02/28/2002 09:48 AM Subject: Road Races--Council Approval of Street Closures
As you know, the Code states, under Section 26.66, that a roadway may be temporarily closed to
vehicular traffic for the duration of the race; thus City Council action is not necessary. In checking with
Scott Logan, he advised that Steve Schainker prefers for the very large road races (e.g., Midnight
Madness)and new requests (e.g. the APBA race)to go to City Council if street closures are necessary.
Mr. Logan's rationale is that we are not familiar with how the races that have not previously been held will
be handled -- how well organized they are, if adequate volunteers/workers are present to move
barricades, etc.
Per Scott Logan, the APBA race does need to go to Council for approval of street closures. Please advise
Officer Shelton and place it on the March 26th agenda.
Thank you.
