Regular Meeting Minutes May 20, 2009 4. PUBLIC COMMENT None. Page 2 5. BICYCLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE — Bill Jenkins Mark Jackson attended the Bicycle Advisory Committee meeting which was very much appreciated. Dean Klinger provided a presentation on the I-25 & SH392 intersection. This intersection is designed with two thru lanes in each direction and one turn lane. Bike accommodations? DK has written two (2) grant proposals; one for Fort Collins Bikes and one for the Bike Library. One of the questions that came up was that he is asking for x number of dollars for CMQA (Congestion, Mitigation and Air Quality). CMAQ' S is a competitive process grant application which, now goes through a hearing board, who decides the relative merits and benefits weighed against all the other applications. Competing against the entire northern region, in comparison to the past in which the City used to compete against projects only in the greater Fort Collins area. It relates to the BFO process in that there is a 17% local match provision for CMAQ. That requirement is to insure there is self interest included in any project. There will be a separate BFO offer specific to the local matching funds for CMAQ. 5. COUNCIL LIAISON REPORT Wade Troxell, Council Liaison attended to announce his departure, Ben Manvel as taking over the role of Council Liaison. 6. ACTION ITEMS None 7. DISCUSSION ITEMS a. Mountain Vista Sub -Area Plan Public comment: Mathew Majoros — I live in the Lindenmeir Lake area I spoke two meetings ago and I want to go back to one of the pieces of information I handed out. It is a simple analysis why we believe this new Mountain Vista planned road will become the truck bypass. The simple answer is that this is faster. It is faster than the existing Mulberry to Riverside to North College Route. When I think about this route I think why someone would want to go to another route that is longer. You would not; a rational person would not. That faster route does not even contemplate the two railroad crossings. The two different railroad crossings that the trucks must use on the existing route. I look at the plans with the residential communities in there and planned developments in there and the commercial development they look great, but the problem is that we have a four lane road that will effectively become a truck bypass. This road will take trucks off an industrial road Mulberry, a commercial road and Riverside which is a commercial road and places trucks on residential roads. Matt Wempe has asked us why we believe this is going to be a truck bypass. This simple analysis proves why we believe this will become a truck bypass. We have suggested tight round abouts and curvy roads and the use of more collective roads. We are hearing "NO" we want this enhanced travel corridor and we do not think truckers will use this because it is in a residential neighborhood, because it going to have divided road with trees on the side. I would like to hear tonight is to tell us why this will not be a truck route. Beth Conna — I am a neighbor in the Lindenwood Subdivision as Matthew I have the same issues. I totally understand the need for this road and I welcome the development we love living in this neighborhood and we choose it for the proximity of downtown and the things that we love about Fort Collins and we know others will too. Our concern is that we have not taken the time to flesh out and.understand the ramifications of Regular Meeting Minutes Page 3 May 20, 2009 creating this road the way it sounds it is going to be created. I need proof that this is not going to become a truck bypass. It scares me that children will be close to the road. A truck bypass would change the way we live it will change that whole part of town. A couple weeks ago when I-25 was closed but 287 remained opened. There were all these trucks were traveling on 287 it really brought it home to me how important it is that we keep Vine from becoming a truck bypass, because I couldn't even turn left onto College from Chippers. Having the trucks come off of 125 across Vine and then up to do their sprint to Wyoming will change the area we will be isolated in this corner and will not be able to get out of there. If we don't take the time now to look at all the options now it will be too late. We need to be proactive about it and we will be kicking ourselves in 10 years if we do not understand the issue before we make a decision. I want to hear how we will keep this from becoming a truck bypass. Craig Workman — I live in the Lindenwood subdivision I echo the comments of my neighbors. We are concerned and we feel that we have not been given enough information to understand what is going to be the product of this plan. We have been asking for information in regards to the traffic modeling and what they are proposing and what they are projecting and we have heard nothing from the planners. I hope tonight they shed some light on these issues it is quite concerning for those of you that live near a large street a four lane collector it is a force to be reckoned with. We are fine with streets that have automobiles on it, but not a street that will turn into a truck bypass. We are not here to make a big deal out of nothing, this is a legitimate concern. As long as the City can proof to us that they will put the measures into place to control the