KITTIIIE.S (C(oI'NrifY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />Mark R. Cook, Director <br />CC: <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />SUBJECT <br />MEMORANDUM <br />Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners <br />Candie Leader, Adm i nistrative Supervisor <br />Ryan Berge, Assistant Maintenance Manager <br />March 14,2023 <br />Gran Fondo Ellensburg Special Event Application <br />After review of the special event application for the Gran Fondo Ellensburg event <br />scheduled for June 11,2023, Public Works has found that the applicant has identified <br />that this event will not obstruct, interfere, or require the closure and free use of public <br />roads and rights of way. <br />As this event does not require closures or roadway detours, this is unordinary road use <br />that the traveling public is not routinely exposed to. The amount of bicycle traffic will <br />however obstruct and interfere with normal motorized vehicle use. Public Works will <br />require traffic control be implemented for this event. This may include large orange <br />"Bikes on Roadway" signs placed along the route and intersections. Safety of both the <br />event participants and the traveling public would benefit from advanced warning signs <br />being implemented as the risk of bicycle and motorized vehicle conflicts would be <br />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 public. <br />Public Works recommends approval of this event based on these conditions being <br />upheld. <br />Feel free to contact Kittitas County Public Works at 509-962 -7523 with any questions. <br />411 N.
