Dallas is closing down the streets in Deep Ellum, the entertainment-driven neighborhood, this weekend.
According to a release, the Dallas Police Department will block off the streets on March 14 and March 15, Friday and Saturday night, to enhance public safety and manage both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
The plan includes an increased police presence, with officers strategically positioned at key locations to control the flow of traffic.
The closures will be in effect this weekend with future weekend closures to be determined at a later date.
The two major streets that will be blocked are Elm Street and Main Street, between Good Latimer Freeway and Malcolm X Boulevard.
Barricades will be set up at designated intersections of Elm Street and Good Latimer Freeway, as well as Malcolm X and Main Street.
All side streets leading into that area will be blocked as well including Crowdus Street, Pryor Street, and July Alley.
Traffic passing through will be open on Commerce Street on the south side of the neighborhood, and Monument/Indiana Street on the north side.
The street closures will start at 10 pm, but the time is flexible based on safety needs.
