streets and Putnam and Water streets. No traffic will be permitted on Water Street between Plain and Putnam. Traffic will not be permitted southbound on Pike Street from Market Street as well as Putnam Street south of First Street after 7:30 p.m., which means no traffic except for emergency vehicles will be allowed on Water Street.

Special attention also will be paid to Putnam Street, which will have “no parking” posted on either side. Violators will be ticketed and towed. Also, individuals who deface, destroy or remove temporary parking signs will be prosecuted.
