FP_ 11, -7 J U L 2 S 1992 boa FA,E IS The formal request for the road closures along with other correspondence and the Environmental Learning Center's co-insurance affidavits are attached to this request. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Upon receiving the initial request for road closure, Traffic Engineering and Sheriff Department staff considered maintaining one lane of traffic during the event. This alternative was discarded because of the great range of ages of the participants and the fact that all participants will be required to run both eastbound and westbound on the section of roadway involved. The fact that the bridge itself restricts sight distance is also a complicating factor affecting safety. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Given the benefits which will accrue to the general public from this Environmental Learning Center event, the very limited time period involved, and the minimal inconvenience to the general motoring public, staff recommends that the segment of CR510 from Live Oak Drive, easterly to approximately 100 yards west of SRAlA be closed from the 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM along with a closure of Live Oak Drive from the Environmental Learning Center northerly to CR510, from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the Board approve the request to close Wabasso Road and Live Oak Drive on October 24, 1992 for the "Wabasso Bridge 5 R Run" during the hours set out in staff's recommendation. Under discussion, Commissioner Bird asked if there was any troubles caused by closing this road for last year's race, and Bruce Barkett answered from his seat in the audience that he had participated in the race last year and wasn't aware of any problems. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously.
