RE: Resolution 92-22 Supplemental Budget Appropriations #6 to the 2022
Budget
(Mark all that apply)
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE LAND USE
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT RESOLUTION OTHER______________
QUASI-JUDICIAL YES NO
Objective:
Amend the 2022 budget for items that have been identified after the last budget
amendment, including additional funding for the Fall River Trail Improvement project
and additional funding for the Downtown Estes Loop project.
Present Situation:
This amendment is to provide funding to award the construction contract for Fall River
Trail Improvements, Phase FRTR1B currently scheduled to be considered at the Nov
22, 2022 regularly scheduled Town Board meeting. This also includes additional match
funding for the Downtown Estes Loop project and the related agreement to be
considered at the Nov 17, 2022 special Town Board meeting.
The following explains the proposed changes by Fund. These items are also detailed in
the “Schedule of Budgeted Appropriation Changes” at the beginning of Exhibit B.
General Fund – Increase of $400,000
This is to provide $400,000 funding for the Downtown Estes Loop project out of General
Fund balance. This money is to be transferred to the Community Reinvestment Fund
where the capital outlay for general governmental projects is reported. If needed,
planned contributions to the capital reserve in 2023 can be reduced by this $400,000 if
the General Fund balance rolled over into 2023 is not sufficient to cover the planned
capital reserve contributions for 2023 of $1,000,000. This decision will be made after
final fund balances for the current year are more clearly understood.
Community Reinvestment Fund – Increase of $1,000,000
This is to provide $1,000,000 in additional funding for the Downtown Estes Loop project.
The agreement between the Town of Estes Park and the US Federal Highway
Administration needs to be completed ASAP and the appropriations to meet this
commitment should be in place prior to agreement execution. As a result, the Town is
appropriating $600,000 out of the existing Community Reinvestment Fund capital
reserves and $400,000 from a General Fund transfer to meet this additional funding
commitment.
Open Space Fund – Increase of $870,000
This appropriation provides $870,000 in additional funding for the Fall River Trail
Improvement project based upon the current construction bid scheduled for Town Board
consideration on Nov 22, 2022. Project costs have gone up significantly and it is
necessary to increase the project appropriations to cover the additional construction
costs prior to contract award. This funding will come from available Open Space fund
balances accumulated for projects such as this.
Proposal:
Staff is seeking approval of the budget resolution authorizing the proposed budget
amendments.
Advantages:
The Town will be able to award the construction contracts before the time limits expire
on the bids and also allows the Town to continue to operate in compliance with statutory
requirements regarding municipal budget law.
Disadvantages:
None identified.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends approval of the 2022 supplemental budget appropriation #6
resolution.
Finance/Resource Impact:
After reflecting this budget amendment, the General Fund reserves are projected at
41.2% of 2022 operating expenditures.
Level of Public Interest
Moderate – The Downtown Estes Loop has been a highly controversial project so there
may be some public interest in this budget amendment. However, as of the date of
drafting this agenda memo, no public comments have been received by the Finance
Department.
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of Resolution 92-22 appropriating additional sums of
money for the Town of Estes Park for the budget year ended December 31, 2022.
Attachments:
1. Resolution 92-22 Supplemental Budget Appropriations # 6 to the 2022 Budget.

RESOLUTION 92-22
SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS #6 TO THE 2022 BUDGET
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Town of Estes Park adopted the 2022
annual budget in accordance with the Local Government Budget Law on November 9th,
2021; and

additional funding needs which were identified after adoption of the original annual
budget; and
WHEREAS, it is not only required by law, but also necessary to appropriate the
revenues provided in the budget to and for the purposes described below, so as not to
impair the operations of the Town of Estes Park.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO:
That the appropriations for 2022 be increased by $2,270,000 for the funds
specified below and these amounts are hereby appropriated from additional revenue or

* The Grant contingency is intended to be used only to manage unanticipated delays in collection of grant funds. Transfers may be necessary to cover these deferrals in other funds so a contingency budget has been developed for that
purpose. It is not anticipated to be used so it is added back for budgetary fund balance reserve comparisons.
** The Medical Insurance Claims contingency is budgeted to cover unanticipated large medical claims at year end. Final claim expenses are not known until Feb or March of the following year, much too late to amend the budget,
resulting in the possibility of large claims paid out exceeding budgeted expenditures. This contingency has been developed to avoid appearance of a budgetary violation when year end liabilities dramatically exceed historical amounts.
Since this is not anticipated to be used, the reserve is added back for budgetary fund balance reserve comparisons.
*** These miscellaneous reserves include current year additions to the reserves budgeted as expenses plus amounts accumulated in prior years. The current year additions are added back to fund balance since these appropriations are
budget management accounts and are not intended to be spent in the current budgeted year.

