As St. Patrick’s Day celebrations ….

As St. Patrick’s Day celebrations typically bring large crowds to the Main Street pubs and restaurants, there will also be additional police officers on foot patrol to conduct DUI enforcement. In an effort to reduce the occurrence of drunk driving, increase public safety, pedestrian safety and facilitate a safe and fun St. Patrick’s Day, an active pick-up and drop-off zone has been designated for the Main Street and Old Town area.

The zone will be a dedicated area for rideshare vehicles and designated drivers to safely pick up and drop off riders.

The active zone will be in the 900 block of Ocean Avenue, between Main and 10th streets along the south curb (next to Eisenhower Park).

The zone will be active today, March 17, from noon until 2:30 a.m.

The Seal Beach Police Department has partnered with rideshare companies Uber and Lyft, and rideshare services on Main Street will be directed to the zone on St. Patrick’s Day.

The goal of the Seal Beach Police Department is to provide a safe and enjoyable St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
