Multiple DC street closings set for Saturday Pride parade
D.C. police have issued a traffic advisory announcing that more than 40 side streets linked to 14th Street, N.W., between U Street and Independence Avenue, S.W., will be closed most of the day on Saturday, June 8, to accommodate the city’s annual Capital Pride Parade.
Capital Pride Alliance, the group that organizes the Pride parade and Pride festival the following day on June 9, has said the parade will begin at 3 p.m.
Saturday at 14th and T St., N.W., and travel south on 14th Street to Pennsylvania Avenue, where it will turn left along Pennsylvania Avenue and end at 9th and Pennsylvania.
In addition to the street closings, the police traffic advisory says emergency no parking restrictions will be placed on many of the streets impacted by the parade. “The public should expect parking restrictions along the street and should be guided by the posted emergency no parking signage,” the advisory states. “All vehicles that are parked in violation of the emergency no parking signs will be ticketed and towed,” it says.
