The Fremont Police Department has issued a special event permit to the Gurdwara Sahib for the Diwali Festival of Lights event scheduled for Tuesday evening, November 13, 2012. The permit requires Gurdwara Sahib event organizers to notify all neighbors who may be affected by the higher than normal traffic related to the event. As a courtesy to the neighborhood, we are also using Nixle as a secondary notification to those who will potentially be affected by event traffic tomorrow evening.
The permit allows the Diwali event to take place between 5:00 p.m. – midnight at the Gurdwara, however outdoor noise and activity must be reduced and lowered by 10:00 p.m. To assist with traffic flow, the Fremont Police Department has requested that Gurdwara Rd. be closed in the eastbound direction between Grau Dr. and Mission Blvd between 5:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. Grau Dr. will also be closed in the northbound direction at Galway Terrace. Residents who live south of Gurwara Rd. are encouraged to use Grau Dr. from Mission Blvd. to enter and exit the neighborhood. Event attendees and residents will be required to use the southbound lanes of Grau Dr. to exit the neighborhood at Mission Blvd.
Gurdwara Sahib staff will be on-site to direct traffic in and four Fremont Police Department staff members will be on-site to enforce traffic violations. For event concerns or questions, the Gurdwara Sahib event organizers can be contacted at [email protected]. To report a parking violation the evening of the event, you may contact an on-site Fremont Police Department staff member or call the Fremont Police Department's non-emergency number at 510-790-6800 and select option 3.
For questions about the special event permit, please feel free to contact Geneva Bosques, PIO/Community Engagement Manager for the Fremont Police Department at 510-790-6957 or [email protected].
Note: This notification is specifically targeting addresses within a 1 - 1 1/2 mile radius of Gurdwara Rd.
