Full Notification

Tomorrow, between 8:00 AM and approximately 11:30 AM, the annual Ashenfelter 8K Classic 2016 will be run through the streets of Glen Ridge. To ensure the safety of the runners, there will be road closures on Ridgewood Avenue, between Sunset Avenue and Carteret Street, as well as the entire length of Forest Avenue, south of Sunset Avenue, and Hawthorne Avenue between Washington Street and Carteret Street. See the course map at http://www.glenridgenj.org/pdfs/A8K2016Course.pdf

Please plan ahead to accommodate the road closures as roads will be CLOSED to all traffic and there will be strict, zero tolerance, enforcement to ensure the safety of the runners and personnel. Residents are reminded to not move these barricades nor drive on the closed roadways, or a summons will be issued.

A. Mutilates or removes the notice, or damages, destroys or removes any warning sign or signal, or removes the barricade placed or posted by the commissioner or county or municipal governing body, at any point along the highway, road or street in connection with or relating to the closed portion thereof; OR
