TRAFFIC PROJECTS.
Pedestrian Signal from Municipal Parking Lot to Riverwalk.
Regarding the crosswalk from the municipal parking lot to the
Riverwalk and the number of complaints received regarding motorists
who do not yield to pedestrians, or an officer's signal,
(particularly those from out of state who are not familiar with
Colorado law to stop for crosswalks) the Committee recommends a
yellow flashing light and temporary sign be installed in the middle
of the crosswalk to assist the officer stationed at this location,
said recommendation to be used as a transition to 1992, at which
time it is anticipated the municipal parking lot will be
redesigned, as well as the crosswalk's entry.
CORRESPONDENCE.
The Committee reviewed various correspondence, including a letter
to Dave Essex/Rocky Mountain National Park stating that, due to
Police Department liability, the Town will be unable to accept
extra agency prisoners unless the arresting agency supplies a guard
to be with the prisoner(s) for the duration of their incarceration.
Chief Racine further stated that neither the Police Department nor
Sheriff's Department are holding prisoners at the Town facility, as
adequate manpower is not available for appropriate monitoring.
Chief Racine also submitted a copy of a letter written to
Lonigan's, stating it would be advisable for their personnel to be
more thorough in checking ID's, both for age and authenticity. He
also noted it is important that any physical altercation be
reported at the time it occurs; otherwise, the real ramifications
and/or extent of injuries may not be immediately determinable.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
