Traffic in Stratton Addition in Decatur will be limited to one way on trick-or-treat night again this year, approval of same recently given by city council.
City-wide trick or treating is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 31, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Given the large amount of traffic seen in that housing addition on the special night, the safety change was approved after once again being proposed by Nan Everett, representing the housing addition’s Home Owners Association (HOA).
This will mark the fourth year for the one-way restriction, which will be in effect from 5 to 8 p.m.
“It’s for the safety of the kids,” Everett said in the past. “There are tons and tons of traffic (on that night).”
Some other key upcoming dates:
– The annual Callithumpian Parade will start at 6:57 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 26, traveling west across the Macklin Bridge, then turning south on Second St. downtown.
– Trick or Treat at Safety Park is set for 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24.
