Downtown business owners were once again asking the Turlock City Council to keep their economic interests in mind when allowing Main Street closures for special events, following a local organization’s request to hold a parade down the popular thoroughfare on an upcoming Saturday. The Assyrian American Civic Club submitted a Special Event Permit application to the City of Turlock to close Main Street from Broadway to Canal Drive — along with sections of Florence Street, North Broadway and East Canal Drive — from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 25 to hold an Assyrian New Year parade. This is a first-time event for downtown Turlock.