PUBLIC WORKS Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Wendy Koenig
Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Greg Muhonen, PE, Public Works Director
Date: November 17, 2022
RE: Resolution 93-22 Approving the Third Modification to the Memorandum of
Agreement, the Sixth Modification to the Reimbursable Agreement, and a
Funds Transfer Agreement for Project Funding of the Downtown Estes
Loop.
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE LAND USE
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT RESOLUTION OTHER:
QUASI-JUDICIAL YES NO
Objective:
Public Works staff seek Town Board approval of Resolution 93-22, which amends the
existing Memorandum of Agreement (MoA), the existing Reimbursable Agreement (RA),
and approves a new Funds Transfer Agreement (FTA) with Central Federal Lands
Highway Division (CFLHD) for the design and construction of the Downtown Estes Loop
(DEL).
Present Situation:
In 2014 the Town, CFLHD, Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), and Rocky
Mountain National Park (RMNP) entered into agreements to conduct a comprehensive
environmental assessment (EA) and public process to determine feasibility and support
for the project. The partners agreed to fund, design, and construct roadway and bridge
improvements to Elkhorn Avenue, Moraine Avenue, and West Riverside Drive to
improve access to RMNP by reducing traffic congestion in downtown Estes Park. This
route is the primary travel corridor to RMNP. These improvements were to be funded by
a Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) grant and CDOT Responsible Acceleration of
Maintenance and Partnerships (“RAMP”) funds. Construction of the project was
expected to occur in 2016.
Community controversy and a lengthy process for acquiring additional rights of way for
the project delayed construction to 2018, then to 2021. New Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) modeling and mapping procedures for the revised
floodplains within the project (triggered by the 2013 flood) further delayed submittal of
FEMA floodplain permit applications, which has delayed construction to 2022/2023.
From 2019 thru 2022, CDOT acquired eight parcels for the demolition of multiple
commercial and residential buildings and secured 42 easements from 23 property
owners to provide sufficient area to construct the realignment of West Riverside Drive
and a new bridge over the Big Thompson River. Also in early 2020, the Town requested
revisions to the MoA and RA to clarify refinements to the project scope, costs, schedule,
and funding responsibility. These changes were approved by the Town Board in
Modification 1 to the MoA and Modification 4 to the RA.
On May 24, 2022, the project Technical Advisory Committee members shared updated
estimates on the project’s increased construction cost and extended construction
duration expected due to the recent, significant cost escalation of materials and fuel, as
well as supply chain challenges. Additional local match funding in the amount of
$500,000 was approved by the Town Board (Resolution 60-22) in July 2022 through
Modification 2 to the MoA and Modification 5 to the RA so the project could proceed to
solicitation of contractor bids.
On October 11, 2022, two higher-than-expected bids were opened. The low bid of
$27,087,298 exceeded the Engineers Cost Estimate of $15,724,641 by $11.3 million.
These results, and three options for future project direction, were discussed with the
Town Board at a study session on November 8, 2022. Staff was directed to return with
the three options for additional consideration at a special public meeting on November
17, where the community could provide input. The Board further requested the
November 17 meeting include an opportunity for public discussion on the merits of
asking Estes Park voters to decide the future project direction.
Proposal:
The project cannot progress to construction until sufficient funding is documented to pay
for the construction. In response to the higher-than-expected bids received, the partner
agencies offered three options for moving forward:
Option 1. All further work on the project could be terminated. The current bid
solicitation would be canceled and not awarded. The completed project
construction plans and specifications would be shelved and no further work
would be pursued.
Advantages:
• No additional project costs would be incurred by any of the partner agencies.
• The 18-24 months of construction disruption in the heart of downtown would
be postponed to future incremental projects that must address the existing
infrastructure repair and expansion needs when funding is available.
• Cancelling the project will end community uncertainty surrounding the DEL.
Disadvantages:
• Nine years of work and $10+ million invested in the project are discarded.
• The public purpose that justified the acquisition of easements and private land
parcels would be unfulfilled.
• The public transportation and flood infrastructure benefits previously
requested by the community in the 2013 FLAP grant application, as well as
during the EA process, would be eliminated or delayed.
• The full financial and administrative burden to repair and improve the
downtown infrastructure will be the sole responsibility of the Town and CDOT.
• Cancelling the project does not save any taxpayer money, as the FLAP
construction funds would be reallocated by CFLHD to other projects in other
communities. The federal government’s proposed investment of over $26
million in Estes Park downtown infrastructure will be lost
Option 2. The current project solicitation could be canceled, and the CFLHD
could readvertise the project in 6 to 12 months. This option would be necessary
in order to hold a public vote of Estes Park residents on the project construction.
Such a vote would cost approximately $35,000 and could take place no earlier
than March 2023. This option could also be exercised by the Board without
sending the project to a public vote.
Advantages:
• Potential stabilization of construction industry pricing might result in lower bid
prices for the work and improved predictability in material and labor
availability.
Disadvantages:
• Rebidding the project may result in higher bids received, or no bids received
due to 2023 bidder workloads being full.
• Uncertainty of future project delivery will delay planned utility
upgrades/relocations which will further delay commencement of project
construction.
• Delaying the project extends the community uncertainty surrounding the DEL.
Option 3. The contract could be awarded and construction would begin in early
2023. CFLHD offered to continue funding 82.79% of the project cost through the
FLAP program, contingent upon a 17.21% contribution from the local agency
partners. This would require an additional $1 million each in local match funds
from both the Town and CDOT to secure an additional $9.3 million in FLAP grant
funds. The FLAP contribution would increase to $34.71 million. This budget
includes an approximately $1 million construction contingency for any changed
conditions encountered during construction. An additional $1 million early
completion incentive is also offered from the FLAP funds with no local match
required. Updated funding agreements with CFLHD would be required from both
the Town and CDOT.
Advantages:
• This is the fastest path to implementation of new roadway and parking
surfaces; four new traffic signals; expanded sidewalks for public safety, trails,
and bike lanes; a new bridge across the Big Thompson River; a flood
overflow and stormwater collection system; a new roundabout intersection;
and a 16” domestic water distribution pipe for improved fire protection.
• Awarding the bid secures contractually-firm project costs, construction crew
availability, and a known construction schedule with the potential of an early
completion.
• Construction of the project leverages $1 million in additional local funds to
return an investment of $10.3 million in additional Federal and State funds
targeted on infrastructure improvements in downtown Estes Park.
• The complete project will bring improvement to the Town’s downtown traffic
congestion problems and related environmental impacts, improved downtown
mobility and safety for bicyclists and pedestrians, reduction in downtown flood
risk from the Big Thompson River, and closure to community uncertainty
surrounding the DEL.
• Completing the project utilizes federal grant funds to finish deferred road
surface repairs on both Town and CDOT roads within the project limits.
• During the project planning and design stages, many community members
strongly supported the infrastructure improvements, economic betterment,
and improved visitor experience expected from the project.
Disadvantages:
• During the project planning and design stages, many community members
strongly opposed potential changes in the community character caused by
construction of the DEL.
• The long construction duration of 18-24 months in the heart of downtown will
be disruptive to businesses and users of the impacted roadways.
• The requested $1 million in additional local match funding would remain
available to fund other needs within the community.
Action Recommended:
Staff and the partner agencies recommend Option 3 (the adoption of Modification 3 to
the MoA, Modification 6 to the RA, and a new Fund Transfer Agreement). These
modifications reflect an increased local funding match in the amount of $1 million from
both the Town of Estes Park and CDOT in order to secure an increase of $9.3 million in
funding from the FLAP program.
Finance/Resource Impact:
The Town has expended its original obligation to pay a local match of $4.2 million
(CDOT devolution funds) for the Phase 1 project. No invoice has been received or
payment issued for the additional $500k contribution from the Town agreed to in MoA
Modification 2. The Town has $600k available in the unappropriated 2022 Construction
Reserve in the Community Reinvestment Fund. An additional $400k could be provided
from the proposed $1 million 2023 Construction Reserve. A total of $10.1 million has
been obligated by CFLHD to-date for this project.

