Block Parties
Planning on throwing a block party for your neighborhood? You may want to give yourself some extra time to obtain the necessary permits. You must contact the DDOT Transportation Online Permit System (TOPS) and apply for a Neighborhood Block Party Temporary Street Closing Permit. 51 percent of the residents and businesses must sign the application. Allow at least 15 days for processing and make sure all of the requirements are satisfied.
