Page 1 of 4
STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
DATE: February 7, 2017
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:
Christopher L. Foss, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Establishing Designated Parade Routes and Approving St. Patrick’s Day
Parade and Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk Road Closures
Prepared by: William Lai, Assistant Civil Engineer
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider establishing parade routes for the following annual
events: St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk, and th e Dublin High
School Homecoming Parade. The City Council will also consider approving road
closures for the 2017 St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Establishing Designated Parade Routes for the St. Patrick’s Day
Parade, Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk, and Dublin High School Homecoming
Parade; and adopt the Resolution Authorizing Temporary Street Closures for the 2017
St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact to establish designated parade routes. The St. Patrick’s
Day Parade and Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk road closures will be funded by the
St. Patrick’s Day Festival Budget.
DESCRIPTION:
Dublin Municipal Code Section 5.12.070 provides that the City Council shall establish,
by resolution, designated parade routes upon recommendation of the City Manager. As
the routes for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk, and
Dublin High School Homecoming Parade have historically remained the same, the City
Manager is recommending that these routes be formally designated as parade routes.
Organizers, participants, residents, and business owners are familiar with these routes
and associated road closures and are able to better plan for any issues that arise as
part of the parade. These parade routes have been reviewed by Dublin Police Services,
Parks and Community Services, Public Works, and the Fire Chief.

Designated Parade Routes
St. Patrick’s Day Parade
The parade route starts on Amador Plaza Road, heads east on Dublin Boulevard, north
on Village Parkway, then west on Amador Valley Boulevard to Donohue Drive.
Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk
The route starts on westbound Dublin Boulevard at the bridge over the Alam o Canal,
continues west on Dublin Boulevard, north on Village Parkway, east on Amador Valley
Boulevard, south on York Drive, continuing onto Penn Drive, east again onto Amador
Valley Boulevard, south at the Alamo Creek Trail continuing onto the Alamo Cana l Trail
and ends near Dublin City Hall.
Dublin High School Homecoming Parade
The parade route starts on Village Parkway just north of Amador Valley Boulevard and
ends just south of Davona Drive.
Attachment 1 is a resolution establishing designated parade routes for the St. Patrick’s
Day Parade, Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk, and the Dublin High School
Homecoming Parade. Maps of the routes are included as Exhibit A to Attachment 1.
2017 St. Patrick’s Day Celebration Road Closures
The Dublin St. Patrick’s Day Celebration will be held March 18-19, 2017, and will again
include the Dublin Lions Club St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Shamrock 5K Fun Run and
Walk. The proposed routes for the Parade and Fun Run and Walk are the same as the
last four years and are described in further detail below.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to temporarily close the
streets for both of these St. Patrick’s Day events. California Vehicle Code, Section
21101(e), provides that local authorities may, by ordinance or resolution, temporarily
close a portion of any street under their jurisdiction for “celebrations, parades, local
special events, and other purposes” as long as the authorities determine that the closing
is “necessary for the safety and protectio n of persons who are to use that portion of the
street during the temporary closing.”
St. Patrick’s Day Parade
The St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be held on Saturday, March 18, beginning at 9:30
A.M. The parade entrants will line up on Amador Plaza Road between Dublin
Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard. With some new businesses on Amador Plaza
Road, Staff will be sure to take extra steps to work with the new businesses to ensure
the impacts are understood and minimized where possible.
The parade route starts on Dublin Boulevard at Amador Plaza Road. Parade
participants will head east on Dublin Boulevard, north on Village Parkway, then west on
Page 3 of 4
Amador Valley Boulevard to Donohue Drive where the parade route ends. The
participants will disperse into the parking lot by the Dublin Senior Center.
The road and lane closures for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade are as follows:
Amador Plaza Road full closure, Dublin Boulevard to Amador Valley Boulevard,
7:00 A.M. to approximately 11:00 A.M.
Westbound lanes on Dublin Boulevard, Amador Plaza Road to Village Parkway,
9:00 A.M. to approximately 11:30 A.M.
Southbound lanes on Village Parkway, Dublin Boulevard to Amador Valley
Boulevard, 9:00 A.M. to approximately 11:30 A.M.
Eastbound lanes on Amador Valley Boulevard, Village Parkway to Starward
Drive, 9:00 A.M. to approximately 11:30 A.M..
During the parade, traffic heading westbound on Dublin Boulevard will detour north on
Village Parkway, west on Amador Valley, then south on Regional Street to Dublin
Boulevard. Traffic heading southbound on Village Parkway will detour either east or
west at Amador Valley Boulevard. Traffic heading eastbound on Amador Valley
Boulevard will detour south on Regional Street, then east on Dublin Boulevard. Traffic
heading south on Donohue Drive will detour west on Amador Valley Boulevard. Traffic
heading north on Amador Plaza Road, south of Dublin Boulevard, will detour either east
or west on Dublin Boulevard.
2017 Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk
The Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk will be held on Sunday, March 19, beginning at
8:30 A.M. Runners will line up for the start on westbound Dublin Boulevard near the
bridge over the Alamo Canal. They will head west on Dublin Boulevard, then north on
Village Parkway, east on Amador Valley Boulevard, south on York Drive then around
the bend and north on Penn Drive. When the runners meet up with Amador Valley
Boulevard they will head east again, past the Iron Horse Trail to the Alamo Creek Trail
entrance on the south side of Amador Valley Boulevard. The runners will take that trail
to the Alamo Canal Trail then south to the finish line behind the Dublin Library.
The road closures for the Fun Run will be in effect from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. and are
as follows:
Westbound Dublin Boulevard from Sierra Court to Village Parkway
Northbound Village Parkway from Dublin Boulevard to Amador Valley Boulevard
Eastbound Amador Valley Boulevard from Village Parkway to York Drive
Southbound side of York Drive and northbound side of Penn Drive
Eastbound Amador Valley Boulevard from Penn Drive to Wildwood Road.
No parking zones will be posted 72 hours in advance along northbound Village
Parkway, eastbound Amador Valley Boulevard, southbound York Drive and northbound
Penn Drive. The portion of the course that is on the trails is not included in the road
closure resolution, as it is approved under a permit from the East Bay Regional Parks
District.
During the Fun Run, westbound Dublin Boulevard traffic will detour north on Sierra
Court, then east on Sierra Lane, north on Dougherty Road, west on Amador Valley
Boulevard and then south on Village Parkway to Dublin Boulevard. Northbound Village

Parkway traffic will be detoured west on Dublin Boulevard, north on Amador Plaza Road
and then east on Amador Valley Boulevard to Village Parkway. Eastbound Amador
Valley Boulevard traffic will detour south on Village Parkway, then east on Dublin
Boulevard, and north on Dougherty Road to Amador Valley Boulevard. Traffic in the
neighborhoods accessible to York Drive and Penn Drive will have limited ingress and
egress, but residents and visitors will be able to drive on the opposite side of the road
from the Fun Run course. This will be monitored by volunteers as has been done in the
past in the residential areas of the Fun Run. Dublin Police will also patrol the Fun Run
course.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
Following City Council’s adoption of the Resolution authorizing temporary street
closures for the 2017 St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Shamroc k 5K Fun Run and Walk,
Staff will prepare a direct mailing to all residents and businesses affected by the road
closures.
