Background
The "2014 Scott Road Bike & Walk Event" (Event) is in support of regional "2014 May is Bike Month" sponsored by the Sacramento County, City of Folsom, City of Rancho Cordova and County of El Dorado. The other supporting Counties are closing portions of Scott Road, White Rock Road and Placerville Road in Sacramento County. These closures will provide bicyclists and pedestrians with an opportunity to travel on stretches of road with no through motor vehicle traffic that have rolling hills and impressive views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The Event will be held on Sunday, May 4, 2014, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
The Event will close White Rock Road approximately 1,100 feet from the El Dorado County line to Carson Crossing Road. The sponsors have requested the road closures between 8:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m.
The in-kind services cost estimate for the Event is approximately $1,500.00 which includes two maintenance staff for six hours each, vehicle usage for five hours, and 168 hours of CMS usage. Staff cost estimate is based on use of two Highway Maintenance Supervisors and may be less depending on who is assigned to the event. CMS cost estimate includes programming and setup plus seven day placement of CMS for advanced notice of road closure.
Reason for Recommendation
The Transportation Division is recommending Board approval of the road closures to provide for the safety of participants, volunteers and spectators along the course, and to assist in the success of this community event. Other involved agencies have made no objections to this closure.
