My event will need to close, or partially close, city streets or sidewalks. Do I need a permit for this?

For events OTHER than a race, walk or ride with rolling closures — If a public street or sidewalk will be closed or partially closed for your event, please contact the Department of Public Works for a Traffic Control Permit. Events happening on or near a boulevard or parkway will also need to contact the Parks Department for a permit. For large events such as parades, races/walks/runs, you will need to consult with the KC Police Department Traffic Division to re-route traffic for your event and apply for the appropriate permits at KCRaceDay.org (Races/Run/Walks) or contact Public Works (parades).
