ABC 7 Talkback: Army Ten-Miler Road Closings Released

Has the Army locked down vehicular access at any residential buildings as the Marines did last year for many hours at River Place in Arlington? I don't mind road closures for these events, but I don't think they have any legal authority to deny anyone the basic property right of access to and from public streets. Yet they did it here simply because they could get away with it, aided by County government. Does anyone have any knowledge of what other cities like Boston do with marathons?
