Elkhorn and 3)Moraine TOWN of ESTES PARK Inter-Office Memorandum May 8, 2001 TO: Public Works Committee FROM: Avalon Truck Traffic Task Team Ra* Repola, Bob Joseph, Bill Linnane 60'fb SUBJECT: Brook/Avalon truck traffic - Petition requesting removal Background: The Mayor received a petition signed by 27 Brook Drive/Avalon Drive residents requesting that commercial truck traffic be banned from Avalon Drive. Along with this petition, the Mayor also received one letter from Ms. Laura Schmidt and one letter from Mr. Mike Schmidt both residing at 1110 Brook Drive, requesting commercial truck traffic be banned from Avalon Drive. The main complaint issues are noise from Jake brakes and the safety of neighborhood children. Town Administrator Widmer formed a Task Team consisting of Randy Repola, Bob Joseph and Bill Linnane to research this request and make a recommendation to the Public Works Committee concerning truck traffic on Avalon Drive. The Task Team met on several occasions to discuss the problem. In addition, it also contacted the Public Works Departments of the City of Loveland and Larimer County to see how they handle similar problems and requests. Since the 1995 Model Traffic Code does allow municipalities to ban truck traffic on roadways, the Team wanted to know what circumstances trigger the banning of commercial truck traffic in other Front Range cities. (ConNnued on Page 2) Budget/Cost N/A Recommendation: The Task Team recommends allowing commercial truck traffic on Avalon Drive. The team also recommends continuing police patrol presence in the area to ensure pedestrian safety. The Task Team will contact the trucking companies and ask that they restrict the use of Jake brakes in the area. 1-1 Background - Continued from Page 1 Larimer County and Lowland have banned truck traffic on particular roadways if there is an acceptable alternate route. They have banned truck traffic for the following situations: 1) Trucks using a "cut through" local residential street instead of using the parallel and adjacent commercially zoned state highway. 2) Trucks using two residentially zoned state highways instead of an adjacent and parallel commercially zoned state highway. In this case the ban was from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. 3) Substandard roadway conditions such as inadequate pavement thickness or a sub-standard one-lane bridge. The attached map shows the possible alternative routes available if the Avalon ban were allowed. All but the Causeway route involve similar residential local streets. Each of the alternate routes results in shifting the Avalon truck problem to another neighborhood. The Causeway route may not be feasible since it is a very long detour and truck drivers may not use it Banning truck traffic from Avalon and shifting it to another neighborhood is not a logical choice. Noise and children's safety issues may be addressed by continuing the Police Department presence along Avalon. The Town will ask the trucking companies to reduce Jake brake usage in the area. It should be noted that the Public Works Department installed a "speed table" on Avalon and feedback indicates that the average vehicle speed in the area has been reduced. Also, the Police Department significantly increased Police patrol in the area last year when the Department became aware of a speeding problem.

(2) "db(A)" means sound levels in decibels measured on the "A" scale of a standard sound level meter having characteristics defined by the American national standards institute, publication Sl. 4 - 1971. (3) "Decibel" is a unit used to express the magnitude of a change in sound level. The difference in decibels between two sound pressure levels is twenty times the common logarithm o f their ratio. In sound pressure measurements sound levels are defined as twenty times the common logarithm ofthe ratio of that sound pressure level to a reference level of 2xl 0-5 N/m2 (Newton's/meter squared). As an example of the effect of the formula, a three-decibel change is a one hundred percent increase or decrease in the sound level, and a ten-decibel change is a one thousand percent increase or decrease in the sound level. (4) "Industrial zone" means an area in which noise restrictions on industry are necessary to protect the value o f adjacent properties for other economic activity but shall not include agricultural operations. (5) "Light industrial and commercial zone" means: (a) An area containing clean and quiet research laboratories; (b) An area containing light industrial activities which are clean and quiet; (c) An area containing warehousing; or http://64.78.178.125/cgi-dos/statdspp.exe 1-6 2%2d102&r==10&s=1360&cr==1 5/11/2001 Statute 25-12-102 , , Page 2 0 f 2 (d) An area in which other activities are conducted where the general environment is free from concentrated industrial activity. (6) "Residential zone" means an area o f single-family or multi family dwellings where businesses may or may not be conducted in such dwellings. The zone includes areas where multiple-unit dwellings, high-rise apartment districts, and redevelopment districts are located. A residential zone may include areas containing accommodations for transients such as motels and hotels and residential areas with limited office development, but it may not include retail shopping facilities. "Residential zone" includes hospitals, nursing homes, and similar institutional facilities. Source: L. 71: p. 647, § 1. C.R.S. 1963: § 66-35-2. L. 73: p. 1406, § 47.

