Meeting held in the Room 203 of Town Hall on the 19th day of April, 2017. Present: Kimberly Campbell Tom Street Gordon Slack Stan Black Ann Finley Ken Zornes Amy Hamrick Also Present: Bob Holcomb, Town Board Liaison Greg Muhonen, Public Works Director Kevin Ash, Engineering Manager Megan Van Hoozer, Public Works Admin. Assistant Absent: Belle Morris Chair Campbell called the meeting to order at 12:04 p.m. It was moved and seconded (Slack/Street) to approve the March meeting minutes with corrections and the motion passed unanimously. SHUTTLE UPDATE, Sandy Osterman For 2017, full shuttle service will run from June 24 through September 10. There will also be fall shuttle service for special events. The Green Route, being introduced in 2017, will provide pick-up from the Park-n-Ride at the Events Center and will drop off at Bond Park. The operating shift for this route will be from noon to 5pm. All other routes will operate from 9am to 8:59pm. PROJECT UPDATES, Kevin Ash, Engineering Manager Digital Message Signs (DMS): Adaptive Micro Systems, LLC has been selected as the vendor to furnish the signs for this project. The selected signs have parking management system capabilities. Both the signs and the associated software lend themselves to future expansion. Installation is anticipated to be complete by the end of June. The Town's next RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Transportation Advisory Board — April 19, 2017 — Page 2 step is to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to select a vendor for the pole/mounting bracket installation. The placement of the signs has been reviewed with the Town Board and the project will be kept within the designated budget. Moraine Bridge Replacement: The Town and Consultant are working through some hydraulic issues via the completed Hydrology Study. Work is taking place with FEMA regarding floodplain permits. Based on recent conversations, it appears this will be a lengthy and difficult process. Per the established criteria, once water goes through a structure the work performed cannot cause any rise in the water level. Manager Ash and Consultant Todd are revisiting the plans and remapping to fall within this criteria. If the plans/mapping cannot show that the new flows will maintain consistency with the current level then it puts the project, along with all funding, in jeopardy. 2017 Street Improvement Program: MacGregor Avenue Improvements: Mountain Constructors has been selected as the contractor to perform the MacGregor Avenue Improvements. The bids came in more than $250K over budget. The increased costs were associated with the strict deadlines imposed and factored in overtime to complete on schedule. The Engineering Division will be looking for funding and will present for approval at Town Board. Fall River Trail: The Town has submitted an application for a $2M GOCO grant. The State of Colorado will determine, based on the application, whether to grant the entire amount or a lesser amount. The Town, utilizing Larimer County Open Space funds, along with the Estes Valley Recreation and Parks District, will match funds bringing the total funding to $2.7M. PROJECT UPDATES, Greg Muhonen, Director of Public Works Traffic Control Devices Study Update - Clarification: Director Muhonen provided clarification on the 2016 CDOT Income Estimate table contained within the draft Traffic Control Devices Study. The rates are comparative to the location. Director Muhonen will present this study to the Town Board at the May 9, 2017 meeting. The contracts for the maintenance of CDOT signals, signs and markings are for a one year term only. These term limits allow flexibility in the event the contractual obligations are deemed a poor fit for the Town. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Transportation Advisory Board — April 19, 2017 — Page 3 Downtown Parking Strategy Plan: A Downtown Parking Management Plan Task Force has been assembled. This task force will gather community feedback at various events and through multiple outreach meetings and surveys. The TAB will lead the community outreach efforts. Chair Campbell and Member Finley will begin the outreach at the Taste of Estes event. There are plans to have a booth stationed at the Farmer's Market every week. Chair Campbell asked that each member of the TAB sign up for two different outreach times. Kimley Horn, parking consultant, will have a meeting on April 26 to instruct members on how best to perform community outreach and educate the public. The benefits regarding paid parking are to change behavior; generate funding for an earlier shuttle service; reduce congestion and alleviate unnecessary carbon footprints. Member Slack stated that he would prefer not to present preliminary ideas to the Rotaries. Slack suggested that rather than presenting the plan, the Rotaries be directed to the online survey for feedback. Chair Campbell will present the Rotaries with the location of the survey and an explanation of the plan. Transit Facility Parking Structure: Director Muhonen stated that the last girders are being placed next week which is the last of the precast concrete. OTHER BUSINESS With no other business to discuss, Chair Campbell adjourned the meeting at 2:00 p.m. ESTES PARK DOWNTOWN PLAN PARKING MANAGEMENT COMMUNITY OUTREACH Farmer's Market Events Thursdays — 8 am to 1 pm Shift 1: 7:45 am— 10:30 am Shift 2: 10:15 am—1:00 pm June 1 TAB: TAB: DPSC: DPSC: June 8 TAB: TAB: DPSC: DPSC: June 15 TAB: TAB: DPSC: DPSC: June 22 TAB: TAB: DPSC: DPSC: June 29 TAB: TAB: DPSC: DPSC: July 6 TAB: TAB: DPSC: DPSC: July 13 TAB: TAB: DPSC: DPSC: July 20 TAB: TAB: DPSC: DPSC: July 27 TAB: TAB: DPSC: DPSC:
