In this case, the application was reviewed by the Public Safety 29 Department and Director Swenson will report on their findings. 30 31 Public Safety Director Swenson reported on discussions with the event planners. There have been 32 three meetings. There are implications and some concern about the bike ride route due to a detour 33 of cars from Birch Street. At this time he feels there is an adequate plan in place for public safety 34 considerations. He noted that there will inevitably be complaints about this situation and traffic 35 related to the Birch Street detour. He reviewed the bike ride route (long and short). In providing 36 public safety personnel along the route, they will be focusing specially on uncontrolled intersections. 37 The staff that will be utilized are community service officers, on-duty officers and it probably one 38 overtime officer (the cost of the overtime officer would be billed to MS organization). Anoka 39 County has agreed to control the intersection of Hodgson and Ash. The plan is to do as little traffic 40 control as possible – hopefully staying away from controlled intersection unless needed. He noted 41
