This is a brief report on the Tour de Tech Terrace. It seems that the Delta Chi "Capture the Flag" event in Tech Terrace park caused parking frustrations for resident neighbors.
Austin Keith, Tour organizer, reported approximately 630-700 riders in the Tour. Captain Hudgens, LPD, estimated about 900-1000 event riders. Both concurred there were fewer house stops (7 stops on the tour route,) 1 arrest (public intoxication), 4 citations (public urination) and 1 ticket for an unleashed dog (pitbull puppy). The route map was provided to the police--the last stop changed at the last minute yesterday. One homeowner specifically requested police presence to deter congregating overflow in their yard (2710 21st) and was satisfied with the deterrent. Police officers helped curb traffic so riders could safely pass at major intersections. The majority of riders had dispersed as of 7:20pm.
Thanks to Austin for working with LPD and continuing to address the safety concerns associated with the event!
