Director Anderson reported that the State Highway Department and URA
Commissioners have approved the proposed DSW design of the Highway
34/36 intersection. Rich Widmer, Director/Public Works, has
recommended the left turn lane (from the bypass onto Hwy. 34 East)
be lengthened to allow more stacking capability.
According to District Engineer Al Chotvacs, the State Review Board
has approved the use of $80,000 for culvert and paving work on this
intersection. Commissioner Frantz commended Director Anderson s
efforts in negotiating with the Colorado Department of Highways for
assistance in funding this project. It should also be noted that
Bill VanHorn will be reconstructing one of the islands.
Commissioner Hill stated that each year, the Town requests funds
from the State Highway Department for certain projects. The URA
may, if it so desires, submit its fund request(s) to be included
with the Town's annual requests to the State Highway Department.
Director Anderson referred to his memo to the Board dated August 19,
1986 re: drainage study of East Elkhorn Avenue and Black (3anyon
Creek crossing at Elkhorn, along with DSW's scope of services for
this work. Staff believes this study should be performed to
determine if corrective drainage measures need to be constructed
before beginning Streetscape 3.

Studios West's contract for a drainage study at
of $3,500.00. Those voting Yes — Commissioners Pohl, Frantz, ,