PROJECT MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
Modification 3 – November 9, 2022
Project / Facility Name: Moraine Avenue and Riverside Drive
Project Route: CO FLAP 34(1) & 36(1)
State: Colorado
County: Larimer County
Owner of Federal Lands to which the Project Provides Access: National Park Service
Entity with Title or Maintenance Responsibility for Facility: Town of Estes Park
Type of Work: The project is to include preliminary engineering, construction and construction
engineering for the reconstruction on Moraine Avenue and Riverside Drive in the Town of Estes Park.
The routes are currently two lane routes at varying widths.
The Schedule A- Downtown Estes Park Loop- Moraine Avenue and Riverside Drive project segment
would reconfigure the circulation system through Estes Park by realigning and reconstructing West and
East Riverside Drives into a continuous one-way (eastbound) roadway and reconfiguring Elkhorn
Avenue/Moraine Avenue to a one-way configuration (westbound) creating one-way couplets through
Estes Park that would be US Highway 36. The reconfiguration would also include upgrades to
Rockwell Street to accommodate additional traffic from the change of Elkhorn Avenue to one-way in
the westbound direction.
In addition, a segment of West Elkhorn Avenue (Option X) was identified as a need following the
project application process and programming of Schedule A- Downtown Estes Park Loop- Moraine
Avenue and Riverside Drive. The purpose of Option X is to improve the riding surface and to extend the
useful life of the pavement as part of the devolution of the U.S. 34 Business Route. This segment of the
project will be paid for by the over-match that is provided by the Town of Estes Park. After bids for the
construction of Option X are received, if funds are insufficient to cover a minimum match for Schedule
A with Option X (17.21% of overall project costs) or if the bids are higher than $1,800,000 for Option
X, then the Town will need to fund the additional amount needed to award Option X, if Option X is to
be implemented. This Agreement does not obligate (commit to) the expenditure of Federal funds, nor
does it commit the parties to complete the project. Rather, this Agreement sets forth the respective
responsibilities as the project proceeds through the project development process.

A. PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT
This Agreement documents the intent of the parties and sets forth the anticipated responsibilities of each
party in the development, construction, and future maintenance of the subject project. The purpose of the
Agreement is to identify and assign responsibilities for the environmental analysis, design, right-of-way,
utilities, acquisition and construction as appropriate for this programmed project, and to ensure
maintenance of the facility for public use if improvements are made. The parties understand that any
final decision as to design or construction will not be made until after the environmental analysis
required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is completed (this does not prevent the
parties from assigning proposed design criteria to be studied in the NEPA process.) Any decision to
proceed with the design and construction of the project will depend on the availability of appropriations
at the time of obligation and other factors such as issues raised during the NEPA process, a natural
disaster that changes the need for the project, a change in Congressional direction, or other relevant
factors.
The modified Memorandum of Agreement for the subject project is further modified by this
Modification 23 with additions and deletions displayed as red text and strikethrough text throughout.
If Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) funds are used for the development or construction of this
project, Town of Estes Park, Colorado and the Colorado Department of Transportation agrees to
provide a matching share equal to 17.21% or more of the total cost of the project, as detailed more fully
in Section J below.
B. AUTHORITY
This Agreement is entered into between the signatory parties pursuant to the provisions of 23 U.S.C.
204.
C. JURISDICTION AND MAINTENANCE COMMITMENT
Town of Estes Park, Colorado has jurisdictional authority to operate and maintain the existing facility
and will operate and maintain the completed project at its expense.
D. FEDERAL LAND MANAGEMENT AGENCY COORDINATION
Town of Estes Park, Colorado has coordinated project development with the National Park Service.
The National Park Service support of the project is documented in the original project application.
Each party to this agreement who has a primary role in NEPA, design, or construction shall coordinate
their activities with the National Park Service.
E. PROJECT BACKGROUND/SCOPE
Schedule A- Downtown Estes Park Loop- Moraine Avenue and Riverside Drive
The project application for Schedule A was submitted under the FLAP project call for applications in
May of 2013.
The project traverses thru the Town of Estes Park via Elkhorn Avenue (US34/36), Moraine Avenue (US
36) and West and East Riverside Drive. The proposed project would reconfigure the circulation system
through Estes Park by realigning and reconstructing West and East Riverside Drives into a continuous
one-way (eastbound) roadway and reconfiguring Elkhorn Avenue/Moraine Avenue to a one-way
configuration (westbound) creating one-way couplets through Estes Park that would be US Highway 36.
4
The reconfiguration would also include upgrades to Rockwell Street to accommodate additional traffic
from the change of Elkhorn Avenue to one-way in the westbound direction.
5
Figure 1 – Project Area Map
Roadway. The West and East Riverside Drive and Ivy Street segments will be
reconstructed/realigned using a 25-mph design speed with two 12 foot travel lanes. The
application did not include any shoulders but the Town discussed the desire for some sort
of on-street bicycle lane, and CDOT standards generally require a minimum 4 foot
shoulder. The application shows parallel on street parking on the southern section of the
roadway, but no on-street parking on the northern end of Riverside Drive where there are
existing driveways, which would lead to backing out onto the US highway.
Route Segments:
The project application stated current average daily traffic (ADT) as 10,000 with current
seasonal ADT of 17,900 and projected ADT of 14,000 with a projected seasonal ADT of
25,060. These numbers represent the general total ADT through the project area using
the existing and proposed roadway segments to travel through Estes Park towards Rocky
Mountain National Park. ADT information shown for each roadway segment is an
estimation of the current configuration verse proposed project configuration for each
segment (Current/Proposed).
Segment 1: Elkhorn Avenue (US 36/US 34 Business) from E. Riverside Dr. to
Moraine Ave.
Currently two lanes westbound and one lane eastbound with curb and gutter and attached
sidewalk/streetscape. The Project will reconfigure this segment by restriping to two lanes
in a one-way configuration in the westbound direction expanding to two left turn lanes
and one through lane at Moraine Avenue intersection.
6
Figures 2 and 3 – Existing Elkhorn Avenue
Segment 2: Moraine Avenue (US 36) from Elkhorn Avenue to Crags Dr./W.
Riverside Dr.
Currently two lanes southbound and one lane northbound expanded to include an
additional northbound lane from Rockwell Street to Elkhorn Avenue. The existing
roadway has curb and gutter and attached sidewalk/streetscape. The Project will
reconfigure this segment by restriping to two lanes in a one-way configuration in the
southbound direction expanded to include a left turn lane in addition to the two through
lanes from Elkhorn Avenue to Rockwell Street.
Pedestrian walkway connectivity will be provided by extending the existing sidewalk on
the east side of Moraine Ave southward to connect to the proposed sidewalk on the west
side of W Riverside Drive described in Segment 3 below. A new enhanced pedestrian
crossing equipped with Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons will be constructed on Moraine
Avenue south of Davis Street.
Figures 4 and 5 – Existing Moraine Avenue
Segment 3: W Riverside Dr./Ivy St./E Riverside Dr. (Moraine Ave. to Elkhorn Ave.)
Currently these three roadway segments make up the parallel alternative route to Moraine
Avenue/Elkhorn Ave. These segments currently include a northbound and southbound
lane with varied on-street and adjacent parking (parallel, diagonal, straight in,
7
driveways), and sections of curb and gutter and attached sidewalk. The Project will
reconstruct and realign these segments into a continuous roadway segment with two
northbound lanes with curb and gutter and attached sidewalk, and sections of parallel
parking. The proposed project includes creating a new landscaped
roundabout intersection of Riverside Drive/Crags Drive/Moraine Avenue to provide
eastbound Moraine Avenue traffic a through movement to this segment which will
become the northbound section of US 36 through Estes Park
Figures 6 and 7 – Existing Riverside Drive
Segment 4: Rockwell Street from Moraine Ave to E. Riverside Dr.
Currently one lane from Moraine Avenue for approximately 250 feet to the existing
adjacent public parking lots, then one lane eastbound and westbound to East Riverside
Drive. The Project will keep this configuration; however, the amount of traffic will
greatly increase as this will be the eastbound route for traffic traveling eastbound on
Elkhorn Avenue west of Moraine Avenue.
Figures 8 and 9 – Existing Rockwell Street

