Cook, Director <br />MEMORANDUM <br />Kittitas Gounty Board of Gounty Commissioners <br />Candie Leader, Contracts Specialist <br />Ryan Berge, Maintenance Manager <br />February 26,2024 <br />Hl90 Grindy Special Event Application <br />After review of the special event application for the Hl90 Grindy scheduled for June 8, <br />2024, Public Works has found that the applicant has identified that this event will not <br />obstruct, interfere, or require the closure and free use of public 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 to 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.
