GREEN BAY (NBC 26) -- Police are alerting drivers to be aware of pedestrian traffic on Sunday as protests in response to George Floyd's death continue in downtown Green Bay.

There will likely be traffic delays and/or traffic congestion in the downtown neighborhoods of both east and west Green Bay, police said.

"Planned gatherings and demonstrations will be traveling from one side of the city to the other during the afternoon hours," Green Bay Police stated in a news release.

Police also issued a map of a probable route of travel (see above).

There isn't a specific time for when these delays are expected to occur. Drivers are asked to avoid the areas if at all possible and look for different routes of travel.

The areas impacted are east of Ashland Avenue of the west side of the city and west of Monroe Avenue on the east side of the city, police said. Vehicle traffic will be affected throughout the afternoon.
