Mobile vehicle barrier system for special events
Summary
The city is spending up to $240,000 on 88 rapid-deploy vehicle barriers to protect festival crowds and close streets faster than concrete barricades. They'll cover up to 11 lanes, let emergency vehicles through, and arrive in 8–12 weeks — just in time for next year's event season, including the Lincoln Street Market.
