The NY Giants return to Lower Mahattan to celebrate another Super Bowl victory

To celebrate the New York Giants’ Super Bowl XLVI victory, the city will host a ticker-tape parade on Tuesday, February 7th, starting at 11 a.m. The parade will begin at Battery Place and Washington Street, and proceed northbound on Broadway to Worth Street. The parade will be followed by a ceremony at City Hall Plaza, at which Mayor Michael Bloomberg will present the NY Giants with Keys to the City.

Large crowds are expected to gather along Broadway early on Tuesday morning to view the parade, as well as the ancillary streets leading into Broadway. Pedestrians will be able to cross Broadway at Exchange Alley, Cedar Street, Cortlandt Street, Fulton Street, and Reade Street.

The Police Department may begin street closings on Broadway several hours prior to the 11 a.m. start of the parade, affecting business deliveries and meetings around Lower Manhattan. Building occupants and employees are encouraged to carry business and building identification at all times.

New York City Transit will be either closing certain subway exists or bypassing stations, depending on crowds, and buses will be re-routed according to street closures. (View more on the MTA website here.)

 Building managers with facilities located along the parade route are advised to close all entrances and exits on Broadway during the parade, if the building has an alternate entrance/exit on another street. Managers are advised to not lock the closed entrance/exit, and post a security guard or doorman there in case of emergency. Building with scaffolds, sidewalk sheds, rooftops and setbacks fronting Broadway should ensure that no person is permitted on those structures during the parade. All building occupants and employees should be advised of the public safety risks associated with throwing items (other than ticker tape and confetti) from building windows.
