The article highlighted many of the same problems that Estes Park currently faces, including on-street parking demands and downtown employees taking up parking spaces intended for business customers. STAFF UPDATES ON TOWN PROJECTS Director Muhonen updated members on the Loop project. Numerous public meetings and small group meetings have been held as part of the NEPA study. The Loop Project TAC will be providing a summary of these meeting results at the March 18th Town Board Study Session. Another meeting will be held on March 25th to deliver the same information to the public and provide an opportunity for public input. Kevin Ash gave an update on the Dry Gulch project. Town staff continues to meet with the consultants and are pushing to move forward with design ideas to bring forward for public comment, with the goal to accomplish some construction work during the summer of 2015. Basic design ideas exist, but the Town is looking for a greater level of detail, construction expenses estimates, etc. The project will greatly improve the intersection of Dry Gulch and Hwy 34. RECOMMENDATION TO TRUSTEES REGARDING TRANSIT HUB PARKING STRUCTURE Director Muhonen said the FTA would conditionally support moving the parking structure to the South Side. The Town Board would have to allocate additional funds to move forward with exploration of the South Side. Trustee Ericson indicated since no specific proposal has been presented to the Trustees yet on this topic, the Trustees would like to see what the additional cost would be to pursue the South Side site. After the board formulated a recommendation to the Trustees during the February meeting, Chair Campbell prepared a draft memo to present to the Trustees. Since the Town Board agenda item had been postponed and new information regarding the project has surfaced, the board continued discussion and made minor revisions and fine tuning to the recommendation memo Ann Finley suggested revisiting the vote and modifying the wording of TAB's support of the South Side. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Transportation Advisory Committee — March 18th, 2015 — Page 3 A motion was made for recommendation of the South Side two-story option, contingent upon final federal approval (Black/Morris), and the motion passed with a vote of eight (8) to one (1). DOWNTOWN PARKING STRATEGY Chair Campbell reviewed the 2015 Town Board objectives with the board, focusing specifically on transportation goals and needs. It was expressed that a guiding strategy would be needed in advance of implementing paid parking. Chair Campbell provided a summary of TVC parking recommendations for cross reference, as well as a section of the 2013 parking study "Recommended Transit and Parking Enhancements." The board reviewed the TVC Parking Recommendations summary and identified which bullet points they were in agreement with in order to create goals for creation of the parking plan. The board was in favor of balanced shuttle and pedestrian use of the downtown area, elimination of much current on-street downtown parking and an enhanced pedestrian environment in the downtown district. The downtown parking strategies from the study were also reviewed and discussed. Chair Campbell will group and shape the topics to summarize the results of the discussion. With no other business to discuss, Chair Campbell adjourned the meeting at 1:58 p.m. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado, March 31st, 2015 Minutes of a Special meeting of the Transportation Advisory Board of the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado.

The Town Board has scheduled a special meeting on April 15th at 6:00 pm to hear public comment. The meeting will be held at the Event Center. Alternative 1 has been found by the NEPA study to be the most viable option for the project. An anonymous vote was taken among TAB members to determine where the board stands on the issue for discussion purposes. One vote was for "no action", the rest were in favor of the Alternative 1 of the Loop project. Director Muhonen addressed questions regarding whether or not sidewalks were included along the length of the couplet route. A sidewalk will run parallel to the road along the entire route. Loading zones were discussed for trucks in the downtown section. Bike lanes are included throughout the route, with shared lanes on westbound Elkhorn. Pedestrian crossings were discussed at length.
