Lebanon Police Announce July 4th plans

The Lebanon parade route will be cleared of parked vehicles after 7 a.m. on the morning of July 4 for street cleaning and preparation. Vehicles left on the parade route after that time are subject to removal at owner’s expense.

The parade route will be closed to all vehicle traffic after 1:30 p.m. Vehicles on the parade route after that time will be subject to impoundment.

This year, police will be especially vigilant for spectators who move items such as tents, canopies and tables into the street at intersections. The only items that will be allowed in closed roadways are folding chairs or blankets. Also, visitors should also refrain from blocking side streets when parking as emergency vehicles might still require access to the area.

During the parade there will be no parking along Ulen Drive between North Outer Drive and Grant Street. While all southbound traffic will be diverted off Elizaville Road onto Grant Street, residents of Ulen Country Club will have access to enter and exit the area.

At certain intersections, such as Meridian & Camp Streets, safety lines will be painted on the pavement. Spectators will be required to stay behind those lines during the parade.

During the parade, the Lebanon Street entrance to Memorial Park will be open for access to the park.

Police will be directing traffic after the 10 p.m. fireworks display at the Lebanon Middle School. Traffic will be routed north and south from the area of Lebanon High School/Middle School area and motorists are asked to cooperate with officers by not attempting to drive against the designated flow of traffic.
