• Temporary, minor traffic delays along Penn Avenue
• Increased pedestrian activity, particularly in the downtown corridor
• Brief, intermittent interruptions to traffic flow at intersections
• Support vehicles accompanying the march route

Public Advisory

The event organizers have indicated their intention to move through all communities along the route in a safe and minimally disruptive manner.

Residents are encouraged to plan travel accordingly, allow extra time when traveling through affected areas, and exercise caution when driving near pedestrian activity.

The Borough will continue to coordinate with public safety partners as needed to help ensure the safety of both participants and the community during the event.

For non-emergency concerns during the march, residents should contact local law enforcement through established channels.