types of traffic that will be using Vine then we are fine with this. I just want to hear more information. We have asked a lot of questions and frankly we have not heard anything back. Brian Parcenet — I live in Lindenwood as well. It will be hard to say it differently, but perhaps I can accentuate a few points. One is that there is undeniable evidence that past City Councils and the City at large preferred not to have a truck bypass there by stated preferences. I think there is very legitimate concern that without explicit measures it will become a defacto truck bypass and the people in transportation should be able to recognize that. All we are asking is that the plan be crafted in such a way to put in place measures that guarantee this does not become a truck bypass. It is really very simple there is no larger argument than putting in guarantees that the words being put forth are legitimately followed through in a forceful way. Candace Majoros — You have heard from some of my neighbors and I want to bring up a slightly different issue. That is that we are also concerned about Conifer, according to the plan is projected to extend from it current location east it will also hook up with Timberline and then go up to Mountain Vista and I-25. This is a street that is projected to be a two lane arterial, which means that you will have a two lane arterial and a 4 lane arterial approximately 1500 feet away from each other. We have asked the question and not heard a good response to why this must be a two lane arterial, why it must extend east of Lemay, why it can't be simply a collector street. If the point of this particular street is to allow egress and ingress for the neighborhoods that will be built in this area then why can it not be a collector street? By having two major streets right next to each other it will only serve to exacerbate the issues of air pollution, noise pollution and the other issues that my neighbors have already spoken about. Chair Thomas: As I think I have told some of you already this is not an action item tonight we are simply gathering more information and we appreciate you coming here tonight to speak to us. At some point we will be making a recommendation to Council City Staff Member Matt Wempe, Transportation Planner Two things to present tonight; 1). A draft preferred plan, highlight changes to the 1999 Council adopted plan. (Attached) 2). An extensive truck bypass analysis answering questions and concerns heard tonight. Regular Meeting Minutes Page 4 May 20, 2009 Boundaries for the Mountain Vista Subarea are N. Lemay Avenue on the west; I25 on the east; Richard Lake on the north; and Vine Drive on the south. Plan includes important transportation aspects for future developments a partial realignment of Vine Drive (both plans); but proposing to modify from a planned 4 lane arterial to a 2 lane arterial. Extend Conifer east terminating at Timberline (takes into account existing high-tension power lines), Giddings Road south to Mountain Vista Drive providing connectivity to the commercial district and retaining the bow in the route to accommodate the community park alignment. Turnberry will not extend south to Vine Drive, with predicted traffic volumes; a collector road east will relieve traffic volume. The collector road is essentially built already to the Maple Hills Subdivision. The collector road allows access through the PSD site which they have acknowledged has been incorporated into their preliminary way and planning (extends down to the Moore property) provides connection to Conifer Street. Country Club Road (downgraded in the 2004 long range master plan from a minor arterial to a collector road) will extend to Giddings Road to providing another route to 125 via Mountain Vista. Many residents expressed that they do not want to lose direct access to I-25. We look for different ways to plan for a future commuter rail, Timberline and Mountain Vista are planned enhanced travel corridors (higher mobility including bikes and cars) and could provide a meaningful connection hub (station hub). The modification would be consistent with the long term intent. Another benefit, utilities such as ELCO are using existing plans for utility planning following the road alignments. Do not want to lose an opportunity at that intersection with landowners in this area supportive of higher density housing. Vine would be a thoroughfare, but would serve as a local road. Chair Thomas: Have changes in the preferred draft plan responded to the truck bypass concern? Matt Wempe: We used public input with consultant advice reiterating that we do not want this to become a truck bypass. Chair Thomas: What about the comment we heard in regards to Conifer Street. Matt Wempe: Data used in our transportation modeling indicate Conifer is accommodating 7,000 to 8,000 daily trips approximately the same usage as Vine Drive which under our city street standards should be a two lane arterial. Two lane arterials are described as two 12 foot travel lanes with a 12 foot center turning lane a bike lane, park ways and sidewalks. Remington is a good example of a 2 lane arterial. Wanting to provide a connection to the service development,'we feel that the collector level will not do that. Bill Jenkins: What would happen if you did not proceed with this preferred draft plan? Matt Wempe: The adopted plan would stay in place. The