Non-motorized transportation will not be tolerated in a significant portion of Chaska surrounding Hazeltine National Golf Club during the Ryder Cup starting Tuesday.

That’s right: No walking, no cycling.

The extraordinary measures — even one residential neighborhood is a “no-pedestrian zone” — are the result of a security plan for the U.S.-vs.-Europe golf event, which organizers and police believe could be an inviting target for terrorists.

“This is one of the three biggest sporting events in the world, and it’s my duty to make sure everyone there and everyone in the community is safe,” Chaska Police Chief Scott Knight said. “It’s the Olympics, soccer World Cup and the Ryder Cup. They’re almost equal in terms of how many people they reach around the world.”

The actual 12-on-12 competition runs from Friday through Sunday, but the 250,000 ticket-holding spectators will begin showing up Tuesday to watch a 9-hole celebrity match and practice rounds for the players.

Tuesday is when the security measures will start.

Cyclists and pedestrians aren’t being singled out in favor of cars. Taxis, Uber vehicles and regular cars of spectators are all banned as well. Only authorized vehicles — shuttle buses mainly — will be allowed inside an outer security perimeter that extends well outside the grounds of the golf course.

Those buses will all converge on Chaska High School, which lies inside that outer perimeter.

“No, you cannot walk to or take a bike to Chaska High School,” Knight said.

TAKE THE BUS

In other words, you cannot walk or bike to the Ryder Cup. With exception of specially credentialed personnel, here are the only ways to get there:

Drive (or walk or bike or taxi or whatever) to Canterbury Park. From there, take a shuttle to Chaska High School.

Ride public transportation via Metro Transit’s Ryder Cup plan.

The only exceptions are for local residents — to avoid the absurdly inconvenient. “For the Chaska area residents, a shuttle service option is being provided for them,” Knight said, emphasizing that such shuttles are not available to the general public.

The restrictions were codified three months ago when the Chaska City Council adopted them in an ordinance specifically addressing the Ryder Cup.

Previous events at Hazeltine, including the PGA Championship in 2009, have not featured such tight security.

“We had a plan for major events, and we built it out,” said Knight said, adding that he did not model the plan specifically on any other event.

Knight said a series of local meetings have been held to explain to local ticket holders that they will not be able to walk or bike to the event — as they had in past events.

WIDE PERIMETER

The outer security perimeter is generally bounded by the following streets:

U.S. Highway 212 on the south

Hundertmark Road on the west

Hazeltine Boulevard on the north

Audubon Road on the east

Anyone approaching those boundaries will be greeted by gates and armed security and police. “If they compromise the fence, they’re going to go to jail,” Knight said.

The area includes the residential Hazeltine Glen neighborhood. Residents there, and their guests, are free to come and go as they please — but only upon showing special credentials issued to them. And only in their cars.

“They’re not going to be locked in their houses, but if their routine was to take a run with their dog on Pioneer Trail, they’re not going to be able to do that,” Knight said. “The only thing Hazeltine Glen people cannot do is exit on foot. It’s a no-pedestrian zone. If they need to go for a long jog or bike ride, they’re going to have to drive somewhere.”

Knight said the strictness makes it easy for law enforcement to determine whether to stop someone: Everyone on foot gets stopped.

He said residents have been understanding.

“Turn on your television today. Look at what’s happening in America and around the world. People understand that we’ve got to take security seriously. It’s only a few days.”
