6.3.C. - Page 2 As part of their fundraising activities, the cadets propose hosting a 5k run/1 mile walk. It is anticipated that upwards of 500 runners will participate in the event this year. The event is slated to start and finish on the 1700 block of Seaport Boulevard, in conjunction with a law enforcement demonstration that will be occurring simultaneously. On October 14, 2017, at 8:00 a.m., the 5k run begins and will go west on Seaport Boulevard, following the road counterclockwise as it goes around Pacific Shores, then travels westbound on Seaport Boulevard, with a turnaround at Chesapeake Drive. Participants will follow the same route in reverse for the return leg, with the finish line being in front of 1700 Seaport Boulevard. The 1 mile walk will begin at 8:15 a.m. at 1700 Seaport Boulevard. It will go west on Seaport Boulevard, following the road counter clockwise as it goes around the Pacific Shores complex. At a specified location, the route turns left onto a footpath and goes through the Pacific Shores complex, and then turns left onto Seaport Boulevard and finishes as the same place it started. Both events are expected to be completed by 9:30 a.m. Should alterations be required, any change to the race routes will be determined under the supervision and approval of the Police Chief or his designee. A map is attached for reference. The owners of the Pacific Shores complex support the event and have consented to the use of their property for the stated purpose. The cadets have completed an extensive notification process to the affected businesses along the route and no objections have been received by staff. ALTERNATIVES The City Council could choose not to adopt a Resolution authorizing the street closure. The selection of this alternative would prohibit the Run with the Cops event from taking place in Redwood City. FISCAL IMPACT The Redwood City Police Department cadets will volunteer their services to conduct traffic control on the day of the event. The cadets will also provide personnel to conduct the necessary postings of the affected roadways under the supervision of the Police Department. There are no other City services required. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed action is not a "project" for purposes of CEQA, as that term is defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and does not require environmental review.
