    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (January 24, 2017) – The Sedona Marathon, Half-Marathon, 10K and 5K event will be held on Feb. 4 beginning at 9 a.m. The course travels on Dry Creek Road from Sedona onto Boynton Canyon Road (FS 152C) and then onto Boynton Pass Road (FS 152C) and returns the same route. Throughout most of the morning hours and into the late afternoon there will be signs indicating that runners are on the roadway; the speed limit is 15 mph; and to be prepared to stop. In the morning, if heavy vehicular traffic is deemed unsafe for the large amount of runners along Boynton Canyon Road, a temporary road closure with a pilot vehicle will be used to provide a safer environment for event participants. Boynton Canyon Road will quickly re-open and provide complete traffic access.

    The city of Sedona will be closing Dry Creek Road from State Route 89A to just south of Thunder Mountain Road from 8:45 a.m. until approximately 10:30 a.m., as part of the event. Dry Creek Road will re-open and provide complete traffic access after this short closure. This temporary road closure will impact street access to White Bear Road, Kachina Drive (5K Race Route), and Remuda Road. Access to State Route 89A via Thunder Mountain Road may also experience short delays depending on runner traffic along Dry Creek Road. A signed detour route has been planned via Andante Drive to Thunder Mountain Road.

    Other temporary road closures include Navoti Drive at Bristlecone Pines Road, both connections of Rimstone Circle on Navoti Drive, Calle Del Sol at SR 89A , and a west bound lane on SR 89A. Please observe all traffic control devices and signage during the event.

    Area residents are encouraged to plan traffic-related activities prior to or after the scheduled road closure and delays. Sedona Police Officers and Sedona Fire District personnel will be available in your area in case of any emergency needs or service requests.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