Construction is antic*ated to begin no later than February 2002, but could begin as early as October 2001. A Design/Build Request for Proposal (RFP) was sent to all three local, licensed architects. On May 1, 2001, the bid due date, proposals were received from two Design/Build Teams: Thorp/Heath; and Basis/Gregg. (Continued on Page 2) Cost/Budget The Town budgeted $365,000 for design and conslruction. This RFP does not include construction costs. Proposed fees: Thorp/Heath Team Basis/Gregg Team Architect Preliminary $24,670 $22,100 Final $48,210 $17,500 Contractor Contractor direct fees: $23,100 (7%) $33,000 (10%) Subtotal: $95,980 $72,600 Contractor indirect general fees: $42,000 Unknown Total: $137,980 Unknown Note: Thorp provided a fa112001 construction option: Contractor direct fees: $16,500 (5%) Contractor indirect general fees: $28,000 This could reduce their price a minimum of $20,600 for a total of $117,380 Recommendation: The Selection Committee requests approval to award the Design/Build Contract to the Thorp/Heath Team. 2-1 Background - Continued~om Page 1 An interview committee consisting of Rich Widmer, Vickie O'Connor, Greg Sievers and Bill I.innane interviewed the two teams on Monday, May 78. The teams were rated in the following categories: • Council Chambers/Board Room Design experience • Council Chambers/Board Room construction experience • Estes Park Board Room Project insight • Project presentation e Fees Based on the review criterion, the Selection Committee unanimously chose the Thorp/Heath Team as the top selection. The Thorp/Heath Team has extensive experience in theater design and was strengthened by the addition of an acoustic/perfonning arts technology consultant David L. Adams Assoc. Inc. Mr. Ed Logsdon (D.L. Adams), Mr. Randy DeMaris (Heath) and Mr. Roger Thorp gave the Committee a very comprehensive and insightful presentation. Mr. Logsdon (D.L. Adams) was particularly impressive, demonstrating his firm's acoustic, audio, visual accomplishments, in particular, the following council chambers: Grand Ju~ction Council Chambers, Vail Council Chambers, Fort Collins Council Chambers, El Paso County Commissioners Chambers, Loveland Council Chambers and Wheat Ridge Council Chambers. The firm's r#sunid also includes an additional 20 municipal, state and federal facilities design projects. Although very professional and reputable, the proposal package and presentation by Steve Lane (Basis) and Bruce Gregg (Gregg Construction) did not offer the technical expertise that the Committee felt was necessary for such a specialized project The Team's proposed audio visual design consultant was not present for the interview, therefore could not add insight into the project and answer pertinent questions that the selection committee had. The selected Design/Build Team will prepare a preliminary and final Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). After the GMP has been determined, the selection committee will return to the PWC for authorization to proceed with construction. Any budget adjustments would have to be approved at that time.

The Fall River Trail System will provide a pedestrian/bicycle pathway from the downtown area along the Fall River corridor to Rocky Mountain Gateway (National Park Village North) and the National Park Service Fall River Visitor Center. CES 's scope of services will include the following: · Utilize the Town data base of aerial and topographic mapping to develop 1"=100' scale base maps for the Fall River corridor in the vicinity of the proposed trail. Preliminarily, this will include an area from approximately 50 feet north and east of the Highway 34 right-o f-way to approximately 100 feet south and west of Fall River. • Research right-of-ways and easements along the corridor. Research will include Colorado Department of Transportation right-of-way maps, Larimer County right-o f-way maps, subdivision plats and Town o f Estes Park Development Plans. Delineate the property lines, right-of-way, and easements on the Fall River corridor base maps. · Develop a recommended location for the Fall River Trail based upon the base maps, field reconnaissance, trail safety, and trail user experience. · Show the recommended trail alignment on the base maps and indicate any required easements necessary for the proposed trail location. · Prepare a preliminary engineering report which would include cost estimates for trail construction, right-of-way and easement acquisition, project phasing and recommendations for any problem areas that we recognize along the proposed alignment. 3-4 The total cost for the CES Fall River Trail Preliminary Engineering Report is $4350.00 which includes meetings with private groups, Town staff and presentation at the Town Public Works Committee and/or Town Board as necessary. A draft of the report will be prepared by April 15, 2001. If you have questions or need further information please do not hesitate to call me.