Segment 5: W. Elkhorn Ave from Moraine Ave to Wonderview Ave
This 1.5 mile long segment of Elkhorn Ave contains one travel lane in each direction and
was devolved from CDOT ownership to TOEP ownership to generate local match funds
for this project. TOEP has the option to request including in the project design bid
drawings a bid alternate consisting of a 2" thick mill-and-overlay hot mix asphalt
resurfacing of this segment and the associated restriping. CFLHD is not obligated to
award this bid alternate and the Town is not obligated to pay the extra cost if the bid
alternate price exceeds $1,800,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this bid alternate
would increase TOEP’s local match amount, the Town may agree to further funding of
Option X by irrevocably pledging additional present cash reserves toward its additional
financial obligations at such time.
Bridge. The project includes the reconstruction of what was the Ivy Street bridge across
the Big Thompson River. This new structure will be on a skew and likely need to be
raised to provide the same or better clearance above the river. Only roadway resurfacing,
striping, and signing changes are proposed at the Rockwell Street and East Riverside
Avenue bridges, as they appear to be wide enough to accommodate the project..
Figure 10 – Existing Ivy Street Bridge Figure 11 – Ivy Street Bridge Joint
Roadway segments 1 and 2 are classified as urban minor arterial in rolling terrain with a
design and posted speed of 25 mph. Roadway Segments 3 and 4 are classified as urban
collector in rolling terrain with a design speed of 25 mph.
Specific areas of concern or areas of required work by functional discipline are as
follows:
Right of Way
Right of Way mapping of existing parcels/property boundaries is required. There are
potentially 5-7 full relocations and 10-20 other partial right-of-way acquisitions, and
numerous TCE's. The CDOT will lead the right-of-way acquisition process.
Utilities
Numerous utilities will need to be relocated including City wet utilities (water, sanitary
sewer) and private dry utilities (electrical, gas, communications). New Street lighting
9
will be required for the project. Potholes and/or ground penetrating radar will be required
to locate utilities.
Environment and Permits
Due to the potential for Section 4(f)/6(f), 106 issues and the overall level of
change/chance for public concern, an Environmental Assessment is assumed.
Survey
Full survey of all roadway segments for this project is required. Use of LIDAR may be
used to develop topographical mapping.
Bridge
The Ivy Street bridge will be reconstructed on a new alignment; the bridge will be
skewed across the Big Thompson River. It is assumed that Ivy Street can be completely
closed during construction.
No structural improvements are proposed at the Rockwell Street or East Riverside Road
bridges, as they appear to be wide enough to accommodate the project.
Hydraulics
The Big Thompson River channel between Ivy St and Rockwell St will be modified to
improve hydraulic capacity and provide safe, interactive, recreational human access to
the water from the walkway along the west riverbank.
Highway Design
This 4R project is short in length but full of challenges from the typical section for a US
highway, curvilinear alignment, on-street parking and access, pedestrian movements, and
construction phasing.
New traffic signal hardware and software will be installed at four locations: Elkhorn
Avenue at Riverside Avenue, Elkhorn Avenue at Moraine Avenue, Moraine Avenue at
the Riverwalk pedestrian crossing, and on Riverside Avenue at the Riverwalk pedestrian
crossing. A new colored concrete intersection will be provided at Elkhorn/Riverside
Avenues.
Pavements
E. Elkhorn Ave and Moraine Ave are candidates for mill and overlay. Existing paving
should be reused when possible. Pulverized asphalt can be used as high-quality fill or
base course in new pavement sections. CDOT design procedures and review will be
required for any State Highway pavements.
Geotechnical
Field investigations are anticipated for reconfiguration of the Ivy Street bridge and
retaining walls at the Moraine Avenue and Riverside Drive intersection. Right-of-entry
agreements may be required for the retaining wall boring access. All borings will also
10
require permitting from the Town of Estes Park and Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT).
Option X: Segment 5- West Elkhorn Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation
This segment was identified as a need following the project application process and
programming of Schedule A- Downtown Estes Park Loop- Moraine Avenue and
Riverside Drive. The purpose of Option X is to improve the riding surface and to extend
the useful life of the pavement as part of the devolution of the U.S. 34 Business Route.
Additionally, the installation of signage would improve safety along the roadway.
The Town applied for and received $4.2 million funding under the Colorado Department
of Transportation (CDOT) Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships
(RAMP) Program for the “devolution” of US 34 Business Route (West Elkhorn) back to
Town ownership and maintenance between the Elkhorn/Moraine intersection and
Wonderview Avenue. The devolution funds were then used for the required local agency
match toward the Downtown Estes Loop FLAP project. The mill and overlay project is
proposed to extend the useful life of the pavement as part of the devolution of U.S. 34
Business Route.
Environment and Permits
A Categorical Exclusion was performed for this work.
11
Survey
Full survey of all roadway segments for this project is required. Use of LIDAR may be
used to develop topographical mapping.
Highway Design
The proposed project is composed of milling, overlay, striping, and sign installation
within the existing roadway right of way and facility footprint for this 1.3-mile segment
along West Elkhorn Avenue. The milling and overlay project is proposed to extend the
useful life of the pavement as part of the devolution of U.S. 34 Business Route. New
signs would be installed to enhance safety along this segment of the roadway.
Pavements
Pavement rehabilitation for West Elkhorn is anticipated to be a mill and
overlay. Existing paving should be reused when possible. Pulverized asphalt can be used
as high-quality fill or base course in new pavement sections. CDOT design procedures
and review will be required for any State Highway pavements.

K. MATCHING SHARE REQUIREMENTS
Town of Estes Park (with previous the additional contribution from the Colorado
Department of Transportation) will provide 17.21% of the total Federal Lands Access
Program eligible project costs required for the project through construction contract
completion, closeout, and resolution of any disputes, in an amount not to exceed that
provided in separate funding agreements. The Any additional funds that CDOT elects has
elected to contribute towards the project will be included as part of the Town of Estes
Park’s 17.21% match requirement.
Matching or cost sharing requirements will be satisfied following the obligation of funds
to the project as detailed above in Section J.
Matching or cost sharing requirements may be satisfied following the obligation of funds
to the project by: allowable costs incurred by the State or local government, cash
donations, the fair and reasonable value of third party in-kind contributions (but only to
the extent that the value of the costs would be allowable if paid for by the party
responsible for meeting the matching share), including materials or services; however no
costs or value of third party contributions may count towards satisfying the matching
share requirements under this agreement if they have or will be counted towards meeting
the matching share requirements under another federal award.
Costs and third party contributions counting toward satisfying a cost sharing or matching
requirement must be verifiable from the records of the party responsible for meeting the
matching requirements. The records must demonstrate how the value of third party in
kind contributions was derived. Voluntary services sought to be applied to the matching
share will be supported by the same methods that the party to this agreement uses to
support allocability of personnel costs. Any donated services provided by a third party
will be valued at rates consistent with those ordinarily paid by employers for similar work
in the same labor market. Supplies furnished will be valued at their market value at the
time of donation. Donated equipment or space will be valued at fair rental rate of the
equipment or space. All records associated with valuations or costs under section K shall
be accessible and be maintained for three years following project close-out.
A Reimbursable Agreement (RA) will be executed to commit the match contribution
and initiate project delivery for CO FLAP 34(1) & 36(1). The CFLHD will bill Town
of Estes Park upon completion of the work in the RA, as tentatively outlined in the
RA. The CFLHD is limited to recovery of the matching share of actual costs incurred,
as reflected in the invoice provided by the CFLHD.
The CFLHD shall not incur costs which result in matching funds exceeding the
maximum cost stated in the Reimbursable Agreement without authorization by Town
of Estes Park in the form of written modification.

