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

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.
