MALL ROAD/LAKE ESTES TRAIL PROJECT - APPROVAL
Director Linnane reported that bids for the Mall Road/Lake Estes Trail
construction were received from Kitchen ($383,983.02) and G.L. Hoff
($545,798.04). Larimer County would not allow a trail within the R.O.W. due
to physical limitations and stated the substandard design of the existing
roadway would present a safety issue to trail users. Therefore, the roadway
will be realigned to accommodate the trail and satisfy Larimer County
concerns. Since the area is highly visible and a "Gateway" area to Estes
Park, the Light and Power Department budgeted to underground the power
lines along Mall Road and across Hwy. 36. Construction is scheduled to
begin in April and be completed by Memorial Day. The cost/budget analysis
is as follows:
