RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing temporary road closures.
BACKGROUND:
The eleventh annual Marin County Triathlon, which will take place on November 3 and 4, 2018, is
originated and produced by the non-profit Sustainable Sports Foundation. All net proceeds of this event
benefit the Foundation's unique program of giving children from low-income families in Marin County the
opportunity to learn how to swim and be safe in the water. Over $25,000 was raised at last year's event
and a total of over $850,000 has been raised since the inaugural event in 2008. Up to 800 local and
national athletes are expected to participate this year. This event has become one of the most successful
continuous fundraiser events in Marin County.
The producer has contacted the residents in the Peacock Gap area to inform them of this year’s event;
the producer has received a positive response. The promoter takes responsibility of contacting and
informing all affected residents of the temporary road closure and works with San Rafael Police
Department and City staff if any issues occur during the event hours.
ANALYSIS:
The road closure engaged on Point San Pedro Road for this event are within the traditional road closures
and a traffic management plan designed by City Staff for athletic events centered at McNears Beach
Park. Only the northern third of Point San Pedro road is affected by a traffic diversion for incoming traffic,
which will be diverted at Riviera Drive. The road closures will be put in place by City staff and will be
managed during the event by San Rafael Police Department staff. The staff costs associated with the
road closure will be paid for by the event producer.
