Neighborhood Associations Announce Street Closures for Halloween Trick or Treating

Halloween Trick or Treating will be a little bit safer this year in three neighborhoods where several streets will be closed to facilitate walking door to door with young children. Fox Meadow will continue their tradition and this year Greenacres and Heathcote will follow in their steps.

Barriers, manned by local residents, will be put up to prevent cars from passing through at designated hours. This should make it safer for kids to travel from house to house without worrying about traffic.

The closures are arranged by the neighborhood associations in each area.

Here are the details for Halloween, Tuesday, October 31, 2023.

Fox Meadow
