On
Saturday, July 25, classic car enthusiasts from throughout Southeast
Michigan – and beyond – will converge on Telegraph Road for the 11th annual
Telegraph Classic Car Cruise. Spanning the cities of Taylor, Dearborn Heights,
Dearborn and Redford, the event is expected to draw thousands of enthusiasts
between the hours of 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
Several
business owners and operators along Telegraph are planning special
event-related activities – including outdoor parties/services and making their
parking lots available to cruisers and spectators. Taylor businesses and
organizations that plan outdoor activities along the route should remember to
file the proper permits with the City.
Permits
can be obtained through the Customer Service Center at City Hall, 23555
Goddard, during regular business hours Mondays through Fridays. For more
information, call (734) 287-6550.
Spectators
should be mindful of the weather conditions: Protect yourself from exposure to
the sun and heat and drink plenty of non-alcoholic beverages throughout the day
to remain hydrated.
Police
along the route will have stepped-up patrols throughout the cruise. Cruisers
should adhere to all normal traffic ordinances regarding speed, legal turns,
etc. The Taylor Police Department wants everyone to enjoy the Telegraph Cruise,
but cautions spectators and participants against the following:
• Driving
and drinking will not be tolerated
• Pedestrians
should stay clear of the street
• Please
do not throw anything into the roadway, including water or bleach
The
event originated in honor of the Telegraph Tomorrow Association, which worked
to improve and promote the Telegraph Road corridor. The City of Taylor is
finalizing plans for a classic car display, emergency stations, etc. in the old
Handy Andy Lot. Although nothing was confirmed as of this printing, other hot
spots usually include The United Auto Workers Region 1A and Biker Bob’s.
