7.NEW BUSINESS
a.North Front Range MPO, 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (Alex Gordon)
Alex Gordon, North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO)
Transportation Planner, discussed the boundaries of the MPO and its purpose to
work with the elected officials, planning and transit staff within those boundaries to
create a cohesive regional transportation plan and priorities. He noted the MPO is
required to consider the entire multi-modal transportation system.
Mr. Gordon discussed the Regional Transportation Plan which is updated every four
years. He stated a major part of the effort has been looking at regional corridors,
including all interstates, U.S. highways, and state highways. He also discussed the
regional transit corridors and regional active transportation corridors.
Mr. Gordon outlined two formerly separate plans that will now be included in the
Regional Transportation Plan: the Systems Performance Report which involves
setting targets for federal performance measures such as safety, infrastructure,
transit asset management, and transit safety, and the Greenhouse Gas
Transportation Report which included four major recommendations including
investment in transportation demand management, additional transit, additional bike
and pedestrian infrastructure, and signal optimization.
Mr. Gordon noted the 2050 Plan needs to be adopted by September of 2023 and he
outlined the timeline for various aspects of the process. He specifically commented
on outreach efforts including an online map that allows for input on specific corridors
or general input.
Chair Brown asked if the online survey is available in multiple languages. Mr. Gordon
replied it is not currently; however, if a request was received, it would be made
available.
Hart commented on the Poudre Trail connection at I-25 noting it has been in progress
for some time. He asked what needs to be done to complete the connection. Mr.
Gordon replied Larimer County, Timnath, and Windsor received a GoCo grant for the
east side of I-25 and that portion should be complete by the summer. The section
under I-25 will be completed when the highway is completed, which should be later
this year or early next year. One of the last two sections should be complete later
this year and one may involve a temporary solution until a property issue can be

resolved.
Gavaldon stated multiple languages should be available for the online mapping tool
without someone having to request it. Mr. Gordon replied it has been considered.
Gavaldon encouraged the MPO to make it a high priority.
Gavaldon asked if it is within the purview of the MPO to consider pedestrian
overpasses on Harmony. Mr. Gordon replied that is a project Fort Collins has applied
for a few times and it could be considered as part of the safety component of the
Regional Transportation Plan.
Blochowiak stated the project to create an underpass for the Power Line Trail is
already in the works. Gavaldon stated he believes that is a $10 million project and he
would like to see other more fiscally conservative options. He asked if there might be
funding or grants available from the MPO. Mr. Gordon replied the project does rank
well in terms of safety; however, it does not in terms of cost effectiveness. He noted
Fort Collins has received about $8.2 million total from the MPO.
Burtis asked how the MPO coordinates with state, regional, and local transportation
authorities and whether the Regional Transportation Plan is binding. Mr. Gordon
replied the MPO exists because of federal regulation and part of its charge is to work
with transit agencies and the state. He stated the MPO wants the Regional Plan to
be achievable; therefore, the projects included in the Plan come from the
communities themselves to help build on the local plans and priorities. He
specifically discussed the West Elizabeth project and its inclusion in the Regional
Plan.
Burtis asked how bike, bus, and train infrastructure costs compare to car-focused
infrastructure costs. Mr. Gordon replied he does not have exact numbers; however,
he stated there is more incentive to build bike and pedestrian infrastructure
particularly given the area’s non-attainment status which requires ozone and
greenhouse gas reduction.
Burtis asked if there will be any type of community participation for the service
development plan for front range rail. Mr. Gordon replied the plan is caught in some
bureaucracy; however, as of last year, there is now a Front Range Passenger Rail
District which is looking at the plan.
Vice Chair Peyronnin commented on the benefits of rail but expressed concern about
utilizing existing rail lines given delays that can be caused by freight trains.
Gavaldon commented on the benefits of rail service.
Mr. Gordon asked what concerns the group has regarding the regional corridors.
Chair Brown stated she would utilize train service; however, she agreed utilizing
freight train lines could be problematic.

3 /1 5 /2023 – MINUTES Page 4
Hart commented on an experience riding the Poudre Express bus and suggested the
MPO could help facilitate better communication between the construction work on I-
25 and the regional transportation providers.
Burtis commented on the need to make corridors in Fort Collins and Loveland safer in
order to encourage bicycling as a way to commute.
8.BOARD MEMBER REPORTS
Gavaldon reported on the need for having patience while crossing roadways on bicycles.
He commented on the need for additional cyclist education. He reported Raising Cane’s
will no longer be going in on North College and expressed concern about the traffic stacking
at its South College location.
Hart reported he recently witnessed snowplows deliberately clearing bike lanes. He stated
some debris is still present; however, he was glad to see the plowing occurring. He
suggested customers not patronize businesses that present traffic stacking concerns.
Burtis commended having the ability to take a carless trip to the Denver airport. He also
commented on dangerous right turns on red lights being allowed in Old Town. Rachline
noted that movement is technically not allowed at Mountain and College. Geary noted the
Active Modes Plan includes a recommendation to look at more locations where prohibiting
right turns on red could be effective.
Gavaldon suggested left turns should not be allowed at Mountain and College stating the
back-ups create a hazardous situation. Geary replied she would pass on that suggestion
and also noted incorporating right turn on red restrictions is also part of the Vision Zero
Action Plan.
Rachline requested the Board receive a presentation on vehicle miles travelled statistics
and whether compliance with the Climate Action Plan is actually occurring. She also
requested more detailed information on the 15-Minute City plan.
Dyrdahl reported on bike paths in Dubai and alternative modes of transportation in Middle
East countries.
Vice Chair Peyronnin commented on the need to promote bells as a way to alert bikers of
passing riders as they are easier to hear. He also reported on attending the railroad
meeting and being skeptical of the funding being present to continue the project all the way
to northern Colorado.
Rachline commented on the need for additional Bustang and Flex service.
Hart commented on the appropriate ways to audibly announce a passing move on trails
noting people should announce themselves early and consider making a friendly comment
when passing to help alleviate startling people.
Chair Brown commented on her experience on the trails noting most people do not

TYPE OF MEETING – REGULAR
3 /1 5 /2023 – MINUTES Page 5
announce passing at all.
Vice Chair Peyronnin commented on the possibility of promoting bell use through
giveaways and as part of education efforts.
Burtis stated Bustang is expanding its service over the next three years.
Chair Brown asked about the City’s safe cyclist program. Geary replied she would share a
link for the current classes.
Blochowiak noted there will be a great deal of federal funding available soon for
infrastructure projects, including transportation. She stated there is a lot of discussion
around new programs to fund new ways of designing, planning, and constructing the
transportation system and using the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process as
a leverage point for that.
Chair Brown reported on a small crash that occurred with her son’s school bus and credited
Transfort with its quick response.
9.OTHER BUSINESS

Geary noted the last BAC meeting was the joint meeting with the Transportation
Board.
b.City Council 6-Month Calendar Review
Geary highlighted upcoming Council topics including the Vision Zero Action Plan, Land
Use Code changes, and the Timberline/Mulberry/Lincoln intersection project. Gavaldon

INFRASTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT (CAPITAL):Critical maintenance or repair of existing assets; can
also include strategic changes to existing parks or recreation facilities and design elements
Replacements, like replacements of courts or playgrounds, typically require one-time funding and are not likely
to increase annual operations and maintenance costs.
