Subject:
Resolution No. 5771 Authorizing the execution of a license to use Salt River Project property, located at the Consolidated Canal between Germann Road and Chandler Heights Road, to conduct the annual City of Chandler Family Bike Ride.
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5771 authorizing the execution of a license to use Salt River Project property, located at the Consolidated Canal between Germann Road and Chandler Heights Road, to conduct the annual City of Chandler Family Bike Ride.
Background:
The City of Chandler Family Bike Ride along the Paseo Trail began in 2009 and provides families a great opportunity to exercise and celebrate bicycling for recreation and as a way to replace automobile trips to work, school and other locations. This year's community event will be held Saturday, April 6, 2024, with an anticipated 300-350 residents in attendance. For this year’s event, the participants will gather at the Chandler Park and Ride for a leisurely 7.4-mile ride south to Crossbow Park and back.
The City of Chandler continues to offer a virtual ride option, allowing participants to choose which event works best for them. Virtual participants are encouraged to safely ride with families and friends around their local parks, trails, and neighborhoods during the week of April 7-14, 2024. To develop a sense of community, participants are encouraged to share their experience with posts, pictures, and videos through their personal social media accounts and on the City of Chandler’s Facebook event page.
To facilitate the in-person event, Salt River Project (SRP) requires the City to enter into a license agreement for use of the canal property. The 7.4-mile ride will start at the City’s Park and Ride facility at 2100 S. Hamilton Street (adjacent to Tumbleweed Park), travel south to Crossbow Park at 4520 S. Crossbow Place (south of Ocotillo Road and west of McQueen Road), and return to the Park and Ride facility. The Chandler Fire and Police departments, as well as many volunteers, will participate to ensure the event is fun and safe.
