County Engineer %syr <br />DATE: March 2, 2018 <br />SUBJECT Yakima River Canyon Marathon and Half Marathon Event Application <br />After review of the application and letter dated February 13, 2018 for the proposed Yakima River <br />Canyon Marathon and Half Marathon Event. I have found that the Yakima River Canyon <br />Marathon committee addresses Traffic Control and safety on Public Roads under section three <br />and four of the aforementioned letter. Section three states the Yakima River Canyon Marathon <br />committee is working with the Yakima and Kittitas sheriff's departments, Yakima and Ellensburg <br />police departments, and WSDOT to provide a safe race. Section four states that only local area <br />residents, fisherman, volunteers and course officials will be permitted on State Highway 821 <br />from 7:00 a.m, until 3:00 pm. And that passes will be issued to those who require access during <br />that time. Additionally it is identified that WSDOT will be working to assist in notification of the <br />closure to trucks and other traffic. <br />According to the map depicting the course, Canyon Rd, Berry Rd, Tjossem Rd, and Woodhouse <br />Loop will all be affected in conjunction with State Highway 821. Kittitas County Public Works will <br />require "Runners Ahead" signs to be placed at the intersections of these roadways to warn the <br />traveling public. <br />Additionally Public Works suggest the applicant be required to issue advanced notification of the <br />event in the Daily Record to prepare the traveling public for of the associated traffic impacts <br />created by this event. <br />I recommend approval of this event based on these conditions being upheld. Please feel free to <br />contact Kittitas County Public Works with any additional questions you may have at 509-962- <br />7523. <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />411 N.
