- M M <br />TO: James E. Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />THROUM: James W. Davis, P.E. , <br />Public Works Director <br />FROM: Robert B. Zaitooni, P.E. PP <br />County Traffic Engineer <br />SUBJECT: Environmental Learning Center <br />Third Annual 5R Road Race <br />Request for Road Closure <br />DATE: August 30, 1993 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The Environmental Learning Center is proposing to conduct its <br />Third Annual "Wabasso Bridge 5 R Run" at 8:00 AM on Saturday, <br />October 23, 1993. The 3.1 mile run will start and end at the <br />Environmental Learning Center on Live Oak Drive and will <br />utilize CR 510, the high bridge, and an additional segment of <br />CR 510 west of SR AlA. It is anticipated that between 100 and <br />200 runners of all ages will participate in this race which is <br />projected to consume approximately -45 minutes. <br />Since the race participants will include persons from "8 thru <br />80 years of age" and the race course will involve the <br />participants running both eastbound and westbound on CR 510, <br />the County Traffic Engineer and representatives of the <br />Sheriff's Department have determined that, for safety reasons, <br />this section of roadway should be closed to all vehicular <br />traffic from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM for the race. <br />This method was used last October for the race with no problem <br />since the closure is of such short duration. <br />l <br />Traffic Engineering will place signs a week befdre the event <br />at both the US 1 and SR AlA intersections indicating that the <br />roadway will be closed between 8 & 9 AM on October 23, 1993. <br />The signs used last year will be re -used. Also, Indian River <br />County will provide, deliver, and pick 'up the proper <br />barricades and cones to be placed by the Environmental <br />Learning Center volunteers. <br />Sheriff deputies will be on duty at both the easterly and <br />westerly portions of the roadway closure. <br />In addition, Vero Beach High School ROTC cadets in uniform, <br />will be utilized to restrict any and all traffic attempting to <br />enter CR 510 via the few side streets involved. <br />The Environmental Learning Center will have emergency and <br />support vehicles along the route to assist any person or <br />persons who cannot complete the run within one hour and a <br />refreshment stand will be available to assist as well. <br />The formal request for the. road closures along with other <br />correspondence and the Environmental Learning Center's co- <br />insurance affidavits are attached to this request. <br />5 <br />SEP 71993 B60K 90 FA;c. 4 <br />