preferred draft plan is significantly less roads. We went from $147 million dollars in street construction cost to $119 million. Bill Jenkins: When I initially looked at this plan it appeared to enhance the development of Anheuser-Busch. Is that a factor based upon the economic conditions? Matt Wempe: The intent is to -create transportation improvements that can serve developments when they can occur. In the past Budweiser has sat on their property wanting to maintain a buffer. Budweiser owns about 40% of the total study area. Pete Wray: Land Use in 2009 is similar to the 1990 plan with a slight increase in the industrial plan on AB property (around the brewery) an increase of 130 acres in the employment district and an increase of 150 industrial acres. The school site is a little over 100 acres. The future community park is about 110 acres. The -commercial district anticipates 80 acres in local retail, but with new market analysis we believe we only need 25 to 35 acres for the long term city plan of a unique commercial destination, more mixed than you would typically see in a neighborhood center the remaining balance of 120 acres of low density mixed usage. Garry Steen: What is the expect speed limit on Conifer? Matt Wempe: The designed speed is 30 to 45 miles per hour. Ed Robert: Is the preferred draft plan shifting the enhance corridor from Conifer Street to Vine? Mark Jackson: The original corridor was Conifer and is now Vine. Ed Robert: On Conifer whatever you do east of Lemay will that be the same configuration west of Lemay? Matt Wempe: Theoretically we could as this would bring it up to current city standards and it is good to be consistent. Regular Meeting Minutes Page 5 May 20, 2009 Ed: Robert: On Turnberry in 1999 there were three connectivitys to the Adriel Hill areas, only one remains today it seems we are isolating them. They would have to drive two or three miles farther. I would encourage you to look into providing better access. Pete Wray: The local street network is not shown on plan. Conceivably there would be additional access points. The traffic volumes we believe are sufficient to use the collector street: For future developments that has not been determined. Matt Wempe: That is a good point we could do some more coordination with the Adriel Hills to see if they would be interested. Ed Robert: I believe Adriel Hills residents have shown some interest in a connection at Adriel Drive. Chair Thomas; Today the Lindenmeier Lake section has no connectivity except back out to Lemay. How do those decisions get made? Pete Wray: We are dealing with county developments, city developments and future city developments. Interfacing these is a challenge. There may be an opportunity at Adriel Hills to provide a stub out; typically the way the streets were aligned there wasn't an opportunity to provide a stub out. Ed Robert: I do not see a street in that area that would be sufficient to connect to anything else they are not collector streets. Matt Wempe: You are right. Those residents would have to go further than normal. Chair Thomas: Those decisions would not come up until you have actual development proposals and then there would be time for public comment. Isn't that how it works? Pete Wray: Yes. Shane Miller: Will there be a bus lane on Turnberry? Matt Wempe: In the transit strategic plan route number 8 (Vine to Lemay and over to Conifer) are included in Phase one and two. In the 3 a phase is the implementation of an enhanced travel corridor route. Transfort still showing that as Conifer, we will discuss with Transfort for maps updates showing Vine as the enhanced travel corridor. They do not go or plan to go to Turnberry. Shane Miller: So presumably that whole area would be served by a Lemay route? Matt Wempe: I believe the enhanced travel corridor would replace the number 8 route. Shane Miller: Aren't we looking to create a grid system for an efficient transit line. This plan appears to have many streets that do not go through. In terms of efficient transit I am wondering why we are moving against the tide of implementing grid based transit system if you continue to develop in a way that discourages it. Matt Wempe: The benefit of a grid system is high mobility. With having the county development, city development and future development we are trying to consider future implementation. We are trying to make sure we have that mobility. With access to College, you can get you anywhere in town, same with Timberline. I think that streets that go through can work with county roads. Shane Miller: I want to give you a little bit of feedback. When you take a bus and want to go from point A to B it takes longer and is somewhat frustrating to be going all different ways. I think that we are talking about creating a grid system so that at some point we have a transportation system that everyone can use that is designed to improve current designs. I am looking at the developed street plan and a grid system does not work well, this does not serve the idea of making the grid system efficient. From a transit stand point this may not work. Ed Robert: Phase 3 transit program uses Conifer for a bus route but needs to be moved to Vine. Matt Wempe distributed a hand out titled "Mountain Vista Sub -Are Plan Update Truck Bypass Route Analysis; Analysis Elements Summary dated May 20, 2009 (see attached) which includes a