Denver police plan for safe, celebratory Cinco de Mayo

The Denver Police Department is planning on a safe and celebratory Cinco de Mayo at the end of the week. The police department is working with the City of Denver on traffic safety during the parade and festival. 

The city has implemented a curfew for everyone under the age of 18 at midnight on Friday and Saturday and 11 p.m. on Sunday. Denver police are urging everyone to plan ahead and have a sober driver to avoid drinking and driving. 

Police will reduce the number of lanes on Federal Boulevard between May 5-7 to one lane each way between Sixth and West Evans Avenues.
