REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Melissa Veliz, Special Events Coordinator
Date: May 25, 2022
Subject: Road Closures for 2022 Lake Elsinore Car Shows
Recommendation
Approve temporary road closures on Main Street and Graham Avenue as identified in the Car
Show Traffic Plan on June 25, July 23, and August 27 starting at 4:00 pm.
Background
In 2016, the City launched its Lake Elsinore Car Cruises on the last Saturday of the month in
June, July, and August in Downtown Lake Elsinore. The goal of the event was to attract people
to shop and dine in our historic downtown. Each Car Cruise consisted of well over 100 classic
car participants and hundreds of spectators from throughout the region. The closure received no
negative impact and was a success in keeping participants and spectators safe.
Discussion
The Community Services Department is excited to bring back the popular car show series in
partnership with the Downtown Merchants Association. The Lake Elsinore Police Department,
Public Works Department, and Community Services Department will coordinate resources to
ensure the Car Shows continue as safe and fun for all visitors. To ensure the utmost safety of
the participants, staff is recommending the street closures identified in Exhibit A that will be
enforced with a combination of City staff and Law Enforcement.
Fiscal Impact
Costs for staffing the road closures are estimated to be appr oximately $1,500 per event for a
total cost of $4,500 for all three car cruises which is included in the FY21-22 Community
Services Operating budget.
