## Resource

Providence is shutting down parts of Roger Williams Park after dark to tackle late-night chaos — loud parties, speeding, and reckless behavior that’s been rattling nearby residents. Starting Saturday, roads will close at 9 PM until morning, with extra police patrols on bikes and foot to deter trouble. This summer-long experiment, kicking off after a recent shooting at a pop-up party, aims to restore peace — and the city will evaluate its success before deciding if these measures stick around past Labor Day.
