Seattle Special Event Notice – Seattle Hempfest 2018
ReplyDeleteAugust 17, 18, 19, 2018, at Myrtle Edwards and Centennial Parks.
BICYCLE RIDERS and PEDESTRIANS:
During Set-up and Tear-Down on Mon-Thurs (August 13-16), and Mon-Wed (August 20-22) during the times from 7:30 AM -8:30 AM the parks will be vehicle free on both the east & west paths of Myrtle Edwards and Centennial parks.
Hempfest vehicle traffic is suspended for that hour during weekday set-up and tear-down to respect morning bike commuters who use the parks.
During other working days/hours of set-up and tear-down (8:30 – 6:00pm) bicycles and pedestrians are required to utilize the west (water side) path. There may be very temporary deviations, please follow the guidance and instructions of traffic crew wearing orange safety vests.
The reason for the west path use is because there will be intermittent vehicle use and large truck deliveries using the east (railroad side) path during set-up and tear-down days, throughout the day. This is for your safety.
Bicyclists routinely go at such high speeds through the parks that vehicle drivers cannot adequately see bikes in time, especially on the curves throughout the parks. The west path should be vehicle free (with very brief exceptions, controlled by vested traffic monitors) all day during set-up and tear-down days/hours.
For public safety, BICYCLE RIDERS MUST DISMOUNT during Seattle Hempfest. ALL DAYS, ALL HOURS.
If attending HEMPFEST bicycles should enter through the North entrance in Centennial Park to utilize the bike racks, or use the bike racks at Bay and Elliot. Attaching bikes to the fence at Olympic Sculpture Park is not allowed.
In addition, because of Expedia construction, please be advised that the pedestrian / bike path along the canal on 16th Ave West will be closed during and after Seattle Hempfest. Other routes should be used.
This will be the 24th year at this location. We apologize for the temporary disruption. hempfest@hempfest.org (206) 364-4367