VAN HORN - COLO. PE & PLS 9485 March 5, 2001 Town of Estes Park Bill Linnane 170 Mac Gregor Ave. Estes Park, CO 80517 RE: Scope of Services - Fall River Trail Dear Mr. Linnane, Thank you for asking Van Horn Engineering to provide this Scope of Services Cost for the Fall River Trail Project. Our cost for the Scope of Services that was presented to us in your February 20th letter is $16,872.00; however, we can not commit to the April 15th deadline that is mentioned in your letter for the final report. If the deadline can be extended to the end of May, we would very much like to be considered for this work. Upon receipt of your request, employees of Van Horn Engineering have discussed this project in detail. We find it an interesting and challenging civic project and hope to be involved in its development. We feel that our combined knowledge of the terrain and ownership in that area would be of great value in .what is bound to be a sensitive and possibly controversial project. The text below represents our company discussions and thoughts relative to each task that was listed in your request letter dated February 20, 2001: A. Right-of-way and easement research for a recommendation for a trail system. Along Fall River from Nicky's to National Park Village North. Along Fall River from Nicky's to Downtown. Although this task could be subcontracted through title companies or through a Loveland based right-of- way acquisition company, Van Horn Engineering (VHE) proposes to perform this task internally. We plan to fully utilize existing available resources such as current Town digital and photogrammetrical mapping, tax records, recorded subdivision plats and State Highway plan information. If additional ownership or easement information is needed in specific areas, individual parcel research can be performed. The section upstream of Nicky's consists oflarger parcels and fewer potential complications related to easement and right-ofway acquisitions. The section downsteram of Nicky's could involve as many as 40 individual properties. B. A recommended location for a trail along Fall River from Downtown to National Park Village North. 1043 Fish Creek Road · RO. Box 456 · Estes Park, Colorado 80517 · 970-586-9388 · Fax 970-586-8101 3-6 March 5, 2001 Fall River Trail Scope of Services Page2 VHE proposes that this task would be somewhat a team approach involving the Estes Park Trail Committee and local input. We are aware that the existing local Trail Committee has discussed this project andpreliminarilyfield reviewed someoptions forits location. Ourinitialthoughts forcompleting this taskwouldinvolve thefollowing process: 1. Meet with Trails Committee on site to review their past and current project related information. 2. Perform (confirm) right-of-way and easement research to determinefeasibility of initial desired location oftrail. 3. Peiform field surveying and engineering services to assess physical andfinancial reasonability of trail construction at the initial desired location. 4. Personally pursueinitial contacts withlandowners forright-Of-way and/or easement acquisitionsfor critical trail locations where existing easements or rights-of-way do not exist. Given that condemnation is not an option for this type ofproject, FHE feels that local landowners will be more receptive to a personal, local, contact rather than sub-contracting this task. 5. Report back to Trails Committeeinan open houseformatsoliciting public comments on the determined recommended design location for the trail. C. A detached cost estimate for the trail at the recommended location, including R.O.W. and/or easement purchase. With the Trails Committee's involvement, initial contact with potential ownership acquisition(s) and public acknowledgement of the recommended design location in hand, a relatively detailed cost estiniate can be produced for the project. Preliminary negotiations related to right-of-way or easement acquisitions can begin and associated costs estimated and included. Details for river and road crossings, and pedestrian bridges can be preliminarily determined and the associated cost estimates produced. D. A recommendation for the project phasing schedule. The first phase construction cost would be either $150,000 or $300,000, depending on the recommendation. Project phasing, based on funding, could be easily achieved given the results of the work done prior to this stage. Discussions