transportation context map of approximately 4 %z miles on a 127 mile route between Denver and Laramie. We are concentrating on a point to point travel route. Shane Miller: Why would truckers traveling from Cheyenne not use Mountain Vista from I-25? Mark Jackson: If they are true through trips the changing truck traffic patterns are having them use the highway system. They can run faster it does not have the congestion and they can carry heavier loads. . Access control systems are better and safer. The reason truckers may want to use SH287 is weather issues on I-80. The vast preponderance 65% to 75% of truckers we see on the Mulberry (SH14) corridor are serving mid -town or downtown. Delivery's in the local area need to be on that route. Shane Miller: Isn't there an incentive for Budweiser to use Vine Drive? Regular Meeting Minutes Page 6 May 20, 2009 Matt Wempe: We addressed that with weight load limits. Shane Miller: Is the demand for trucks to move from 125 to College is that based on actual trips or on modeling. Do we have numbers on what this would look like in terms of traffic? Mark Jackson: Actual trips counted in 2000 and 2003 and direct outreach to truck drivers. It might be because they are paid by the mile or they are directed by a dispatcher. We have past trend analysis the modeling provides a sensitivity analysis of what it would look like when developed. We have numbers in archives. Matt Wempe: Analysis includes distance comparison, speed limit analysis, travel time analysis, Weight limits, access control. There will be a Public Open house in June, a Boards and Commission Review. There is a City Council Work Session scheduled on June 9th. The Transportation Board Recommendation is due June 17th. Planning and Zoning hearing is scheduled on June 18th and City Council adoption consideration on July 7 h Ed Robert: With the weight limits what percentage of long haul vehicles would be eliminated? Matt Wempe: We are trying to work with the trucking industry to get these numbers. Shane Miller: Have we ever measured how many trucks from the North have used existing facilities. Mark Jackson: We have it. Shane Miller: Let say we determined that truckers were using Mountain Vista as a defacto truck bypass. What would we do at that point to stop it? Matt Wempe: It is conceivable if we provide a route through town we could outright ban truck traffic, but it would have to be applied uniformly and structural weight limitations. Sara Frazier: Are short haulers going to be the greater problem? Matt Wempe: Yes the greater percentage of truck traffic is for local purpose. Shane Miller: Does anyone know of a municipality that has been successful in not allowing a road from becoming a truck route? Matt Wempe: Road design, posted speed limits, weight, route less direct. Chair Thomas: I personally have not heard any reasons this would not become a truck route. b. Alley Project— Anne Aspen, Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Craig Russell and Paul Mills from Russell+Mills Studios Presented the 2009 Boards and Commission update of the downtown alley plans. DDA initiated projects after 2004 strategic plan recommendations and bolstered by UniverCity. DDA saw this as an opportunity and piloted the Tremble Court project which saw a 60% increase in revenues and the Tenney Court alleyway which also saw benefits. DDA has initiated master plan for the entire downtown area. (14 alleys identified with 3 designated high priority) construction to begin in the first quarter of 2010. No action is needed on the part of the transportation board wanted provide information supply input. This is a follow up presentation. The alleyways are designed to be an integrated system from CSU to the Riverwalk area to create movement through the area and support the local business. This will help improving existing right of ways have proven that as alleys are constructed through time these right of ways spur private investments. The alleys will be pedestrian focused with parking on Oak Street creating a connection from Old Town Square. Opportunity at critical points for shared services (fewer dumpsters) and parking which encourages pedestrian traffic, and activates another access point in the rear of the building. A traffic study has supported one way vehicular access except at Laurel and College due to density. , Drainage issues and lighting are several items that must be solved to evolve into pedestrian usage spaces. This is a long term process. c. North College Improvement. Project —Jennifer Petrik, Transportation Planner Regular Meeting Minutes Page 7 May 20, 2009 Phase II is on schedule, the conceptual decision began March 2009 will go through August and then moves to preliminary and final engineering scheduled from August to March 2010, right of way acquisition is scheduled from March 2010 until December 2010, with final construction in 2011. Public involvement includes working with, North Fort Collins Business Association (NFCBA), Community Open Houses, Design Workshop, City Council, Transportation Board, Bicycle Advisory Committee, the Planning & Zoning Board, and local business and property owners. The project goal is to have construction begin in 2011 creating a safe and effective travel corridor, supporting the economic viability in the project area, upgrade North College image, and maintain compatibility to the existing facilities