Statement of Issue, Funding Source, Recommended Action, Alternative Action, Analysis, EnviroWVgntal Status, Attachment(s)
Statement of Issue: The city must obtain permission from the California Department of
Transportation to close Main Street for specific events for the 1996 season.
Funding Source: Not applicable.
Recommended Action: Adopt the attached Resolution declaring the city's intention to close
Main Street on specific dates and times during 1996. .
Alternative Action(s): Do not request closure of Main Street for the 1996 specific events.
Analysis: The city wishes to close Main Street from Pacific Coast Highway to Orange Avenue in
the interests of public safety, crowd access, and event operation. The California Department of
Transportation requires a resolution of the City Council declaring its intention to close Main
Street. Because PCH is a state highway with turn pockets onto Main Street, state law requires
the city to gain CalTrans approval to close Main Street to vehicular traffic. Time is of the essence
for this approval as the first event sponsored by the downtown merchants and the city is the Art
Fair, March 23 and 24.
