The Dayton Police Department announced that the roads closed due to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly will start reopening effective immediately.
However, the tear down process will require 'coordination among multiple vendors and city personnel,' according to the department.
The fences will come down and roads will reopen in the following order:
Fencing at Riverscape
Monument Avenue
Main Street
First Street, and anything on side streets north of First Street
All streets west of Main Street, including West Second Street, West Third Street and Ludlow Street
East Third Street and St. Clair Street
East Second Street, between N. Main Street and Patterson Boulevard
Fencing at Courthouse Square
Police said some of the barriers could be moved to the side of the road which could cause some lane restrictions until they are removed.
Dayton resident Loree Overman said she thinks it's nice to see the area starting to look like normal again.
'I'm happy its being cleared up, but it really wasn't a problem. You just followed directions and found your way through,' Overman said.

Cobb County schools is ‘not going to invest' in storage for cellphones, superintendent says
Georgia lawmakers passed legislation to ban student access to phones during the legislative session. Now, the Cobb County School District says it won't be investing its budget into storage for phones at its schools. Cobb County School Superintendent Chris Ragsdale gave the update to parents, the school board and other community members at a meeting on Thursday. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] 'We will continue to communicate with parents throughout the school year as how that implementation is going to look. I can say that we are not going to invest any money into storage solutions for cellphones. The law allows us to determine what that storage place is going to be. And the storage place is going to be in a student's backpack or purse or pocketbook,' Ragsdale said.

Policy decisions have a January 2026 deadline, with additional months for implementation. For Cobb County's schools, Ragsdale said the district is going to update the student code of conduct and ensure all students and parents know the new rules. 'We will be making updates to the student code of conduct so that all students will be aware, as will parents, what the punishment would be for that,' Ragsdale said. 'We are certainly going to adhere to the law and follow the law as we always do. But the bottom line is we're going to be focused on having school.' The phone ban passed the legislation as the 'Distraction-free Education Act,' which would block students in kindergarten through eighth grade from having phones out or accessible while in class.

British jets intercept Russian spy plane over Baltic Sea, Poland calls it NATO readiness test
British fighter jets intercepted a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft that violated airspace over the Baltic Sea on the morning of June 13, Poland's military command reported. "This is another case of provocative testing of the readiness of NATO countries' systems," the statement said, adding that NATO command structures are now analyzing the incident. The Russian Il-20, based on the Il-18 transport aircraft, is used for electronic surveillance and reconnaissance missions. It is equipped with radar and signal intelligence gear designed to collect information on military infrastructure and communication networks. According to the military command, the aircraft entered Baltic Sea airspace at approximately 10:50 a.m. and was promptly intercepted by two British fighter jets operating out of Poland. No further details were disclosed about the exact location of the encounter or how long the Russian aircraft remained in restricted airspace. The incident adds to a series of aerial provocations reported by NATO allies since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Poland has repeatedly scrambled jets in response to Russian missile and drone attacks near its border. On Feb. 11, a Russian Su-24MR reconnaissance aircraft flew into Polish airspace over the Bay of Gdansk for more than a minute. Moscow attributed the incursion to a navigational error, but Polish officials dismissed the claim as implausible. Poland shares a long border with Ukraine and a northern coastline along the Baltic Sea, where Russia's militarized Kaliningrad exclave is located. Warsaw has repeatedly warned that Russia's ongoing aerial provocations could lead to a dangerous escalation if not firmly countered.
