Nelson <br />County Administrator <br />SUBJECT: Traffic Control for Requested <br />Bike-A-Thon <br />REFERENCES: <br />... <br />Ir <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The County received a request from Ms. Betty Huber of the Atlantic <br />Christian Academy in Wabasso, inquiring about the feasibility of <br />closing CR5A (Old Dixie Highway) from N. Winter Beach Road to 86th <br />Street for the purpose of holding a Bike-A-Thon on March 27, 1982. <br />The proceeds of the event are to be donated to St. Jude Children's <br />Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />A.

Alternate access to proper- <br />ties abutting CR5A is available via SR 5, thus minimizing <br />inconvenience to local residents. <br />B. The applicants request for closing CR5A can be denied. <br />RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING <br />It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve <br />of the request for the Bike-A-Thon and that Staff personnel take <br />appropriate action regarding this request. <br />22 <br />
