Palatine will allow neighborhood run/walk events only when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted by September, officials hope but will OK block parties when the state enters the next phase of the Restore Illinois plan.
Palatine Village Manager Reid Ottesen said those were the village staff s recommendations, and the village council agreed with the parameters after a discussion Monday night.
Under the current Phase 4, run/walk events require limited gatherings of 50 or fewer people using staggered start times every 30 minutes. In the next bridge, or 4.5 phase, gatherings would be limited to 100 participants, also with staggered start times.
