- Recovered bicycles with license stickers can easily be returned to the owner no matter which police jurisdiction recovers them
- Always lock your bike, the vast majority of stolen bikes are not locked

BLOCK PARTY PERMITS:
The City of Batavia will provide barricades and help you determine a suitable location (if desired) for your neighborhood block party. Because barricades do not include blinking lights, the party must be removed from the street by dusk. Permits must be printed out, completed and returned to the Police Department. Barricades and permission cannot be guaranteed for party’s submitting requests with less than 48 business hours notice of said party. Barricades will be delivered by the City Street Department prior to your party and picked up following. It will be the responsibility of a member of your group to set up and remove barricades at the end of the party. Note: The City of Batavia has an ordinance prohibiting the consumption or possession of open containers of alcoholic beverages on public streets. Questions?
