Temporary Parking Restrictions Scheduled During Run the Valley

Preparations are underway for the annual Run the Valley fundraiser for the Golden Valley Human Services Fund- including setting up one-day parking restrictions during the event.

The 2013 5K/10K race and 5K walk is scheduled to take place April 13 starting and ending at Brookview Golf Course/Community center.

“Since the event is expected to draw a large crowd of people and parking lots in the Brookview Gold Course may be used for golfers and race staging, all attendees may need to park on local streets and in the lots at Brookview Park,” city staff wrote in a March 5 memo to the Golden Valley City Council.

Temporarily no parking zones were approved by the Golden Valley City Council at its March 5 meeting. Parking restrictions only on April 13, 2013 include, according to the memo:

• Western Avenue between Brookview Parkway and Winntetka – parking prohibited on the south side of the street.
• Gregory Road between Winnetka Avenue and Utah Avenue – parking prohibited on the south side of the street.
• Utah Avenue between Wayzata Boulevard and Ridgeway Road – parking prohibited on the west side of the street.
• Hanley Road between Wayzata Boulevard and Western Avenue – parking prohibited on the west side of the street.
• Field Drive between Wayzata Boulevard and Hanley Road – parking prohibited on the east/south side of the street.
• Western Terrace – parking prohibited on both sides of the entire street.
• Wayzata Boulevard between Winnetka Avenue South and Brookview Parkway – parking prohibited on the north side of the street.

No parking signs will be put out the day before the event and removed by the Monday after the event.

The 2013 Run the Valley is scheduled to start 8 a.m. Saturday, April 13 with the 10K. More information on the event can be found on the Golden Valley City website.