at VHE included the possible need for different surfacing for reaches of the proposed trail at digerent stages of construction. It may befinancially advantageous to rough grade large sections of the trail in initial phase(s) ofconstruction and place long reaches offinal surfacing in later phases. Again, our total for this Scope of Services Cost is $16,872.00. To be clear, this Scope of Services Cost is for research, design location, associated costs, and phasing schedule for a recommended location for a trail along Fall River. It is our understanding that condemnation is not a viable option for trail projects as of yet. As you know, finalization of a route selection will be a fairly uncertain situation until easements or rights-of-way are obtained and recorded. We have done our best to outline a process that we feel has the best chance to succeed. We are very interested in working with the Town on this challenging and interesting public benefit project. We regret that we can not commit to the desired April 15th deadline. If there are questions, do not hesitate t~ phone me at (970) 586-9388. Sincerely / -4049 5-k-- William G. Van Horn Colorado P.E. and P.L.S. # 9485 3-7 - Town of Estes Park Inter-Office Memorandum May 17,2001 TO: Public Works Committee FROM: Wil Smith, Rotary Club of Estes Park; Chair, Community Projects Committee,d~5 Bill Linnane, Public Works Director CJ-fu SUBJECT: Proposed Community Entrance Sign Project Background: The Rotary Club of Estes Park is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year. In considering ways to celebrate this milestone and make a lasting contribution to the community, the Club is proposing to sponsor community entrance signs in partnership with the Chamber, the Town and other potential contributors. This is an area in which Estes Park fares poorly, in comparison with other mountain communities. The Rotary Community Projects Committee has the good fortune of having as a member Roger Thorp, AIA, who prepared several conceptual designs for signage, one of which emerged as the strong favorite of the Committee. A sketch of this design is attached. Rotary is requesting that a Rotary emblem be affixed to at least one sign (preferably Highway 36 from the east), in recognition of the 75th Anniversary and the Club contribution. The proposal is to construct a sign at each major entrance to the community: Highway 36 from the east, Highway 34 from the east, Highway 36 from the west, Highway 34 from the west and Highway 7 from the south. Based upon the enthusiasm expressed to date, it is hoped that it will be possible to construct three signs this year, on the two eastern entrances and from the south. It is proposed that the signs be placed to take advantage of the magnificent views of the Estes Valley. Suggested locations for the three initial entrance signs are attached, reflecting the preference of Wil Smith and Bill Linnane. It is presumed at this stage that the CDOT right-of-way will safely accommodate the signs; therefore, CDOT approval is required. Staff will perform the necessary permitting activities relative,to CDOT approval. Cost/Budget: It is estimated that each sign will cost between $12,000 and $15,000 or $36,000 to $45,000 for the proposed initial three signs. Economies of scale may be realized if the three are done at the same time. As of this date, the following funding commitments have occurred: Rotary Club of Estes Park Board contribution: $4,000 High School Senior Class contribution: 500 Rotary membership contribution, to date: 925 (Anticipated to grow) Use ofcrane, Alpine Crane, John Heffley, Rotarian: 6,000 (Estimated value: at least $2,000 per sign) Chamber Resort Association: To be determined. Assured to date: $11,425 Recommendation: Staff anticipates that there will be economies of scale if the three signs are done simultaneously. Staff recommends that the Town allocate $30,000 to this endeavor. When combined with the contributions to date, this should cover the cost of the three initial signs. Staff requests a decision concerning whether or not the Rotary symbol shall be affixed to one or more signs. Staff requests approval to proceed with coordination and permitting with CDOT, relative to the three recommended signs locations. 4-1 1 - ca«-F ' ad 4, 1 4 /3 1 j =$ 1 I \ f TE _ -2-0 3 1 -S 93 0 -949 . 4-2 0 Distressd Slab Stone - 1--1-4 - 1 k>£.L- ... , 1 1 .-1.,1 - f 7 + 1.111-*23*-497.- " ---1......

