Block Parties
Block Party permits are issued to residents of the Village of Greendale who would like to barricade the residential street they live on for a neighborhood event.
A good faith effort must be made to gather the support of your neighbors and welcome their participation, as well as inform them of the street closure.
The Block Party applicant must reside on the block and is responsible for the event - including set up and take down of the barricades, as well as clean up of the streets following the event. The street must still be accessible for emergency vehicles. Objects such as tents, tables, etc., that would hinder free access to emergency vehicles cannot be placed in the roadway.
Effective January 1, 2023, per the Village of Greendale Schedule of Fees and Deposits, there is a one-time, non-refundable fee of $50 for each block party permit.
Block Party Application (payment will be required in order to submit the application - If your permit is denied, the permit fee will be refunded)
Once your application is received at the Police Department, you will receive a letter indicating whether your block party has been approved. The letter will also give you instructions on the use of barricades for your event. Barricades must be moved to allow free ingress and egress on the street during the event.
This permit may be revoked at any time, for any reason.
Please direct questions to us at our non-emergency number: (414) 423-2121 or by email: greendalepd@greendalepolice.org
Best of luck with your event!
