Neighbors, I wanted to provide an update on PCs plans for this Halloween weekend. As you may remember, there was a large pop-up party that ensued this time last year and while it was determined that the students from PC did not plan for this pop-up, we understand the reasons this area was picked for one.
In an effort to try and mitigate some of this, the college sent us the following information.
“….we have requested temporary no-parking bans on Oakland Ave., Radcliffe Ave., Pembroke Ave. and Pinehurst Ave., from Eaton Street to Chad Brown. The bans will be in effect from 4:30 p.m. on Friday, October 30, through 7 a.m. on Sunday, November 1. The goal is to discourage out-of-town visitors from gathering in the lower Eaton Street area. PPD has confirmed that PC-hired detail officers will be assigned to enforce the bans.
PC has also hired an additional 6–10 detail officers per shift from Friday through Sunday.
Internally, we have advised students that guests are not permitted on campus from Thursday through Sunday. We have also scheduled additional Public Safety officers. Our Student Activities team has quite the line up of on-campus events for students to partake in throughout the weekend.”
For neighbors that may be impacted by the temporary no parking ban for the weekend, please feel free to contact me and I will work with police to support your request. As always, if there’s a large nuisance issue that ensues please call the non-emergency line and feel free to call me if you’d like (401) 484-0011.
I have already started receiving calls from concerned neighbors about this weekends planned activities and while I can’t prevent said activities from happening, I encourage our local off-campus students to be responsible in their activities, especially as it relates to underage drinking. Nuisance ordinances are still very much in effect. In this term, we updated the chronic nuisance ordinance and I fully intend to use when necessary. For any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out directly. Thank you.
