DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY AND EVENT AT THE YAKIMA CANYON MAY 19, 2013 BY THE YAKIMA COUNTY CRIME STOPPERS' "YOUR CANYON FOR A DAY BIKE TOUR" The Yakima County Crime Stoppers' "Your Canyon for a Day Bike Tour" is a fun ride designed for the whole family to enjoy the Yakima Canyon without any through traffic. This is Yakima County Crime Stoppers' only fund raiser with the funds to be used for rewards paid out to tipsters who are instrumental in the apprehension of felons. This will be the tenth year we have sponsored the bicycle tour in the Yakima Canyon. We had approximately 1,000 riders last year with over 50% of them starting the ride at the Yakima River RV Park in Ellensburg. The majority of our riders come from the Westside of Washington. We will be using the Roza Recreation site and the Yakima River RV Park as our staging areas for the bicycle ride. The riders will leave from the Roza site or the RV Park and travel north or south on SR 821 then turn around at Thrall Road or the Roza site and return the their staging site. The RV Park and the Roza site will mainly be used for participants to park and unload/load their bicycles. In the NE corner of the Roza parking lot we will also be selling concessions as we have done in years past. Coca-Cola may be providing a small trailer which will be at the concession site to dispense soft drinks with all profits going to the Yakima County Crime Stoppers. Even though we have worked with the Department of Transportation to close SR821 to through vehicle traffic, we understand there will be others using the canyon and we will be sharing the facilities at the Roza Site with them. We will be providing the following: 1. Portable toilets (8 total) Two at the Roza site (both with hand sanitization equipment and one for handicapped access). One at Big Rock rest site. One at Umtanum/Big pines rest site. Two at Thrall Road site (both with hand sanitization equipment and one for handicapped access). Two at Yakima RV Park. 1 2. Traffic Control - we will have 8 officers 2 Yakima Police Officers and 2 Yakima County Sheriff Deputies patrolling the canyon during the ride. 2 Yakima County Sheriff Deputies on duty at each barricade on both ends of the canyon. 2 at Thrall road on the Ellensburg side and two at the Firing Center entrance of the canyon. 3. Road closure signs will be posted 48 hours before the ride at each end of the canyon and during the ride. All residents will be notified five days before the ride and given a pass they can show the day of the ride. All campers will be notified the day before the ride of the 25 mile an hour speed limit in the canyon during the ride (Red's Fly Shop will also be notified). 25 mile an hour speed signs will be posted in the canyon during the ride. 4. Emergency medical personal from ALS Ambulance will be posted during the ride in the canyon. 5. Garbage and Recycling At each rest stop we will have garbage and recycling cans. At the end of the ride we will carry all garbage and recycling out of the canyon to 1-1&14 Furniture, owned by Mark Peterson, Yakima County Crime Stoppers Board PresidenVMcinber. Recycled items will be transported to Michaelson's Packaging next to H&H Furniture. We will have 5 rest sites with the garbage and recycling cans. 6. All food given out at the rest sites will be prepackaged granola bars, sport drinks, and water. At the Roza site Coca-Cola may be providing a small trailer to dispense soft drinks with all profits going to the Yakima County Crime Stoppers.
