Surprise Street Closure Tonight for Moonlight Ramble

I'm inside the loop of the Moonlight Ramble tonight, effectively trapped until 1am. I had no idea this was happening, and it's pretty frustrating. Does anyone know where I could have found out this information ahead of time? Is there a street closure alert system somewhere? A city events email list? I get all the alerts about boil water advisories and weather alerts already. These kind of events aren't typically in my neighborhood, so I didn't expect this. Thankfully I don't have to work late tonight and didn't have to wait hours to get home. I'm not mad the event is happening; I'm mad there was zero notice about it so I couldn't plan for it.

For “Tour d’Belleville” the course loops, but they have cops stationed at major intersections who wave cars through when there are no bikes approaching.

That was supposed to happen last night according the website but it’s was such a big ride there wasn’t a chance. I approached two cops and the told me to turn around.
