One objective set by the Town Board for improvement is transportation signage. Stan Black suggested
that since this is currently a Town priority, the TAC could support this project with a cohesive effort as
a committee to move it forward. Scott Zurn suggested that major signage expenditures may be ill‐
timed with changes potentially brought on by the FLAP grant. The board decided to table the
discussion on signage until they could work with future changes brought about by the highway reroute.
It was also suggested that electronic alternatives for information distribution be investigated, such as
smartphone and tablet apps to replace roadway signage.
Parking was another topic of discussion as a top project for the committee. Ideas for how to encourage
and incentivize downtown employees to park in satellite lots and use free transit were deliberated.
PARKING STRUCTURE DESIGN CHARRETTE
Scott Zurn invited all TAC committee members to join and participate in the parking structure design
charrette, to be held on September 4th, 5th and 6th in the Estes Park Museum meeting room. TAC
members who participate will be in the mix with the consultant, at the table driving design of the
project. As the transportation advisory committee to the Town Board, it will be important that the TAC
has a voice in the design phase of the project.
Kimberly Campbell adjourned the meeting at 1:58 p.m.
