Barry Lawson, Youth Center Director RE: Director's Report for May, 1996 The end of May also means the end of our first school year r of operating the Youth Center. The May statistics show our average holding at about 22.5 per day. No real changes in the patterns we have discussed previously. About 70% of the traffic in May was from 7th and 8th grades and was split 61% male, 39% female. We are seeing more of the fifth grade students and, during the last weeks of May, fewer of the seniors. We conducted 15 programs in May (1 every 1.5 days) with an average attendance of 8 per program (117 total attendance). The figures for the end of our first school year of operation are quite respectable! During our first 178 days of service we had a total 4,826 visits averaging 27.1 per day. Our biggest single event was the Toadphlax concert on February 3. The 8th grade represented 1,360 of those visits, followed by 7th grade (1,099) . We provided a total of 73 different programs· (1 every 2.41 days of operation) to a total of 874 youth ( an average of 12 per program). The volunteer training class that was postponed in early May has been rescheduled to Monday June 17th. Announcements have been run in the trail Gazette and on KRKI. We also sent out approximately 35 letters to individuals who had expressed interest in volunteer training or who had been identified as possible recruits. As of today we have 6 individuals who have committed to being here for tra-ining. The Youth Center also hosted a two day Baseline I class for adults during May. The turnout was good, with 13 adults going through the process. The Baseline class was sponsored and financed by PaCK. We hope to be able to offer this program again as part of our commitment to the Baseline training program for all ages. The Youth Center was closed on the Friday evening and Saturday afternoon that Baseline was held, but in Friday evening

VIEWS OF ESTES WITH INTRODUCTORY MUSIC Room 203, Intro by Host "Hello, I'm Officer Eric Rose of the Estes Park Police Department - Welcome. During this segment, you will be introduced to Chief Randy Repola (particulars). Also, I will talk to Officer Robert Schumaker (particulars) about the new bicycle enforcement program and finally about safety concerns that will effect you when visiting the downtown area." Interview with Chief Repola - Outdoors - Topics: New Parking Programs Auxiliary Offi cers (Summer) Duties Visitor Information Emergency Service Access Riverwalk Views Outdoor interview with Officer Schumaker - Topics: Bicycle Enforcement Crime Prevention Bike Patrol - Accessibility to LE on Bikes Duties - Downtown Host dialogue with streets and peds in background. "Whether you are a resident or a visitor to our beautiful Town of Estes Park, you are familiar with the large number of people who gather in and around the downtown area. I would like to discuss a few safety tipS for pedestrians and motorists to make your experience here more safe and enjoyable. During our peak visitor season, we will have auxiliary officers stationed at intersections to assist street crossings and general traffic control. Watch for these officers dressed in white shirts and blue shorts. They can assist you in a number of ways; directions to area businesses, parking suggestions, and if need be, they can contact emergency services for medical or police matters. Another great resource, the Chamber of Commerce is located on Hwy 34 directly across from lower Stanley Village. The staff will be delighted to answer any questions you might have concerning activities about the Town or the surrounding areas. There are two major intersections that handle the majority of pedestrian traffic; Elkhorn Ave. at E Riverside and Elkhorn Ave. at Moraine Ave. Additionally, there is a lighted crosswalk for pedestrian traffic to and from the Municipal parking area next to the library. When using the crosswalks, if controlled or not, always remember to use the left-right-left rule before committing yourself to the roadway. Sometimes looking both ways is not enough! With all the activities in the downtown, area motorists and pedestrians are easily distracted so take a few
extra seconds to make sure you have a safe, clear path before you cross the street. The controlled intersections have walk and no walk signs that allow for standard corner to corner crossing as well as diagonal crossings. Depending on your destination, you can utilize the diagonal crossing at the same time people are crossing corner to corner. If you watch for the white walk symbol or listen to the auxiliary officers, you will have adequate time to cross the street, As all old towns of the West, Estes Park was traditionally built for horse and carriage travel with the businesses built close to the roadway for convenience. This leaves very little room for mistakes if you are on foot or in a vehicle. Keep a safe distance from the curb when waiting to cross the street. This holds especially true for Moms and Dads with baby strollers! You should maintain a safe distance from the curb (minimum three feet) in case a car or truck or large delivery vehicle turns too sharp, possibly causing an accident. Closing Thank you for watching our program, have a safe and enjoyable stay while you are here in Estes Park. Remember, be responsible, buckle up everyone in your vehicle, obey all traffic controls and drive defensively! The life you save is priceless!"
