                                   Characteristics
                                   1.  Predictable starting and ending times
                                   2.  Known venue capacity
                                   3.  Anticipated demand typically known

                                   4.  Advance ticket sales

                                   Effect on Community
                                   1.  Need to give special attention to weekday events due to their potential impacts on commuter
                                       traffic, transit operations, businesses and residents.
                                   2.  Need to minimize impacts on access to businesses and residents due to concentrated
                                       arrival and departure demands.
                                   3.  Need to identify ways to minimize community impacts and improve transportation system
                                       operations during future venue events.

                                   4.  Need to consider parking restrictions or issuance of residence parking stickers so that
                                       event patrons do not impact residences by parking on residential streets in the vicinity of
                                       the venue.

                                   2.  Patrons arrive and depart during the event day
                                   3.  Less reliance on advance ticket sales

                                   4.  Capacity of venue not always known
                                   5.  Occurrence sometimes at temporary venues
                                   6.  Parking availability varies
                                   Effect on Community

                                   1.  Need to assure that the significant level of personnel required over the multiple days of
                                       operation can be provided to minimize impacts to the community.
                                   2.  Need to apply changes made in the traffic management plan to minimize community
                                       impacts for future continuous events.
