DESCRIPTION At the December 9 , 1991 meeting of the Dublin
City Council, the City Council considered two potential routes for the
annual St. Patrick's Day Parade sponsored by the Dublin-San Ramon
Lions Club. As there was not unanimous support for either of the
routes presented, Staff was directed to investigate additional routes
for further consideration. Specifically Staff was directed to explore
routes utilizing Village Parkway north of Amador Valley Boulevard.
Consequently a meeting was conducted and representatives from the
City's Police, Public Works and Recreation Departments, as well as
from the Dublin-San Ramon Lions Club were in attendance. The
following two routes were considered:
Route A
The Dublin High School parking lot would be utilized as the staging
area for the parade and the parade would proceed south on Village
Parkway, west on Dublin Boulevard and north on Amador Plaza Road where
the parade would disband.
There are a number of concerns from both the Police and Public Works
Departments and the Dublin-San Ramon Lions Club with the
aforementioned route. They are as follows :
1. DHS parking lot is too small to accommodate the number of
entries in the parade
2 . Two main east-west arterials in town would be shut down as a
result of the route (Amador Valley Boulevard - both sides
and Dublin Boulevard - north side)
one alternative! to this route would be to proceed west on Amador
Valley Boulevard instead of Dublin Boulevard disbanding at Amador
Plaza Road. In addition to presenting similar problems as stated
above, this alternative was deemed to be too short.
Route B
Amador Plaza Road would be utilized as the staging area for the parade
and the parade would proceed east on Amador Valley Boulevard, south on
Village Parkway, west on Dublin Boulevard, north on Golden Gate where
the parade would disband.
This route was favored by those in attendance at the meeting as it
allows for an adequate staging area and smooth traffic flow. In
addition, Regional Street would remain open leaving access to the
adjacent shopping areas.
Attached is a map which illustrates the parade routes considered at
the December 9 , 1991 meeting as well as the two additional routes.
It is the recommendation of Staff that the City Council approve Parade
Route B and authorize the issuance of a parade permit to the
Dublin-San Ramon Lions Club.
