Road Closures for this Saturday 11/23/2024 will last from 8 to 10am. At 9:30, we ask that the remaining turkey trotters and race course volunteers use the sidewalks and crosswalks so motorists can have full use of their roads by 10am. Please share this information with your neighbors. We ask motorists to leave by 8am. However, if necessary, kindly speak to a uniformed student police cadets or MVPD officer to request access to either Surrey Dr., Braddock Ave, or Maryland St. and follow the red arrows to exit our neighborhood. See you at the Gobblepalooza!
