The route of the ride (attached) is updated, but the route of planned traffic detour (attached) is exactly
the same as 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025. The detour sends northbound cars on RT 5 to Ridge Rd and then
Abbott Road.

Erie County has previously approved this as a viable and safe option to use as a detour.

We are formally requesting an official approval letter of this traffic diversion plan from the City
of Lackawanna in order to be able to receive state permission to close the Skyway for the event. A letter
or an email reply will be sufficient.

Thank you very much for your consideration and please let me know if you need any additional
information.

Thank you!

KEVIN HEFFERNAN, Interim Executive Director | GObike
