Parking restricted Saturday for Southeast Missouri State University Homecoming parade

People visiting businesses or lining up to watch the Southeast Missouri State University Homecoming parade on Broadway in Cape Girardeau will find parking restrictions in place, police said.

Parking will be restricted in some areas from 2 a.m. to the end of the parade Saturday morning. Parking will be prohibited on both sides of Broadway from North West End Boulevard to Main Street; on Main Street from Park Drive to William Street; on North West End Boulevard from Broadway to Parkview Drive; on the east side of Perry Avenue from Broadway to Parkview Drive; on both sides of Bellevue Street in front of Houck Stadium; and on both sides of Houck Place. Signs and traffic control devices will be in place.

Cars parked in these areas after 2 a.m. Saturday will be towed.

Parking will be restored immediately following the parade, which begins at 9:30 a.m., with the exception of Bellevue Street. Due to construction along Independence Street, police encourage drivers to find alternate routes to and from the parade.
