Los Angeles is the proud host of the 2017 World Police and Fire Games. The games will be held from August 7th, 2017, to August 16th, 2017, at several locations throughout Los Angeles County. Over 8,000 athletes, representing more than 65 countries, will be competing in 65 Olympic-style sporting events.
On August 8th and 9th, the Acton, Agua Dulce, and Santa Clarita areas will host two cycling – road race events.
In order to ensure the safety of the participants, there will be several road closures which will result in substantial delays throughout the area.

On Tuesday, August 8, 2017, from 8:45 am to 12:00 pm, a cycling time trial event will take place beginning and ending at Acton Park. The route will close Syracuse Avenue at Acton Park, Crown Valley Road south to Soledad Canyon Road, and Soledad Canyon Road west to Agua Dulce Canyon Road.

Really? The city of Los Angeles has taken control of the roads and streets of the Santa Clarita Valley? I can see that our City Council would wilt under this pressure, but most of these routes involve County roads. Has the LA County Bored of Stupervisors weighed in on this and strong-armed the rest of the politicos into this?
And what about the storm damage to streets and property in Acton and Agua Dulce after the Flash Flood today? That dang Metro Link is broken due to the flooding, so how are folks supposed to get around when the roads are closed as well?