The Loop will destroy historic spaces which is illegal. I realize the loop project is far along in its completion
and that many people have invested a great deal in this project. But if it's all based on an illegal foundation,
isn't that reason enough to stop this very expensive project? Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Trustees ,
Loop is no longer needed
-Park Access problem in town has already been resolved via the Parks reservation system. After 45 years here I have
witnessed noticeable decline of the in town traffic.
- the only access problem now is Park entrance stations/ system.
…very antiquated and they need a dedicated shuttle lane. That would encourage more shuttle use
- no need when we’re on the verge of a recession to be spending unnecessary money. Put it towards work force housing .

Loop Special Meeting

The Maxwells <pdmaxwell@gmail.com>Fri, Nov 11, 2022 at 2:57 PM
To: "TownClerk@estes.org" <TownClerk@estes.org>
I've seen it printed here and there that a couple members of our local bureaucracy are now claiming they haven't heard
any dissenting views on the loop since the overage in costs has been revealed. To refresh the collective memory... after
months and months of gnashing of teeth, the Town Board REFUSED a vote. Gaslighting at its finest.
I would venture a guess that people are just... tired. People don't believe that their opinion matters on this. When the
prospect of the Loop project was brought to the public, there was WIDESPREAD disapproval. I'd say the majority
dissented, but we'll never know because for reasons that only highlight a refusal to actually represent the people of Estes
Park, the board at the time refused a vote on it. Funny how that works. I remember attending meetings and one
particular special town meeting in the Events Center where the board at the time heard HOURS of citizen feedback on the
loop - primarily against. In hindsight, having a meeting about a project that will require a truckload of tax dollars to
support INSIDE another project that requires a truckload of tax dollars to support is PEAK irony.
At EVERY step of this project, we've been told that there's no going back, that it would cost too much to go back or
abandon. All of this to build a road to literally nowhere. In this case, 'nowhere' is a National Park that does NOT WANT
more visitors. Now, apparently, we're hearing literally the opposite - that we need to spend MORE on overages than it
would have cost to abandon it then - in order to avoid abandoning it. Can't work both ways. And let's be real frank and
honest with ourselves about government projects - it will end up costing more - even more than the "more" projection
that spurred this meeting. It's just the nature of the beast.
To anyone claiming that they haven't heard any dissenting views - go back and reread the comments from those
meetings years ago. All of the points are equally valid today. In fact, multiply the concerns by the percentage of project
overage... those concerns, those frustrations are all still there.

I attended 3 separate meetings before the Board decided to go forward with the Loop. At each of these meetings,
nobody residing in the Estes Valley wanted the Loop. But, the Board, greedy for Federal dollars, decided to go forward
with the Loop anyway. The studies presented at these meetings concluded that the Loop would ameliorate downtown
traffic. Those studies are bogus. There are many more negatives than positives with the Loop, including ambulance
accessibility, accessibility for residents on Davis Hill, increased congestion downtown for shoppers, increased smog from
automobiles on Elkhorn and Riverside, much confusion for drivers, poor accessibility for shoppers wanting to visit the
western shops on Elkhorn.
I am totally opposed to the "Loop". Bridges can be fixed without those Federal dollars. There is easy access to RMNP
without it. Just what the Park needs -- more visitors clogging up the Park and both eastern entrances. Longer wait times
to enter the Park.
The Board needs to rethink this horrible Idea.

Public Comment:
This necessary project has been delayed for so many years, it is no wonder that the current cost estimates
are higher than the original proposed costs. This project is the most likely method to reduce the
unacceptable traffic congestion in Estes Park's central business district. If this construction is delayed for
yet more years, the costs will only become higher. If The Loop is canceled altogether, then our critical
tourist economy will suffer yet more reasons for potential visitors to simply spend time in less congested
resorts. The Loop Project must be be started now. The needed property has been acquired, and the plans
for construction have been made and reviewed. It is long past time to complete this work. Steve Komito

To: Town Clerk <townclerk@estes.org>, Travis Machalek <tmachalek@estes.org>
To the Board of Trustees:
There is another option for proceeding with the Loop Project, which wasn't mentioned by the staff at their presentation. It
could be pursued as a phased project, with the highest priority portions done now. I would argue that the greatest need is
to do something to improve the Moraine curve intersection, ideally with the round-about design. Second on the priority list
would be to improve/rebuild West Riverside from the Moraine intersection to the post office.
These improvements are sorely needed now, and could be done without any disruption to Downtown. Only minor
changes to the current designs would be needed to adapt them for phasing. The major downtown work could be re-bid
and done later, hopefully when costs come back down. At the very least, CDOT will have to re-pave the areas in their
right-of-way through downtown.
I urge you to explore this option, so something can get done. This project has done nothing but damage so far - buildings
and retaining walls demolished, leaving empty lots with temporary concrete barriers and construction fencing. I'm in the
construction business, and I have no idea how or why the bids for this project came in so high. Inflation for general
construction isn't really that bad. Phasing the work as I've suggested would clean up a lot of the most unsightly loop-
related things, and improve traffic flow.

