Indicates revision PÄfN E ART CENTER AND GARDENS 1410 ALGOMA BOULEVARD OSHKOSH, WISCONSIN 54901 June 3, 2005 Mr. Richard Wollangk City Manager City of Oshkosh P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903,-1130 Dear Mr. Wollangk, As you are aware and per the copy of the attached letter, the City Council has approved our request to close Algoma Boulevard, from New York Avenue to Congress Avenue, on Sunday, July 10,2005 from 6:00 a.tn. to 5:00 p.m. and that "no parking" signs be placed on the street the night before, to accommodate our Faire on the Green event. At this time, in addition to having Algoma Boulevard closed, I would like to request that the council grant permission to close Congress Avenue during that same time period, from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on July 10 for the same event and that "no parking" signs be placed on Congress Avenue, as well as Algoma, on the night before. From our experience, Congress Avenue is extremely congested during the morning hours when vendors will be trying to unload their vehicles prior to the time of the event. The same congestion occurs again after 4:00 p.m. when the vendors who have participated in the event will be trying to pack up their vehicles to leave the event. . In addition, many of the visitors attending our event as well as the event at the Public Museum park their vehicles east of Algoma Boulevard and walk to the two events with Congress Avenue experiencing a large flow of pedestrian traffic. It would be to the safety of those pedestrians that Congress Avenue be closed while those two events are in operation. I would appreciate your consideration ofthis request at your next city council meeting on June 14 and to let me know the decision as soon after as possible. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 920-235-6903 ext. 22 or dpeitz@thepaine.org. Thank you for your time and your efforts in helping to make these two events run as smoothly as possible that day.

We are looking forward to building off of the positive momentum last year's event brought. This year's tournament will take place September 10th at the Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. The club is located at 501 East Parkway. We are requesting to close a half block of Broad Street from the Parkway corner to the end of our property. This area blocks no residences and would help in securing the safety of all our participants. Registration tables, food vendors, and the possibility of some games and activities would be set up in and along side of this blocked off area.
