WHEREAS, a complete application was filed with the Municipal Clerk, and the Clerk forwarded the application to the Chief of Police; and
WHEREAS, following discussions with Resistencia En Accion, the event’s parade route has been amended to require the closures of Witherspoon Street, Hulfish Street, Palmer Square East, Chambers Street and John Street; and
WHEREAS, Resistencia En Accion is in the process of submitting an amended application with the Clerk’s Office, which will set forth the revised route and specific conditions agreed upon by Resistencia En Accion intended to ensure a safe and successful event; and
WHEREAS, based on the agreed-upon parade route and conditions of the event, which shall be memorialized in writing in advance of the event, the Chief of Police finds that the conduct of the event will not substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of other traffic contiguous to its route, the concentration of participants will not unduly interfere with proper fire and police protection of, or ambulance service to, areas contiguous to such assembly area, and the concentration of persons, animals, and vehicles at the assembly point of the parade will not unduly interfere with proper fire and police protection of, or ambulance service to, areas contiguous to such assembly area; and
WHEREAS, after giving due consideration to the recommendation of the Chief of Police, the final determination as to whether a permit shall be issued shall be made by the Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and Council of Princeton that the Governing Body does hereby approve and give permission to Resistencia En Accion to hold their May Day March for International Workers’ Day on Friday, May 1st, 2026 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., contingent upon Resistencia En Accion’s submission of a revised permit application which shall set forth the revised parade route and agreed-upon conditions of the event.