Re: BUDGET-BUSTING BIDS FOR ESTES LOOP PROMPT SEARCH FOR OPTIONS
November 14, 2022
Dear Trustees:
Thank you for your public service.
I’m a taxpaying elector and town stakeholder. I own property on the south end of E Riverside Drive adjacent to the
Downtown Estes Loop project.
From the beginning, I’ve watched over Town Hall’s handling of the Federal project. At first I gave Town Officials the
benefit of the doubt, but by now, with all the missteps and broken promises, I have lost all confidence in the project and
project team. They have abused all public trust.
For example, contrary to promises:
Public outreach became a sham when stakeholders were forced into “Alternative 1”.
An unconscionable termination clause became the most persuasive reason for moving forward.
There was never project funding for three bridges, only one.
There is no project funding to replace publicly owned Section 4(f) parklands (Baldwin and Children’s Parks).
AECOM has determined that the project will actually increase (not decrease) the flood risk profile on my riverside
property and the project has no funding to mitigate the threat or negative impacts.
For this track record and much more, please register my standing objection to the Downtown Estes Loop project and any
extensions thereof.
Your Federal partner and the Public Work Department forced us into their 365/24/7 one-way highway realignment couplet
and dismissed all locally generated alternatives and options. They should take responsibility for their project.
If you move ahead with them, please insist they take on 100% of the budget-busting costs and where possible apply
project and Town resources for storm-water management where it is more needed. And please make a plan and fund
now all costs to mitigate project caused flooding and replacement of Section 4(f) parklands. If not now, when?
Thank you,
Rick Grigsby

Jackie, Please distribute this to the Trustees.
To the Trustees:
I find it ironic that the Public Works Director has asked for a special Town Board meeting on the loop
funding, because the time is running short and you have to answer within the specified response time or
you're out of luck.
That is the same message that the former Public Works Director presented to the Town Board in November
of 2013 about the loop project (and various other benefits to go along with it) offered by the FLAP grant.
Nine years later, here we are again, only this time it is going to cost the Town of Estes Park another
$1,000,000 on top of the $4,700,000 already pledged/spent when previous boards have said they would pay
no more than what has already been pledged and contributed.
Just wanted to share my thoughts. Thank you for your time and attention.

Public Comment:
Please continue to support the Downtown Estes Loop project and fill in the funding gap to have the work
started in early 2023. This project reflects years of work (and deferred improvements) and provides much
needed infrastructure (including roadway, pedestrian space, and river/bridge) improvements. Additionally,
we know that we cannot complete such large infrastructure projects without the partnerships of local, State,
and Federal agencies and dollars. We depend on those partnerships for all sorts of projects. The
downtown area of Estes Park deserves the facelift and upgrade that this project represents. Estes Park will
always be the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park and needs this improved infrastructure to handle
the traffic flow through the downtown. With years of studying, considerations, and continued support from
past Town Boards (even with opposition in the crowd) THIS Board is now positioned to see the project
through to completion. Please vote to fund the project now.

Agenda Item Title: Downtown Estes Loop: Resolution 93-22.
Public Comment:
This past season the traffic was kept moving by the traffic officers who responded to what was actually
happening in real time to keep traffic moving through town. The Loop is solving a problem that doesn't
really exist. Along with the paid parking, congestion downtown is much less problematic than in the past.
Do we really want to whisk visitors quickly through downtown to get to the lines at park entrances? The one
way traffic for one block is unnecessary and will have an impact on W. Elkhorn businesses. Additionally as
you drive through town, maybe on your way home from work, you will often be forced to get stuck in Loop
traffic from people exiting the park. The Loop just moves the traffic somewhere else and destroys the
beautiful, serene park across from the Post Office. There are many more important projects that could be
done that benefit Estes Valley citizens and visitors.

Dear Trustees, I would like to add my support for option 3 as outlined in the Memo from Greg Muhonen to
the Town Board dated November 17th. I believe the infrastructure improvements included in the project will
greatly improve the downtown area and would be hard to accomplish if the Town was left to make the
upgrades with its own money. I also think that despite RMNP implementing a timed entry program, Estes
Park will continue to see an increase in visitation that will necessitate changes to the downtown area in the
future. Thank you for your consideration, Kristen Ekeren

What if you redesign the project? NO LOOP, but maybe a roundabout at Riverside/Rockwell. How about a

would help traffic and appease FLAP and you can still get all of your "free" projects done.

Hi Wendy and Scott -
I'm addressing this to you as you were the only Town Board members to respond to my previous comments on this issue.
The proposal to spend another million dollars (in addition to what Eric Blackhurst said in his letter was already an
expenditure of $4.5 million) is not an insignificant amount of money. I and many others think this is something that the
residents of Estes Park should be allowed to vote on. If we had been offered this opportunity in 2013, we would not be
having this ongoing discussion.
I am not disputing the idea that change is necessary. But people will continue to visit and want to live in Estes Park
despite the fact that we are not Vail or even Breckenridge. I would like to remind you of some previous "improvements"
which were not realized because of monetary constraints much less than $1,000,000. Do you enjoy the Knoll/Willows?
Would you like to have an outlet mall there? Especially since the idea of outlet malls seems to be passe? Do you know
anybody who lives in the River Rock community on Moraine? Would you rather that a "wildlife zoo" had been developed
there? Do you remember that some people, including former Town staff members thought our town would be improved by
the addition of an IMAX theater in the municipal building? And though the Town Board was not directly involved, what
ever happened to the idea of a performing arts center?
If you can't offer the general public the chance to vote on this ill-conceived project, have you considered polling the
residents of the areas most directly affected? That would be the residents of Davis Hill who could endure up to two years
of construction noise and traffic misdirection. And the residents of East Riverside Drive who would have to drive around
by the hospital to access their homes or businesses. And the residents of West Riverside Drive who would suddenly find
themselves on the main route to and from the Beaver Meadows entrance to RMNP. Then there are all the people who use
the post office and enjoy Baldwin Park.
Thanks for listening. I hope you will do the right thing.

