Adam – The applicant and participants should be reminded to ride as far to the right as practical per City
code. Participants should also be reminded to follow the rules-of-the road as they progress through the route. When
using the trail system, participants should be reminded to be courteous to other ‘non-participants’ using the trails as
they will not be closed to the public.
As a side note – this ride is scheduled for a start time of 5:30 which is near peak hour traffic. Even if the ride could start
closer to 6:00 it would likely give peak hour traffic a little more time to ‘clear-up’ and provide a safer (and more
enjoyable) ride.
If they have not already done do, the applicant also need to contact Coralville to advise them of the plans.
Thanks

Kent – please review and comment.
Kris – we typically will review the proposed route, identify any issues due to construction or if we do not think it is a
good route, and remind participants to observe rules of the road, traffic signals, and stay as far to the right as is practical
when on-street due to other traffic. . . . .
