WHEREAS, In an attempt to address the numerous problems caused by the unparalleled number of street activities in its district Community Board Five has guidelines for recommending approval of street activity permit applications; and
WHEREAS, In previous years the applicant has not agreed to adhere to those guidelines; therefore be it
RESOLVED, Community Board Five recommends denial of the Pakistan Independence Day Parade and Fair Committee’s application for a permit for a Street Activity on Madison Avenue, between 23rd and 26th Streets due to size of the crowd and unruly behavior and applicant’s failure to attend Community Board Five’s committee meeting to address issues of concern; and let it be further
RESOLVED, That Community Board Five urges the city to work with the applicant to find an alternative parade route and appropriate location for the applicant’s post-parade event.
