BACKGROUND: This is the 16 th year that the San Rafael Twilight Criterium bike race will be held in
Downtown San Rafael, with Project Sport as the event producer. This year's event features four races

top professional teams in the country as well as a few international teams. There will be a locally
sponsored "Beer Garden" which provides income to the event and the non -profits associated with Project
Sport. Project Sport will work with the BID to give Downtown merchants opportunities to promote their
businesses at the event.

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.
