Sutphen Councilmem ber A. C. S t ri p FROM: Lt. R. Geis SUBJECT: 1990 Memorial Golf Tournament DATE: March 8, 1990 The 1990 Memorial Golf Tournament will test our skill and imagination relative to traffic pattern management. With the 0' Shaughnessy Dam Bridge construction project closin g Glick Road, changes in traffic patterns must take place to get the parking areas used to their maximum potential this year. The Memorial Tournament has two large parking areas to accommodate tournament parking. These areas are the "6th Tee Lot" at the southeast corner of SR 745 and Glick Road and the Ashbaugh Road Parking Area. The 6th Tee Lot can hold approximately 4000 cars while the Ashbaugh Lot can hold approximately 4000 cars. Additional parking is also allowed in the median of Muirfield Drive north of Tain Drive and on the south side of Carnoustie Drive. Historically, traffic patterns were identified in such a manner as to direct approximately 60% of the tournament traffic to the 6th Tee Parking Area and the other 40% to the Ashbaugh Road Parking Area. The O'Shaughnessy Dam Bridg~. afforded us the ability to funnel traffic directly to the 6th Tee Parking Area via SR 257 without impacting any other area. Exiting traffic from this lot was also routed across the dam significantly reducing the congestion in areas of Dublin west of the Scioto River. This route was used extensively for many years. Obviously this year, this route is not available. DUBLIN DIVISION OF POLICE Currently, we are faced with the problem of identifying alternate routes of travel into and out of the tournament parking areas. The goal of this plan is to minimize inconveniences to the motoring public as well as the residents of Dublin. Unfortunately, the City's infra-structure is such that some inconveniences are bound to occur. This years "Entering Traffic Plan" revolves around funneling traffic on three (3) primary routes. They are SR 745, Coffman Road and A very Road. The significant difference in this years plan occurs at the intersection of Coffman and Brand Road. Past years had this traffic being routed westbound on Brand Road to the Ashbaugh Parking Area. This year, the traffic will be routed eastbound on Brand Road to SR 745 then north on SR 745 to the 6th Tee Parking Area. This will hopefully maximize the use of the 6th Tee Parking Area. All other entering routes are identical to previous years. The "Exiting Traffic Plan II revolves around funneling traffic out of the tournament parking areas by using four (4 ) primary routes. They are SR 745, Coffman Road, A very Road and Hyland Croy Road. All these routes will be signed to get motorists back to the SR 161/US 33/1S 270 area. Additional traffic officers will be employed by the Tournament this year in an effort to make a bad situation tolerable. The Memorial Tournament will also be - broadcasting up-to-date traffic and weather reports on their own information radio station. The FCC license for this station is currently being processed. An informational packet is also being put together by the Tournament which will be sent out along with tickets identifying this year's traffic pattern. Additional news media coverage will be accessed as a means to communicate changes in traffic - . 0, ' DUBLIN DIVISION OF POLICE patterns for this years tournament. Plans are also being implemented to use Metro Center for parking on Saturday and Sunday. Spectators will then be bussed into the tournament. This plan worked very well last year during bad weather. I have also contacted O. C. L. C. and W. C. I. about instituting an early release for their employees on Thursday and Friday of Tournament week. It appears they are agreeable to this plan. This will help ease the congestion expected from exiting tournament traffic those days. Directional signs will play a big part in this years traffic management plan. The Memorial Tournament has had all their tournament directional signs redone. Several meetings have already been held with the sign committee to ensure adequate signage is available this year. In addition, local, county and state road departments have met to ensure adequate directional signs are in place prior to the start of this years tournament. I have attached, as part of this report, a color coded map which outlines our traffic patterns for vehicles entering the Muirfield Village area. The exiting traffic patterns are identical with the exception of an additional exiting route via Hyland Croy Road. Many meetings have taken place and will continue to take place up thru tournament week regarding the issue of traffic pattern management. We realize that the O'Shaughnessy Dam Bridge closing will significantly impact our traffic patterns this year. We feel that we have identified a plan that will work for us this year with a minimum amount of incon venience to the motoring public and the residents of Dublin. We have added additional officers and devised a deployment plan that gives us flexibility on a daily basis to change patterns if needed. Traffic congestion in Dublin on the west side of the Scioto River will be heavier than in any previous year. However, we feel confident that our plan will make an otherwise bad situation tolerable. 1189.03(1) A business flag, not exceeding one per parcel and dis- playing the corporate or business emblem or seal, may be displayed if flown on a vertical staff or pole and in conjunction with the national flag.
