Post Prom Motorcade Routes in Place, Main Roads Stay Open

One of the great traditions of prom in the greater Racine area is the motorcade from the schools to the post prom celebration. This year, with Post Prom at the SportPlex in Sturtevant, routes, of course, are a little different.

The good news is that only a handful of roads will closely entirely between 8 and 11 pm, and those streets are all inside the Renaissance Business Park; Renaissance Blvd., Science Drive, Stellar Avenue, and Enterprise Drive.

Lt. Charles Weitzel of the Racine Police Department is leading the coordination, and he said drivers who might be out and about Saturday will be able to travel freely except when the parade of cars is actually using an intersection.

"This isn't like the presidential motorcade where we shut down streets until the kids are through," he said. "We'll keep the motorcade in one lane and drivers can then use the other lane where appropriate. Police from all the area jurisdictions will man intersections and direct traffic as the kids come through, but then the intersection will be open as usual."

Weitzel asks the community that if they are planning to be out Saturday night to build in a little more travel time to help keep everyone safe.

Spectators who want to watch the arrivals will be able to park in the lot of the Andis Company. We have the details of when, where, and how. Students who need to drop off their car before the festivities can do so in the lot across the street from the Andis Company.
