A Block Party is an organized neighborhood or public gathering on a street, whether public or private, on a specified date at a specific time and place.  The following requirements apply to block parties:

B. Only City-approved traffic barricades shall be used to close off the street.  Drop off and pick up of barricades from the City of Goodyear should be arranged by contacting the Engineering Department at 623-882-3110.  Barricades need to be requested a minimum of ten (10) business days in advance of the event.  Barricades will be dropped off the Friday prior to the event and picked up the next business day after the event.  A resident must be available for drop off and pick up of the barricades during the hours of 7 a.m. and 2 p.m., and they will be responsible for storage of the equipment until it has been returned to City staff.  There will be a processing fee of $25.00 for the traffic control.

C. Barricade sites must be manned at all times by an adult physically capable of moving the barricades to allow for quick and immediate access to emergency response vehicles.
