Unfortunately, over time we have seen an ongoing pattern of issues within the district that continue to be reported by business owners, staff, on-site personnel, and citizens. Despite posted signage and established rules, we continue to experience repeated problems involving:

Smoking in prohibited areas

Throwing footballs and games that create safety concerns for patrons

Outside coolers, cups, and beverages being brought into the district

Climbing, jumping on, or misusing public furniture and tables

Disrespectful behavior toward staff and security personnel

I want to be candid with you: I would much rather allocate police resources elsewhere in our community. However, due to the ongoing nature of these issues, coupled with repeated complaints from staff, businesses, and citizens…we are at a point where we must address them more directly.

To help ensure everyone can safely enjoy the district, additional enforcement efforts are now taking place.

Please understand:

Follow the posted rules

Respect district staff and on-site security personnel

Help us keep the space safe, clean, and enjoyable for everyone

Parents, we ask for your help as well. The district is not a playground, and while we absolutely want families downtown, we need everyone helping us maintain an environment that is safe and respectful for all patrons.

Failure to follow district rules or comply with directions from staff/security will result in removal from the district and potential bans from returning.

We appreciate those of you who already follow the rules and help make downtown Trussville a great place to gather. Your cooperation matters and helps us continue offering events, live music, and an experience we can all be proud of.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
