• PEDESTRIAN ENTRY ONLY: Collins Ave and Gladstone Ave

Residents should expect to encounter law enforcement at these checkpoints. Please factor in extra time when traveling as a result of these security measures. Delivery trucks and other commercial services delivering to addresses in those neighborhoods may use those checkpoints, as well.
