VIII. North College Improvement Project
Kathleen Reavis, from the city's Transportation Department, brought the North College Improvement Project
to the board in September 2001. Ms. Reavis updated the board today on changes that have occurred since
that meeting. Major changes to the project include the elimination of the additional lane due to railroad
regulations. Bicycles need to cross the rail tracks at a 90-degree angle and the crossing arms would need to
be enlarged to accommodate the additional lane. The railroad changes proved to be prohibitively expensive.
In addition, construction will start immediately after the conceptual design is complete this year.
Transportation has identified two possible locations for a gateway piece; the NW corner of Cherry and
College has space remaining for a gateway as well as the area just south of the Poudre Bridge. The
Landmark Preservation Committee has concerns about the location by the bridge. The LPC would prefer that
nothing be placed in front of the old power plant. The LPC is interested in renovating the old grotto on that
site. This land is owned by the city and leased to CSU.
IX. Staff Reports
Ms. Martin distributed a written report of staff activities since last month's board meeting.
X. Other business
Mr. Howe attended the Boards and Commissions Training Session. He reported to the board and suggested
that a city legal representative speak to the board in a subsequent meeting.
XI. Adjournment 5:40 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
