MEMORANDUM
TO: Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Lucas Huck P.E. County Engineer/
DATE: March 20, 2018
SUBJECT Gran Fondo Ellensburg Special Event Application
After review of the application and letters dated February 12th, 2018 for the proposed "Gran
Fondo Ellensburg," I have found that the applicant has identified that this event will not obstruct,
interfere or require the closure and free use of public roads and rights of way.
Illustrations identifying the proposed route in which 100-200 riders will occupy several County
roads (88 miles) for over seven hours have been reviewed. Although this event does not require
closures or roadway detours, this is unordinary road use that the traveling public is not routinely
exposed to. This amount of bicycle traffic would obstruct or interfere with normal motorized
vehicle use. Public Works requires traffic control techniques be implemented for this event.
This may include chalk Dan Henry signs on the roadway or large orange "Bikes on the
Roadway" signs placed along the route and at intersections. The safety of both the event
participants, and the traveling public would benefit from these traffic control strategies being
implemented as the risk of bicycle and motorized vehicle conflicts would be reduced.
Additionally the applicant will be required to issue advanced notification for the event and any
traffic impacts in the Daily Record and NKC Tribune two weeks in advance to inform the
traveling public.
Public Works recommends approval of this event based on these conditions being upheld.
Please feel free to contact Kittitas County Public Works with any additional questions you may
have at 509-962-7523.

RE: Recommendation for Gran Fondo Ellensburg on 06/10/2018
Dear Board of County Commissioners,
The Sheriff's Office has no concerns on the county roads portion of this event
provided that all traffic laws are followed and no special traffic control is being
utilized.
I would suggest contacting the State Department of Transportation and Washington
State Patrol for any approvals required for the legs of the race occurring on State
Highways and the Cities of Cle Elum and South Cle Elum for the legs going through
their jurisdiction's.
Also note that for emergencies they call Kittcom dispatch (509)-925-8534 and for
non -emergencies they can call our office at 509-962-7525.
Sincerely,
Gene Dana,
Sheriff
