and
WHEREAS, as a result of past confusion, the City wishes to clarify that any traffic control plan is the
responsibility of the applicant; and

C. The location of any streets or intersections where the applicant proposes to
restrict access by pedestrians or vehicles and a traffic control plan. In its sole
discretion, the City may require the traffic control plan be prepared by a
professional traffic engineer, such as when the street closure includes an
intersection or otherwise has more than a de minimis impact on the street
system. The traffic control plan must address likely traffic impacts resulting from
the proposed special event and demonstrate compliance with the requirements
of the Americans with Disabilities Act. City approval is necessary prior to the City
issuing a special event permit.
