Madison police are reaching out to college students across the upper Midwest with a heads-up about the tighter guidelines for Saturday?s Mifflin Street Block Party. Spokesman Joel DeSpain told Madison.com a dozen emails were sent on Monday to college campus newspapers.”We want our out-of-town visitors to know the protocol we are expecting this year,” DeSpain said. “We need to do things differently this year to make sure everybody stays safe.” A quick check Tuesday morning of campus newspapers receiving the email showed none had posted the information online.
