LAKEVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT REQUEST TO CLOSE CITY STREETS FOR
THE IRONMAN EVENT
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to allow a temporary closure
of City streets for the Ironman Bike Event.
Passage of this motion will result in the Lakeville Police Department being able to
minimize cyclist/motor vehicle interaction /conflict during the "Gran Fonda" portion of the
Ironman Bike Event.
A "Gran Fondo" portion is being introduced to 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 68
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.
• Prevent cyclists from having to stop at control points.
• Prevent cyclist/motor vehicle interaction /conflict.
• Minimize inconvenience to motoring public.
• Aerial view of road sections for which closure is requested.
