I caught that on WDET this AM. Additionally cars will not be allowed on the island until 2PM. The assertion by Mayor Bing is that the police are needed elsewhere until then.

So no more day before camp outs and turf-claiming with tents until then. I am beginning to envision the traffic pile up as fire works viewers line up to get in starting at 2.

Additionally Hart Plaza is to be cordoned and all entrants will be patted down. No fee will be charged that I heard of.

Why not? If the monetization of Belle Isle that now seems to be at full steam can Hart Plaza be far behind? After all, it is for other events.

Welcome to Brave New City!
