Passage of this motion will result in the Lakeville Police Department being able to minimize cyclist/motor vehicle interaction /conflict during the "Gran Fondo" portion of the Ironman Bike Event. Overview A "Gran Fondo" event is taking place near the beginning of the Ironman this year. A "Gran Fondo" is a mass start ride with each rider being issued a timing chip. There will be a 7:00 AM start time for the 100 mile route (up to 500 participants) and a 7:30 start time for the 50 mile route (up to 1,000 participants). For each start, there will be a rolling closure of the intersections they travel through with each intersection being closed only as long as it takes the riding pack to pass through. Primary Issues to Consider Prevent cyclists from having to stop at control points. Prevent cyclist/motor vehicle interaction /conflict. Minimize inconvenience to motoring public.
