County Engineer <br />DATE: <br />March 26, 2018 <br />SUBJECT: <br />Ellensburg Triathlon Special Event Application <br />After review of the application and letters dated March 22"d, 2018 for the proposed "Ellensburg <br />Triathlon," I have found that the applicant has identified that this event will obstruct, interfere or <br />require the closure and free use of public roads and rights of way. <br />The application identifies the use of Umptanum and Manastash Roads as part of the bike <br />course. Applicant has stated the event will require road closure or detour signs, but did not <br />provide traffic or detour plans. This is unordinary road use that the traveling public is not <br />routinely exposed to. Public Works will require traffic control techniques to be implemented for <br />this event, which will include traffic control plans, and or signing plans being provided to the <br />County for review. The safety of both the event participants, and the traveling public would <br />benefit from advanced warning signs, and traffic control strategies such as bikes on roadway <br />signs that would help mitigate the risk of bicycle and motorized vehicle conflicts <br />The applicant will be required to work with Kittitas County Public Works to plan and deploy traffic <br />control strategies along County roads for the protection of event participants and routine <br />motorized traffic. <br />Additionally the applicant will be required to issue advanced notification for the event and any <br />traffic impacts in the Daily Record and NKC Tribune two weeks in advance to inform the <br />traveling public. <br />Public Works recommends approval of this event based on these conditions being upheld. <br />Please feel free to contact Kittitas County Public Works with any additional questions you may <br />have at 509-962-7523. <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />411 N.
