May 21-27, the city of Dayton will be restricted and extra busy due to NATO<\/a>\u2019s Parliamentary Assembly over this year\u2019s Memorial Day weekend. Fortunately for many, Montgomery County\u2019s Representative Mike Turner made a point to set this meeting during Memorial Day weekend, minimizing the hassle that is the traffic surrounding NATO village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While things are still subject to change, Brandon Policicchio with Dayton\u2019s local public transportation system, the RTA<\/a>, has said that the RTA will run its regular services with minor re-routes while the assembly takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roadways around Sinclair College will not be restricted, although faculty and students can expect increased traffic due to the downtown restrictions. The NATO village will block vehicular traffic from Monument Ave., Wilkinson St., Fourth St. and St. Clair St., while pedestrian access will be limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dayton is home to human aviation and one of the largest air force bases in the United States of America. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base<\/a> is also where the Dayton Accords, ending the Bosnian War<\/a>, were signed in 1995. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States hasn\u2019t hosted NATO since 2003. Still, Mike Turner is glad to welcome the over 300 parliamentarians of the 32 countries that make up NATO to our city while simultaneously celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as Sinclair is concerned, Director of External Affairs Scott Marshall said, \u201cAs the City of Dayton prepares to host NATO\u2019s Parliamentary Assembly from May 22-26, Sinclair\u2019s Dayton campus will remain open and in full swing with our Summer Term classes beginning May 19.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
