Resolution to Approve E. Washington Street Closing for Lite Bike on Sunday, September 15, 2013
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration and approval is a request from Bike A2, with sponsorship by The Arbor Brewing Company to close half the block of East Washington Street from South Main Street to the public alley toward South Fourth Avenue on Sunday, September 15, 2013 starting at 5:00 P.M. and ending at 11:00. The actual event takes place from 7:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. with the additional time being used for set-up before the event. The intersection of South Main and Washington Street will remain open during the event.
The mission of Lite Bike is to inspire leaders, business owners, and citizens of Ann Arbor to support initiatives that will enable more people to ride bikes more often. There will be a 4-mile, night-time, bike ride through the City, though no street closures are required for this. Marshals will ensure that riders are compliant with all traffic laws.
