BACKGROUND: This year marks the 14th Anniversary of the AIDS/LifeCycle event, a seven day ride
that takes place in June. AIDS/LifeCycle is the largest annual fundraising event for the San Francisco
AIDS Foundation. All fundraising dollars from the AIDS/LifeCycle event are used to fund the services that
the SF AIDS Foundation provides.
This is the third AIDS/Lifecycle trial ride (titled: Day on the Ride) to begin and end in San Rafael. This
event brings over four hundred riders, staff and visitors to our City. In 2011 and 2012 Mike's Bike's in
San Rafael hosted this important and high profile training event. The event is returning to San Rafael in
2014. The riders will begin their ride in the City's D Street parking lot.
ANALYSIS: Staff is recommending a small street closure to safely start the riders on the route.
Therefore, staff is recommending closing D Street from Fourth Street to Fifth Avenue from 7:00am to
1 000am. The event will be from 8:00arn — 5:30pm.
The proposal is being coordinated with the Police, Fire, and Public Works. Safety monitors in traffic vests
will be assisting during the road closure.
FISCAL IMPACT: Staff and the Police Department are coordinating any City involvement with the event
producer. Impact is determined to be minimal; the event producer will pay for all related City services as
needed. Cleanup is being handled by the event producers.
ACTION REQUIRED Approve Resolution authorizing temporary closure of D Street from Fourth Street to
Fifth Avenue from 7am to 10arn on April 27, 2014 to allow for safe passage for the AIDS/Lifecycle
athletes to start the event.