Over the next six years, 21,000 feet ofconcrete trail, bridges, and a concrete underpass would be constructed at a cost of $2,000,000 completing a circuitous loop around Lake Estes. The i trail system immediately became apopularcommunity resourceproviding a safe recreational facility for users of all ages. The project was completed through intergovernmental cooperation led by the 7 Town of Estes Park and included the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District, Colorado Department of Transportation, Great Outdoors Colorado, Lai-inier County Open Lands and the Bureau of Reclamation. As construction was completed on the Lake Estes Trail System, the Town of Estes Park recognized the need to further expand the highly popular trail system to provide safe pedestrian · access to Stanley Park and the Park R-3 School complex. (See Figure 1) An underpass crossing of the U.S. Highway 36 corridor in the vicinity of Community Drive was identified as providing this "safepedestrian connection". As part ofthe design process a preliminary design evaluation has been prepared detailing the impacts to U.S. Highway 36, Community Drive and the existing trail system 1.2 Purpose The purpose of the evaluation is to consolidate available information pertaining to the study area. The study identifies and analyzes existing and potential constraints along U.S. Highway 36 and Community Drive relative to the placenient ofa pedestrian underpass. Iii particular the report: • Analyzes the existing and proposed highway geometry and the U.S. Highway 36/Community Drive Intersection. Evaluate the alignment of the proposed pedestrian trail under U.S. Highway 36. Evaluate the alignment of the proposed pedestrian trail from U.S. Highway 36 to Brodie Avenue. Analyzes the existing and proposed hydraulics of the study area. Develops construction and engineering costs for budgetary purposes associated with the project. Makes recommendations for scheduling, traffic control and development of the design. 5-3 ......... 1» PROPOSED HWY 33\ UNDERPASS LOCATION ~ (SEE SHEET 2 OF 3) - LAKE ESTES N EXISTING -- CAUSEWAY BIKE TRAIL 0 14 US +7-VY36~~~ LAKE ESTES 1 4/ H/» ON FISH CREEK 3-90 1< gl ' 7 t ----- ~ 4 · STANL-i PARK PROPOSED ALIGNMENT FOR 9 BICYCLE TRAIL l 4 G.ZZIn -bn~~,0.~ --~ L 3 mi f 1 I 1 NO j rt /r 7 1te f«4 tg i.11 «-bje C-1 07·13 FISH CREEK ROAIYQh====559 ~/ vs/-N~EOD ~~V-r 'C--~~~-~J x~~~ n 4/ Ll 0 1- 0 44/9/2 04 9 0 0 iD 41 0 «»\.--9» - - Il--- -3~7 - / /< ELIMENTARy j - SCHOOL- ~ © ~ MIDDLEAJ /~ 4 SCHOOL>K l 4 /1.- 1.\ C i U U 1 A 1 0 13 d L. \\--- n. 5 8 BROD]E Avt. . ~ 00 (» r 1 904/90 , 49 00 4 i /3.1 0% 7 I ~~3(fotiou Ef--3) «°-» / 23 /0 9 Q Inf - nap-Ln-91 )" lutjf (7 /4/4 , j _ VICINITY MAP CORNE*sTONE FIGURE 1 F2•CWNEERING & 0 3~ SURVE;m*1 INC 5-4 ' 4,7 sol,„ 57. -...~~~~~ t,70) 388-2•51 Ilits '•R•. co. lost' '9~*07 'Al ("0) 581-2.3, FIELD 1.3 Acknowledgments Integral to the preparation of the study was the professional involvement and direction provided by the Town of Estes Park and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) staff. Mr. Bill Linnane, P.E., Public Works Director, Town of Estes Park provided technical assistance in identifying key issues. Ms. Wendy Turner, Project Manager ( CDOT) for project coordination and management, and Severin Engineering, LLC for hydraulic analysis of the project area. 2.0 DATA ACOUISITION 2.1 Meeting An initial coordination meeting was held on February 15, 2001 at the project area. The purpose of the meeting was to assemble the design team with Town of Estes Park and CDOT personnel to identify project design objectives. Present for the Town of Estes Park were Bill Linnane and Greg Sievers and for CDOT were Wendy Turner and Jeff Manuel. One issue discussed during the meeting was future widening of the causeway and installation ofnew guardrail system. Other items related to design criteria forroadway, intersection, pedestrian underpass and survey coordination to the CDOT coordinate system. 2.2 Survey and Base Map U.S. Highway 36 approximately 600 feet either side of the Community Drive intersection and approximately 600 feet of Community Drive was surveyed. The survey was adjusted to the CDOT coordinate system. The results were utilized to create accurate (1" = 40% 1 ' contour interval) base maps of the project area showing existing roadways, topography, utilities, rights-of-way and other features which are pertinent to tile proposed improvements. Recent aerial photographs and field observations were utilized for alignment of the trail from the underpass to Brodie Avenue. 3.0 ANALYSIS 3.1 Roadway Design Parameters Roadway design geometry is based on an urban collector street with a design speed of45 mph. Design standards are per the CDOT Design Guide, Vol. I & II and AASHTO, A Policy on Geometric Design ofHighway and Streets: CDOT, the State Highway Access Code and the Estes Valley Development Code. Currently, the total paved width ofU.S. Highway 36 averages 28 feet. A substandard cable guardrail is approximately 2 feet offofthe edge of the asphalt road on each side of the road. The highway is crowned at 2% slope. 