Through no fault of Public works they find themselves before the board again asking for additional funds to
complete the long awaited loop project. Even with the additional funding need this project is economically
sound. Not only does it add further mitigation to the traffic congestion but it provides much needed
infrastructures solutions. Sometimes a community is asked to be inconvenienced in the short term for a
long term goal. It would not be prudent to turn away from this sweet deal that has been provide by CDOT
and the FLAP grant. I support option #3 with no hesitation! I am hesitant as a community member to set a

Transportation Advisory Board Downtown Estes Loop Letter 1
November 17, 2022
Re: Town Board Special Meeting for Discussion of Downtown Estes Loop – November 17, 2022
Dear Honorable Mayor Koenig and Trustees,
The Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) recommends memo proposal Option 3,
implementing the Downtown Estes Loop (DEL) project beginning in January 2023. Option 3
requires an additional financial local match of $1 million. The price increase and short-term
construction challenges are considered reasonable in comparison to the long-term benefits of
the project. The financial contribution by the Town will be substantially leveraged by the
project partners. TAB enthusiastically welcomes the needed upgrades: flood-resilient
infrastructure; extensive multi-modal access; and improving the eastern gateway to Downtown
Estes Park.
The visionary 2018 Downtown Plan (DP) addressed the need for a resilient and thriving
downtown, which at its foundation requires infrastructure improvements. The DP assumed the
DEL would be constructed with chapters on circulation, connectivity, flood mitigation, and open
spaces. The DEL is the first step in implementing the safety components of the Plan. As Estes
Park experiences slow-moving disasters such as drought, climate change, and invasive beetles,
or fast-moving catastrophic events such as forest fires and flooding, our community will need to
be prepared. To become resilient, our community must invest in significant infrastructure
improvements. The DEL project is a step toward that resilient future forecasted in the 2018 DP.
TAB has actively been an advisor throughout the DEL project process. Following robust and
thorough discussions, TAB has provided multiple recommendation letters and in-person
statements to the Town Board in favor of the project. TAB recognizes that the purpose of the
Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) granted project emphasized easier access to Rocky
Mountain National Park (RMNP); however, from the beginning, members have also consistently
recognized the project’s extensive beneficial infrastructure upgrades for the Town of Estes
Park. We recognize that introduction of the timed entry program at RMNP has improved the
management of motorists entering the park; however, that improvement has not addressed
other safety needs within downtown Estes Park, nor mitigated the impacts of heavy traffic
volumes exiting the park. The diverse benefits of the DEL project are still very much needed.
Construction in downtown will temporarily be disruptive and require residents, visitors, and
downtown business owners to adapt. We believe the project benefits will outweigh the
challenges of the short-term disruptions. The downtown business district will continue to thrive
while building its resiliency against surrounding environmental disasters, which occur more and
more frequently. The DEL will provide safer access to and from the downtown through ADA
approved multi-modal options while reducing congestion and lowering toxic emissions.
TAB vote and opposing opinions:
PUBLIC COMMENT RECEIVED 2022-11-17
Transportation Advisory Board Downtown Estes Loop Letter 2
Eight TAB members support Option 3 and one member supports Option 1. Concerns were
discussed thoroughly throughout the evolution of the DEL project design.
Certain issues were directly raised by the TAB member supporting Option 1, who represents
several downtown businesses, visitors and residents he generously surveyed over a number of
years. The financial impact to downtown businesses from the proposed design and construction
of the project is uncertain. Some businesses consider the DEL a high risk to sustaining their
businesses in the short- and long- term. The need for multi-modal access and circulation
improvements is not considered a priority for some downtown businesses. That the DEL could
potentially eliminate the “Village” character of downtown is another concern voiced by the TAB
member, the downtown businesses, and visitors he surveyed.
The eight TAB members supporting Option 3 have respectfully considered the feedback and
concerns expressed by the opposing TAB member.
Beneficial Outcomes for the Town of Estes Park:
1. Provides flood mitigation by increasing the channel capacity of the Big Thompson
River within the project, provides a flood overflow pipe near Picadilly Square, and
reduces the footprint of the flood flows within the project area.
2. Provides improved storm water drainage at multiple locations.
3. Improves water distribution utilities for firefighting.
4. Increased flood flow capacity at the new Ivy Street bridge.
5. New roundabout at the currently dangerous Crags and Moraine Ave intersection.
6. Expanded parking along Moraine Avenue and Riverside Avenue.
7. Installation of 4 traffic lights.
8. Upgrades to Baldwin Park.
9. Encourages circulation and access for bicycles, pedestrians, and transit through wider,
connected sidewalks for pedestrians and wheelchair users; bike lanes and shared
roadways for multi-modal transportation; and a new transit stop provided on Riverside
Avenue.
10. Reduces traffic congestion.
11. Reduces toxic emissions from vehicles.
12. Improves road and sidewalk surfaces.
13. Adds pedestrian crossings on Moraine Avenue and Riverside Avenue.
14. Improves infrastructure, which will incentivize private investors.
15. Strategically aligns with the 2018 Downtown Plan.
16. Aligns with the Estes Park Complete Streets Policy.
Concerns of the Downtown Estes LOOP:
1. Disruption to downtown and traffic chaos during the construction of the DEL.
2. Financial uncertainty during the construction and outcome of its implementation.
Transportation Advisory Board Downtown Estes Loop Letter 3
3. Fear the Town will lose its village character.
4. Lack of need for improving circulation and multi-modal access to the downtown.
Finally, TAB members acknowledge the need to protect and respect relationships between
agency partners for future capital projects. Proceeding with Option 3 will strengthen
cooperation and trust as the Town of Estes Park fulfills its grant obligations by delivering a
successful Downtown Estes Loop project.
The TAB thanks the Honorable Mayor, Wendy Koenig, and Town Trustees for allowing the
opportunity to provide our recommendation. It is our intention, after a robust review of an
issue, to provide our collaborative recommendation.
Sincerely,
Belle Morris
Chair, Estes Park Transportation Advisory Board
