We thought those of you driving in to Indianapolis for the ARLIS/NA Conference should be aware of the following:
Traffic Alert for
Friday evening, April 17th and Saturday, April 18th, 2009
The "Race for the Cure" will be held on Saturday, April 18th. Set-up for the race may affect traffic on major streets Friday evening and the Saturday event will greatly affect both traffic and parking on the [IUPUI campus and near the Downtown Marriott]
The race will begin and end on New York St. and will involve more than 35,000 participants.
* New York St. will be closed during the event on Saturday morning, 4/18, possibly as early at 7:00 a.m. and should re-open by 1 p.m.
* Blackford St. (from Michigan St. to the Canal) will be closed from 6 a.m. until 1 p.m.
* University Blvd. south of Michigan will close at 8:00 a.m. (open to lot 80)
* Anyone needing access to the Natatorium and the Sports Center will have to use Barnhill Dr. and should plan to park in lots north of New York St.
* Any one parked south of New York St. after 7:30 a.m. should expect to be there until approximately 11:00 a.m.
The easiest access to campus before and during the race will be from the West St. exits of I-65 (Exit 114). Students & faculty coming from the east should use Michigan St. and those coming from the west should use 10th St.
The Blackford St. garage and Lot 80 will be reserved for IUPUI permits during this event.
Traffic on Michigan St. and West St. will be congested before the event.
