Around Town: Street closures announced for Trump’s Newport Beach visit Saturday
One of the stops on former president Trump’s campaign visit to the Southland is a fundraiser at a private home in Newport Beach on Saturday, June 8. Multimillionaire tech entrepreneur Palmer Luckey is among the hosts, according to the L.A. Times.
He is expected to arrive in the early afternoon, according to city officials. Some roads will be closed from 7 a.m. to approximately 3 p.m.
Bayside Drive from Jamboree Road to Coast Highway will be closed to all motor vehicle traffic starting at 7 a.m., with only local residents allowed to enter with proof of residency such as a photo identification, passport or some other proof of address, according to the notice issued Friday from City Hall.
Residents of the Harbor Island community, Beacon Bay, Promontory Bay and Promontory Point communities will be able to access their homes during the event via Coast Highway and Bayside.
The Linda Isle community will not be directly impacted, as it is a gated community, but its access will be limited to Coast Highway and Bayside Drive.
The city asks residents to “be flexible as this will be a dynamic situation.” For more information contact Special Events Sgt. Sabrina Fabbri at (949) 644-3743.