5-5 Based on the design speed, roadway classification, and proposed grades the design length of a crest vertical curve is 280 feet and a sag vertical curve is 200 feet. The following are preliminary asplialt and road base thickness quantities based on design values for the U.S. 34/36 Highway Project built in 2000: Aizarcizate Base Course Hot Bitiminous Parement Highway 36 8" 5" Community Drive 4,1 3" The existing highway guardrail along the causeway consists of two steel cables approximately 2 feet higli supported by wood posts. The existing guardrail does not meet the minimum safety standards set forth by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Colorado Department of Transportation has plans set for the replacement of the guardrail over the next several years. With substantial modification to the highway, CDOT would likely dictate that the adjoining portion of guardrail be upgraded to current standards. An improved guardrail would not only improve safety for motorists on the causeway, but provide an improved safety barrier between : the highway and the pedestrian trail. Colorado Department of Transportation has discussed widening of the highway a along the causeway as part of its transportation improvement projects. With the existing pedestrian trail located along the north edge of the causeway, widening of the highway would be primarily to the south. Widening of U.S. Highway 36 was taken into account in the proposed alignment and elevation of the underpass. The undeipass could be easily extended to facilitate widening of the highway. 3.2 Alternative Analysis Two locations were investigated for the U.S. Highway 36 underpass. The first (preferred alternative) is adjacent to Community Drive. Tlie proposed underpass would be aligned approximately perpendicular to U.S. Highway 36 and located approximately 60 feet east of Community Drive. The finished trail elevation at each end of the underpass is proposed to be 7,481 feet. The trail would slope up at 0.5% from each end to the middle to help facilitate drainage. A finished trail elevation of 7,481 feet would be approximately 2 fuet above the high water elevation of Lake Estes. The finished elevation of U.S. Highway 36 would increase to 7,491.35 feet at the high point, requiring raising the highway approxiniately 4.8 feet. The increase in highway elevation would be transitional over 830 feet along U.S. Highway 36 and approximately 200 feet south along Community Drive. 5-6 The second alternative is to place the underpass adjacent to Fish Creek Road. The underpass would be located to the west of the U.S. Highway 36 and Fish Creek Road intersection. An advantage of the Fish Creek Road location is that the underpass would have minimal impact on the U.S. Highway 36 roadway. However, the crossing at Fish Creek Road would not provide direct, easy access to Stanley Park and the Park R-3 School District complex. With Stanley Park and the school being a primary destination for much of the community and visiting public, unsafe pedestrian and bicycle crossings are likely to occur with increased use of the trail system as a transportation corridor. i 3.3 Hydraulics A hydraulic analysis of the existing and proposed culverts under Community Drive at Highway 36 was performed by Severin Engineering, LLC. A copy of the hydraulic analysis is i included in Appendix A. The study indicates the potential for Highway 36 to overtop under existing conditions when liydraulic flows exceed 17.6 cfs. With the proposed storm drainage improvements and regrading of Highway 36 and Community Drive the possibility of overtopping Highway 36 is non existent and flow rate would have to exceed 25.7 efs prior to Community Drive overtopping. 3.4 Proposed Trail Alignment The proposed trail alignment from the U.S. Highway 36 underpass to Brodie Avenue at the Fisli Creek Road intersection is approximately 3,soo linear feet. The alignment is shown on sheet 3 of 3 in Appendix C. The alignment is based on field observations ofprominent site features, property ownership, and the Stanley Park Master Plan. The alignment would be on Town of Estes Park and Park R-3 School District property. The trail would stay along the northern and easterly edges of Stanley Park to avoid interference with park activities. A short spur from the main trail to the playground area would be included. i From the east edge of Stanley Park the trail would cross Park R-3 School District property. The trail would hug the north and east edge of the school district property to minimize i disturbance. The trail would terminate at Brodie Avenue between Fish Creek Road and the school district vehicle maintenance facility. An easement will need to be obtained from the school district prior to construction of the trail. The proposed alignment utilizes the existing topography as best j possible in order to minimize grades and avoid wetland areas. Construction of a retaining wall will be required along a portion of the trail near the school district football field. j 4.0 TRAFFIC CONTROL During the primary portion of construction for the underpass and roadway work, complete closure of U.S. Highway 36 across the causeway will be required. During highway closure traffic will have to be detoured either around Mall Road to U.S. Highway 34 or south on Fish Creek Road to Brodie Avenue and across to Colorado Highway 7 (S. St. Vrain Avenue). 