Public safety outlines RAGBRAI route, road closures and volunteer needs
Summary
Public-safety staff described closures and traffic-management plans for RAGBRAI: roads to be closed starting at 9 a.m., staffed intersections to permit vehicle crossings, morning egress plans and volunteer recruitment.
Public-safety staff briefed the council on logistical plans for RAGBRAI, describing road closures, volunteer-staffed intersections to permit vehicle crossings, and morning egress routes for residents and businesses. Staff said the map and traffic plan were available on the city’s Facebook page and asked for volunteer support to staff intersections during the event.
Officials noted closures would begin at about 9:00 a.m., with reopening around 6:00 p.m. and that certain cross streets (Green, Division, Marion, Ringgold) would be staffed to allow vehicle movement. Volunteers will be trained to stop bicycles briefly to allow vehicles to cross and to help maintain safety. The council encouraged community members to volunteer so businesses and residents could access necessary routes during the event.
