SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing temporary street closures for the San Rafael Twilight Criterium from
12 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 27, 2013
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution.
BACKGROUND: This will be the 14`h year for the San Rafael Twilight Criterium, and Project Sport will be
the event producer. This year's event features four races and a expo area on B Street. The pro races for
men and women are expected to attract full fields from top professional teams in the country and a few
international teams. There will also be a locally sponsored "Beer Garden" which provides income to the
event and the non -profits associated with Project Sport. The majority of the races are in the late
afternoon and early evening and providing several hours of business operation before racing begins to
reduce the street closure impact on merchants. Project Sport will be working with the BID to give
Downtown businesses opportunities to promote their businesses at the event.
ANALYSIS: The streets proposed to be closed are:
1. Fourth Street from Lootens Place to "B" Street (noon to 10 p.m.)
2. "B" Street from Fourth Street to Fifth Ave. (noon to10 p.m.)
3. Fourth Street from "A" Street to "D" Street (12:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.)

8. "D" Street from Third Street to Fifth Avenue (12:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.)
The proposal will be coordinated with the Police, Fire and Public Works Departments, St. Raphael's
Church, the Rafael Film Center, Cushman/Wakefield (managers of 1000 Fourth Street) and
Monahan/Parker Properties. The race is scheduled to end by approximately 9 p.m. and streets will
generally be reopened within thirty minutes.
