Conservation director Katie Hammond told the board the Muscatine Triathlon at Deep Lakes Park will require setup closures on Friday and limited access on Saturday while organizers establish transition areas and parking.

Hammond added that 41st Street will be closed at about 6:30 a.m. for the 5K race segment and that uniformed officers will staff major intersections. Parking for the triathlon will be staged at CHS off 57th with shuttles to the park.
