Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor IRWINDALE - Traffic will be intermittently impacted for about eight hours while crews transport 38 Rose Floats from their respective build facilities Monday.
Intermittent street closures will occur at 6 a.m. for vehicle staging and float judging in the 16000 block of Avenida Padilla in Irwindale and the 1300 block of West Optical Drive in Azusa, Irwindale Police said. The first full street closure will begin at 1 p.m. in the 16100 block of Ornelas Street in Irwindale for float judging and vehicle staging, Irwindale Police said. The impact of intermittent full and partial road, lane and intersection closures will be felt most along Irwindale Avenue, Arrow Highway and through Live Oak Avenue beginning at 2:30 p.m. when the float escorts are scheduled to begin. Floats from Irwindale will find their way west on Avenida Padilla and south on Irwindale Road. Azusa-built floats will travel west on Ornelas Street. All floats will journey south on Irwindale Avenue to Arrow Highway. The floats will travel west on Arrow and take Live Oak Avenue west. It will take an estimated eight hours to move all the floats, Irwindale Police said. Temporary "No Parking" restrictions will be in effect on portions of Irwindale Road, Adelante Street and Ornelas Street throughout the day, Irwindale Police said. Access to and from the the Irwindale Gold Line Station and adjacent parking structure will be temporarily blocked during the float caravan. “Members of the community are allowed to observe the floats as they pass through the city, however all parking and vehicle/pedestrian traffic laws will be strictly enforced,” Irwindale Police said. “No one will be allowed to approach, touch or access any of the floats at any time.” The California Highway Patrol will be assisting Irwindale Police with portions of the road closures. Additional information can be obtained by contacting the California Highway Patrol at 1-800-TELL-CHP (1-800-835-5247) or the Tournament of Roses at (626) 449-4100. |
