Dear Ms. Shaugnessy and Mr. Linn:
TownCenter Agency would like to sponsor the annual "Dancin' In The

required and if approval is given, the following streets are
requested to be closed:

(c) First Street from Orange Street to Atlantic Blvd.
TownCenter requests the streets to be closed- from 4:00 a.m.
Saturday, May 15th through 4:00 a.m. Sunday, May 16th. The event
time is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. until 10:00 p:m.
Music for the event will begin at 11:00 a.m. through 10:00 p.m.
