Dear Palm Desert City Council:
I am writing this letter to request permission to stage the 9th annual "Turkey
Trot on El Paseo"
We have increased the popularity of this race on Thanksgiving day to the extent
where we now need not only the south side of El Paseo but the north side as
well for safety reasons that we have outlined in our traffic plan which has
been accepted by all parties involved.
The complete closure of El Paseo and Ocotillo Street would occur from the
Hours of 7:00a/m to 9:30 a/m on Nov.22.2007.
We also would like to "incorporate " the City of Palm Desert in all of our
marketing material , media coverage and provide all 700 runners with a nice
logo on their t-shirt from the "City of Palm Desert" in exchange for 2
motorcycle officers to monitor and "help" in traffic control.
I will note to the City Council that in the previous 8 years we have never had a
problem with traffic, clean-up or any facet of the race .
