Re:Proposed Tourist
Information Center,
Attn:Mt.Dale Hill State Highway Letter 5 Jan 73
Gentlemen:
In reference to the problems related to traffic on U.S.36 and egress from the
parking area south of the Big Thompson Rivet as noted by Mr.W.J.Capron of the
Colorado State Highway Department -we would like to stress that out study to
date has been schematic and is general in concept.We acknowledge that in this
stage of design,many specific items are not dealt with in depth.We believe
that there are many suitable solutions to the problem that will be brought to
light during the design development stage.
We would like to point out that any good side for the Information Center will
be in a high traffic concentration area and will therefore experience some
ingress or egress problems.
In light of the Master Plan Study for the Town of Estes Park we would like to
point out that the intersection of U.S.34 &36 is a traffic congestion problem.
It is possible that a master planning solution to this problem might have a
beating on the use of the “Tallant Addition”.
In summary,we still believe that the “Tallant Addition”site is the best site
to date for the Tourist Information Center function,but we recommend that the
decision be put aside until the Master Plan Study has been completed.
Very truly yours,
