TOPIC: POINT SAN PEDRO ROAD SPECIAL EVENT STREET CLOSURES
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CLOSURE OF POINT SAN PEDRO ROAD FROM
RIVIERA DRIVE TO BISCAYNE DRIVE FOR THE MARIN COUNTY HALF MARATHON,
APRIL 26, 2020 AND THE MARIN COUNTY TRIATHLON, OCTOBER 24-25, 2020
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The Marin County Half Marathon and the Marin County Triathlon are two fundraising events produced
annually by Sustainable Sports on Point San Pedro Road from Riviera Drive to Biscayne Drive. Advance
approval for these two similar annual events significantly streamlines the approval process without
sacrificing City input and control.
All Street Closures for Special Events are coordinated by Event Staff with the Police Department Traffic
Division, Parking Services, Public Works as well as other departments who provide input for the street
closure, or any individual special event service needed.
If approval is granted for the two stated events, the Events Coordinator will continue to process all event
applications as in previous years. Event producers will be required to submit an Event Application, fulfill
insurance requirements and indemnify the City from liability associated with the event, and provide
detailed information regarding operation, logistics and activities included in the event. The Events
Coordinator will ensure event organizers effectively manage community notifications of potential event
impacts as well as associated street closures.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH:
Merchants, businesses, residents and general public are notified of the street closures through a variety
of traditional outlets including mailed notices, public service messages, homeowners’ associations, event
posters, etc.
