Main Street closures, trolley changes announced for Zerkapalooza

(From City of Joplin)

With the downtown area hosting Zerkapalooza this weekend, areas of Main Street will be closed at various times Friday afternoon through Saturday night.

On Friday, August 21, Main Street will be closed from 1st Street to 7th Street, starting at 3:30 p.m. and ending at 9 p.m. During this time, 2nd Street will remain open for east and west traffic.
On Saturday, August 22, Main Street will be closed from “C” Street to 4th Street. This closure is from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. There will not be any Main Street access from the adjacent streets throughout the day.

Due to the closures, the Sunshine Lamp Trolley has announced several relocations of stops in the downtown area. These include:

Friday: Library stop is moved to the Economic Security Office, at the southwest corner of 3rd and Joplin Avenue; and City Hall stop will be at Empire District building on the southwest corner of 6th and Joplin Avenue. (These relocations are the same as those established during Third Thursday events.)

Saturday: Trolley stop set at 2nd and Main Street will be moved to 3rd and Virginia Avenue. The Library stop will again move to the Economic Security Office, at the southwest corner of 3rd and Joplin Avenue. Other Trolley stops along the route are not affected.

Citizens seeking access to the Joplin Post Office at 1st and Main Street on Saturday morning are asked to please park in the City’s parking lot at 2nd and Virginia and walk to the Post Office.

We encourage everyone to please use caution while in the downtown area during these times and to enjoy the Zerkapalooza event. For more information about this event, please click on the link at the end of this article.

Note to drivers: School starts Thursday in Joplin

(From the Joplin Police Department)

The Joplin Police Department would like to remind motorists that the new school year starts tomorrow, August 20th , which brings potential hazards associated with travel.

The Joplin Police Department reminds everyone that there will be more traffic on the roadways and an increase of children crossing traffic lanes, particularly in school zones.

Some of the children may be inexperienced at traversing roadways during their commutes to and from schools. Please be cautious as you travel the streets and be aware of pedestrians in the roadway.

Due to the increased vehicular traffic that begins tomorrow, it is a good practice for motorists to leave earlier and allow themselves more time to reach their destinations. This will help to avoid unsafe driving caused by the feeling of being rushed and late for appointments or work. Please be mindful of school buses on the roadways. School buses stop frequently at bus stops, and also at all railroad crossings. It is against the law to pass a school bus when the red lights and stop arm are activated

The Joplin Police Department would also like to remind students and other pedestrians to use sidewalks and crosswalks provided and for students to cross at designated crossing points operated by trained crossing guards.
