Traffic
will be affected as thousands of people are expected to march on Monument
Avenue this weekend for Virginia’s 5000 Man March.
The
event is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 13. West
Broad Street (both sides), North Arthur Ashe Boulevard (both sides), and
Monument Avenue (both sides) will be closed while participants march.
They are set to start near the Robert E. Lee Monument, head north on North
Allen Avenue, then west on West Broad Street – marching until they get back to
the Robert E. Lee Monument (see attached map). RPD plans to open West
Broad Street and North Arthur Ashe Boulevard, once all participants have moved
onto Monument Ave.
No
parking is permitted along the route from 3 a.m. on Saturday, June 13
until 3 a.m. on Sunday, June 14. During that time period,
there will also be no parking on North Meadow Street from Park Avenue to
Monument Avenue and Monument Avenue all the way to North Lombardy Street (as
shown on the map).
