Subject

2018 Langford Show and Shine – Goldstream Avenue lane closures

Background

Last year the Langford Show and Shine attracted 175 participants and had hundreds of residents, car lovers, and families attend to view and vote on classic muscle cars from the fifties, sixties and seventies. This year’s Langford Show and Shine will be taking place on Sunday, August 19, 2018. Lane closures along Goldstream Avenue, Bryn Maur Road and Claude Road will be required.

Commentary

This year is the 8th Annual Langford Show and Shine and will require the closure of lanes along Goldstream Avenue between Veterans Memorial Parkway and Peatt Road as well as partial closure of Bryn Maur Road and will impact Claude Road (see attached map). The event is set to take place between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., however, the lane closures will be required from 7:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. to allow for the participants to park their vehicles and for volunteers to set up and take down the tents, tables, and chairs. Emergency services, BC Transit, and local radio stations will be notified in advance of the closures by way of a traffic advisory. City staff will post a notice of the event and lane closures on the City’s website. Advertising of the lane closures will also be posted prior to the event along Goldstream Avenue by way of signage and digital reader board signs.

Financial Implications

Any minor costs incurred could be paid out of the Show and Shine budget. Similar to last year the barricades, cones and garbage cans will be donated by Victoria Contracting and Municipal Maintenance Corporation and portable washrooms from Coast Environmental.

Legal Implications

With the adoption of the Traffic Bylaw on December 3, 1996, Council has jurisdiction over this matter.

Options

That Council:

1. Approve the lane closures (as shown on the attached map) on Goldstream Avenue on Sunday August 19th, 2018, between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. for the 8th Annual Langford Show and Shine.
