Cook, Director <br />CC: <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />SUBJECT: <br />MEMORANDUM <br />Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners <br />Candie Leader, Admi n istrative Supervisor <br />Road Forman (Ryan Berge) <br />01128t2020 <br />Gran Fondo Special Event Application <br />After review of the special eventapplication forthe Gran Fondo scheduled forJune 14, <br />2020, I have found that the applicant has identified that this event will not obstruct, <br />interfere or require the closure and free use of public roads and rights of way. <br />Although this event does not require closures or roadway detours, this is unordinary <br />road use that the traveling public is not routinely exposed to. This amount of bicycle <br />traffic would however obstruct and interfere with normal motorized vehicle use. Public <br />Works requires traffic control techniques be implemented for this event. This may <br />include large orange "Bikes on the Roadway" signs placed along the route and <br />intersections. The safety of both the event participants, and the traveling public would <br />benefit from advanced warning signs being implemented as the risk of bicycle and <br />motorized vehicle conflicts would be reduced. <br />Additionally, the applicant will be required to issue advanced notification for the event <br />and any traffic impacts in the Daily Record and the Northern Kittitas County Tribune two <br />weeks in advance to inform the traveling public. <br />Public Works recommends approval of this event based on these conditions being <br />upheld. <br />Please feel free to contact Kittitas County Public Works with any questions you may <br />have at 509-962-7523. <br />411 N. Ruby St., Suite #1 <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />TEL <br />FAX <br />(509) 962-7523 <br />(509) 962-7663
