Due to a scheduled protest at Lewisville High School on June 2, the Lewisville Police Department is recommending residents avoid the intersection of Main Street and Valley Parkway.

If not intending to participate in the protest, Lewisville police are recommending residents find an alternate route to their destination between the hours of 6-8 p.m.

“We commend residents for exercising their right to voice their concerns, and we share their desire for justice and equality,” the department announced on social media. “[Residents] should consider taking an alternate route today to avoid possible traffic delays.”

The protest is expected to be related to a wave of protests nationwide in support of George Floyd, a black man who died May 25 in police custody in Minneapolis.