5-7 j 1. 5.0 SCHEDULING Since complete closure of the causeway will be required, construction should be scheduled during a low traffic period, avoiding the summer tourism season and special event weekends. A 60 day construction period is anticipated for the underpass and roadway work. Some of the preparatory work could be completed prior to affecting highway traffic. During the major portion of the construction period tlie highway may be reopened on weekends. Approximately two full weeks is estimated for construction of the underpass. During the underpass construction the highway would have to remain closed. Climate conditions in Estes Park do not allow asphalt placement during niuch of the fall, winter and spring. The typical window for asphait placement is May through mid October. Construction could probably not be completed in the fall in time to reasphalt U.S. Highway 36, i leaving a gravel driving surface through the winter. Spring construction would be optimal in order to schedule asphalting at the end of the construction phase and avoid the high traffic season. Construction ofthe trail system from the underpass to Brodie Avenue is virtually unrestricted by seasonal constraints. 6.0 COST The project cost for the proposed alternative is based on contractor bid cost for the U.S. Highway 36 widening in 1999, State Highway 7 widening in 1997, Colorado Department of Transportation Cost Data Book and construction cost records from the office of Cornerstone Engineering & Surveying, Inc. Quantities and costs are close approximations of each quantity and do not provide exact detail of all required work. The estimated construction cost for the highway underpass 1 witli the associated roadway and drainage work. $459,602.00 The estimated construction cost for the trail portion from the underpass to Brodic Avenue. $215,260.00 Total Estimated Construction Cost $674,862.00 Utility Relocate $ 2,000.00 Testing S 7,000.00 Engineering 18% of Estimated Construction Cost $ 123.000.00 Total Estimated Cost $806,862.00 5-8 1. Even though the unit costs are based on U.S. Highway 36, which was local to Estes Park, cost will vary based on time ofyearof construction, material availability, volume ofwork available, etc. A breakdown of the estimated quantities and cost are included in Appendix B. 1 7.0 RECOMMENDATION i The recommended alignment and elevation for the underpass is just east of Community Drive as shown on drawing 1 of 3 in Appendix C. The recommended location is dictated by the i existing topography, physical constraints, economical conditions, and access to Stanley Park and the schools. The recommended construction schedule for the underpass is during March and April. Completion of the project expected during the beginning of May as weather allows for asphalt placenlent. The alignment of the trail from the underpass to Brodic Avenue should follow the northern and eastern property lines of Stanley Park and Park R-3 School District property: This i would allow access to those facilities with as little impact to them as possible. Scheduling of the Stanley Parldschool trail is fairly independent of seasonal constraints. i 1 5-9 Bill Linnane From: Bill Linnane Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 9:28 AM To: 'Larry.Haas@DOT.STATE.CO.US' CC: Richard Widmer Subject: crosswalk signs Contacts: Larry.Haas Larry, I sent you a copy of the information on the crosswalk signs. As I mentioned on the phone, the traffic engineer in Newport says that they do help stop traffic. I sent you his name and phone number if you want to contact him. We are requesting to use them at the following crosswalks: 1) E. Elkhorn @ MacGregor Ave. 2) Moraine Ave. @ Molly B's Restaurant 3) 100 block West Elkhom @ Fall River bridge. Per your advice I removed the E. Elkhorn @ the existing pedestrian signal crossing from our request. 1 include a location map in the mail. The Town will assume responsibility for any damages as a result of vehicles hitting the signs. The Newport engineer mentioned that he is not aware of any damage claims from vehicles hitting the signs. We will have the signs replaced immediately upon damage to them. Thanks for your help. 5-10 r OWN OF ESTE5 PARK 4 1,1 -11>li~- LARIMER COUNTY, COLORADO pmc. \9:¥ -4 442 452,0- SITUATE /11- SECTIONS 19,20,29,30,31.32, TSN, R 72W, OF THE STH PM.

Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517-9931 March 8,2001 Dear Mayor Baudek: I am writing to make you aware of a traffic problem that is disturbing the peace, lowering the property values and endangering the children in my neighborhood. I live at the corner o f Brook and Avalon. Although neither Brook nor Avalon is zoned industrially, both streets get heavy industrial traffic from two companies on Fish Creek: Kearney and Fairbanks. From as early as 7am until as late as 9pm, we have 40-ton trucks driving up and down these streets, streets on which neighborhood children walk to the school bus and ride their bikes - streets on which residents are trying to live in peace and quiet. These trucks are big, loud, and offensive. It is impossible to carry on a conversation in my yard in the summer during peak construction time because it is like standing on an airport runway and trying to yell above the din of a series of landing planes. And what if one ofthose trucks were to slip out of control on a snowy day while a child happened to be walking by? Concerned about the speed and volume of both industrial and residential traffic in the neighborhood last summer, I contacted the City. Bill Linane and Randy Repola were incredibly responsive and helpful when I addressed this issue with them; no sooner had we spoken than extra police cars were patrolling the area to catch speeders and plans were in the works to install a road hump on Avalon. Since the installation of the hump, the speed of traffic on Avalon does seem to have decreased somewhat, but the volume has not. And now the large trucks apply their jerry brakes before hitting the hump, thus adding to the noise pollution. At Bill Linane's suggestion that I try to handle the situation in a "neighborly" way, I placed calls to Kearney and Fairbanks in August 2000 to discuss the situation. Fairbanks never returned my call, but Kearney did. I told him my concerns about the noise pollution and danger to our children. While he was polite, he informed me that his bottom line was profit; five minutes spent on an alternate route on the way to a j ob site is, to him, five minutes worth o f money lost. When I suggested to him that his drivers could take alternate routes in the evenings when his trucks are returning empty from job sites, he said he still wants his drivers to take the shortest possible routes. He also mentioned a couple oftimes that his drivers never use Brook, which is untrue. I have heard that, in other neighborhoods that aren't unfortunate enough to be bordered by industrial areas, garbage trucks aren't even allowed on the streets before 7:30 because this is a retirement community and people don't want their peace disrupted by loud trucks. I wonder how these people who are disturbed by the once-a-week appearance of a garbage truck would feel about having their lives disrupted every day multiple times by thundering industrial vehicles. I doubt those residents would stand for it, yet we are forced to because of the fact that the City has allowed an industrial zone to flourish in the midst of a residential area. Mayor Baudek, we need your help. We ask that you grant our request to keep these trucks off o f Avalon, thus restoring peace to our neighborhood, raising our property values back to an appropriate level, and making our streets safe for our children.

Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517-9931 March 5,2001 Dear Mayor Baudek, I spoke with Bob Joseph in August 2000 about the heavy industrial traffic in our neighborhood. We discussed the high volume of concrete trucks, back hoes, heavy equipment trailers and dump trucks travelling back and forth, six days a week, usually from before 7am until after 6pm sometimes at 9:45pm. We discussed the safety issue presented with these 40-ton trucks travelling down hill and around corners using their Jake Brakes in an area where there are at least a dozen families with children who either walk up Brook and Avalon to catch the bus or ride their bikes along these same routes after school. When I asked i f these businesses could be moved to the area o f town where the other industrial businesses were he said that these businesses had always been located on Fish Creek Road - a place that many years ago was the edge of town. He added that a recently completed rezoning plan did not scrutinize this specific zone and that this area would be difficult to relocate because of limited real estate options. The volume of construction business is many times that of what it used to be and this location is now in the middle of a main residential neighborhood. Mr. Joseph was very friendly and courteous during our conversation. Regards, -.523/4 _52*.»- Mike Schmidt April 28, 2001 To whom this may concern: This letter is written in regards to commercial traffic on Avalon Drive. I have owned a home at 1641 Avalon Drive since January 1979. When I bought my home it was a quiet residential neighborhood. Now it has become a raceway for heavy commercial trafficoof huge dump trucks and cement mixers. I can see no reason for this as the street itself is hilly and lacks good visibility. There are at least 15 young children who must walk Avalon Drive twice a day as ameans to get to and from the school bus stop at the junction of Highway 7 and Avalon. There are no sidewalks. Chil;dren are not always wise or careful, and in their playful enthusiasm I've seen them push and shove one another unintentially into the path of these heavy trucks. These trucks cannot stop on a dime!! One of these days the inevitable will happen.and a child will be hit by a truck. Why can't this naisy and dangerous traffic be directed into a less dangerous route; one with more visibility and less pedestrian traffic? The speed bumps that have been installed with the idea of slowing traffic have only added to the noise pollution in what was a quiet neighborhood. When an empty dump truck,sometimes pulling an empty trailer,hits these speed bumps the noise is horrendous and reverberates up and down the street. I ask that as a-llongtime member of this community, action be taken to return Avalon Drive to a safe and quiet neighborhood street. Thank you for your time and consideration.
