REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From:Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by:Johnathan Oliver Skinner, Director Of Community Services
Date:August 22, 2023
Subject:2023 Car Show Road Closures
Recommendation
Approve temporary road closures on Main Street and Graham Avenue as identified in the Car
Show Traffic Plan for September 1, 2023.
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 Downtown Merchants
Association (DMA) were large supporters of the event and will be participating this year as
well. 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 a safe and fun for all visitors. In order to ensure the utmost
safety of the participants, staff is recommending the street closures identified in Attachment 1 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 approximately $1,500.
