Dream Cruise officially canceled?

So does this mean no extra cops this year?? Asking for a friend lol.

Good question. I think I would say that the final story is still developing. I can tell you for sure that with the committee or whoever that "Runs" the event, nobody is going to be paying for extra cops. Going to suck for Birmingham and Royal oak. I imagine they will be clearing parking lots just like any normal weekend.

We'll have to see where the COVID situation stands come August, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all if RO/Birmingham just close down & barricade WW on that Saturday. As you said, there is no private funding to help offset the event cost (police, EMS, etc.)... can't believe the main cities would just play dumb and let things play out and run their normal course. The only real reason not to shutdown WW that day would be due to the I-75 reconstruction and WW being an alternate, but no one is going anywhere on WW if all of the cruisers show up anyway.

Bunch of cities voted in May to cancel it

Yeah but the board voted to cancel it yesterday.

I think if they blocked WW people would just cruise the detour routes. It can't flow any slower than WW on a normal year. Anything they try to do to prevent it will only draw more people lol

so who is still going?

I hope to

We should have an informal get-together at the old Motown Muscle lot
(if that's allowed).
