Summary
Buckeye residents can temporarily close a neighborhood street for a block party with a police department permit, but closures must end by 10 p.m. and can't fully block resident access.

Full Breakdown
To close a neighborhood street for a block party, Buckeye residents apply to the police department at least three working days ahead, notify every household on the block, and pick up city-supplied traffic cones to place at both ends of the street. The party cannot run past 10:00 p.m., and the street can't be fully closed, access must stay open for people who live on the block. The police chief or designee approves or denies each application; collector streets and the first block off a major street are never approved. Applicants are liable for damage and must return all cones the next business day.
Violations & Fines
Applicants who skip the permit, block full resident access, or run past the 10 p.m. cutoff risk denial of future requests and get billed for lost, damaged, or destroyed traffic cones and city property.
