City of La Palma Agenda Item No. 5 MEETING DATE: March 4, 2013 TO: FROM: SUBMITTED BY: CITY COUNCIL CITY MANAGER Mike Belknap, Community Services Director AGENDA TITLE: 2014 Street Closures for City Special Events PURPOSE: Annually, City staff submits a request to the City Council for approval of street closures for three community events. BACKGROUND: Posting of arterial road closures must occur 30 days in advance of each event. The Community Services Department meets with the Police Department after each event to debrief and discuss logistical concerns for the coming year. In addition, staff meets with the specific groups that participate in those events such as Community Activities Beautification (CAB) and Parade Committees to discuss how the events went and what could be done differently. Prior to the specific event, written notification, reminder notices and information are sent to those residents and businesses affected by the closures. The Police Department has reviewed and approved the street closure plans as presented. SUMMARY: The following sections identify the specific closures requested. Memorial Day Monday, May 26, 2014 Walker Street will be closed from Thelma Avenue to La Palma Avenue from 9:00 a.m. through the conclusion of the ceremony at approximately 11:15 a.m. Those attending the ceremony will be allowed to park in the Civic Center and Central Park parking lots up to the 9:00 a.m. closure. Fitness Run for Fun Friday, July 4, 2014 Based on the attached route map, this event requires closure of: Walker Street between Crescent Avenue and the Edison ROW between 6:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Agenda Item 5 Page 1
Walker Street between the Edison ROW and Houston between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. or the end of the race. Houston Avenue between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Chartres Lane, Toulouse Drive and Orleans Lane, just north of Houston Avenue between 7:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Neighborhood traffic will be directed to intersections where they may safely leave the area without compromising the safety of the participants. The Number Two westbound lane on Crescent Avenue between Moody Street and Walker Street and the Number Two northbound lane on Moody Street between Houston Avenue and Crescent Avenue between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. La Palma Days Saturday, November 8, 2014 This event requires numerous street closures, primarily for the parade. The use of Houston Avenue is being requested for closure from the east side of Orleans Lane to Walker Street, for parade traffic only. Staff will ensure that the residents on Dallas Drive and Houston Avenue frontage roads between Kevin Lane and Walker Street are informed of this in the same manner done for others (letters and a reminder notice 1 to 2 weeks before the event). City streets will re-open at various times (as noted on the attached schedule) depending on the number of entries, parking of buses on Walker Street, and length of the parade. ALTERNATIVES: The Fitness Run for Fun and La Palma Days Parade would not be possible without street closure approval. The Memorial Day Ceremony could continue without the street closure, recognizing that car noise may impact the solemnity of the occasion and the ability of attendees to hear the guest speakers. FISCAL IMPACT: The combined cost for street closures, based on past cost for the City s four events, will be approximately $25,300: Memorial Day: Community Services $ 600 Police $ 500 Fitness Run for Fun: Community Services $9,600 Police $4,700 La Palma Days: Community Services $6,300 Police $9,000 Agenda Item 5 Page 2
