DENVER (KDVR) — Denver Police have a plan in place for weekend Cinco de Mayo drivers on Federal Boulevard this weekend. On Friday night, they started enforcing it.
Friday afternoon, crews started laying down orange cones in a single lane of both northbound and southbound Federal, between Sixth and Evans avenues. It reduced open lanes to one in both directions.
Among those out and about: Alex Trujillo. He is treasurer of the Impalas Car Club's Denver chapter.
"It's an opportunity to showcase our culture," Trujillo said of the tradition for drivers to cruise on Federal Boulevard. "Representation of our people."
Denver Police plan to crack down on loud stereos and excessive horn honking Friday night through Sunday night. The Denver Sheriff Department also has a visible presence.
Trujillo's club plans to play by the rules.
"We just want to be good citizens, good role models and show that hard work can pay off," Trujillo said.