in the area. At the end of the conceptual period there will be a phased in implementation. Some of the project constraints include adherence to the BOB ballot language which includes bringing the sidewalks up to arterial standards from Vine to Conifer; adding curb and gutters, addition of bike lanes and also adhering to the federal funds language defining improvements completion by July 09. Right of way transactions must be completed by December 2010 in order to stay on schedule. College as a State Highway contains certain constraints with large truck usage. The access management plan includes short term and long term improvements. Poudre river floodway is south of the project and must fulfill all state water quality requirements. The implementation plan has a conceptual design and a fiscally constrained design, meaning what we can build with the funds we have now. As funds become available target funds toward mixed integrated construction until the corridor is completed. We have $5.6 million dollars of secured funds for the project at this time, with a funding gap of $7.4 to $11.4 million dollars. We are applying for some funds from the MPO. Accident Reports for this area are a total of 132, 7.6% are bike accidents, rear end collisions are the most prevalent. Safety is a high priority item, safety for bikes and pedestrian. From the design workshop which was community design some of the highlights included alley connections, off street versus on street bike lanes, off street parking options, higher density zoning, and park options. At the open house on May 2151 will present 3 alternative designs: 151 option (Larimer County Street Options), 2"d intermediate option narrower sidewalks with larger bike lane and the 3 d minimum option (narrower sidewalks and narrower bike lanes). Elements used in the design were sidewalk, bike and pedestrian options. Shane Miller: The idea of moving bike lanes adjacent to the street would that include raising bike lanes? Jenny Petrik: The bike path would be level with the sidewalk. Ed Roberts: Bike lanes on streets would encourage riders to just use pedestrian sidewalks. Garry Steen: I would like to place a preference for bike and pedestrian shared lanes away from traffic. Kip McCauley: Can you provide the breakdown of users? Jenny Petrik: Kip McCauley: Will the Hickory spur be tied into the development in anyway? Jenny Petrik: This has been asked in other discussions, but BOB states what we will work towards. Garry Steen: Have you looked at the costs of the different options? Jenny Petrik: Not at this time. Bill Jenkins: How do you determine existing traffic and projected future traffic volumes? Mark Jackson: This is based on forecast bands of local traffic, travel demand models and compare with the CDOT model. A capital city index traffic study is being done and will become the standard on all projects. The website is www.fcaov.com/northcollege 8. STAFF REPORTS —Mark Jackson - Transportation Group Director Regular Meeting Minutes Page 8 May 20, 2009 a. BFO Update — The gravity of the economic situation are beginning to seep into other Departments. Even those with money will not continue business as usual. There will be some real hits to the community in terms of service. Staff is currently writing offers — which can be directed to any of 7 results and then the results team rate the offers. We do not have allocations yet and do not know how much is going into each of the 7 results. We have not received any indications that transportation will receive any additional help in funds. Funding gap will grows to about $5.6 million in 2010 and $5.1 hmillion in 2011. The deadline to submit offers is June 5`n Chair Thomas: We wrote to council suggested transportation get a higher allocation. Mayor met with him and said that he was not supportive of this. Promised money will not occur. At next Tuesday's work session being held at The Lincoln Center, City staff will present to Council. The City Manager will present an initial recommended budget in late summer with a real push to prioritize and focus on basic service. Council will adopt the budget in November. In 2009 transportation faces a budget reduction scenario of $4.7 million in shortfall. We plan on solving it with prorated income from FASTER (parceled out to local communities in a12 year cycle) $200,000.00 expected for 2009. All vacancies are frozen brought us savings of $800,000.00. We can use $500,000.00 one time from the general fund. Operations has a reserved fund of $110,000.00. We will use $720,000.00 of funds dedicated to Harmony Road maintenance. No other options and the rest are service reductions with internal cuts (always the low hanging fruit). In 2008 and 2009 expenses have already been cut. More charging to projects where possible and we might delay projects. Service contracts will see reductions, the Parking Service group will not allow any waivers. Big ticket purchases are being delayed or canceled including capital equipment replacements. Weeds on shoulder of roads will not be removed. I A broken snow plow cannot be replaced, so the Street Superintendent may redistrict snowplowing. Level 3 streets may not be plowed next year; they may not deploy as often or use as much material. Bike lanes will be swept 2 instead of 4 x/year. We are pulling back by 5% on pavement management issues. Street painting will decrease. The next cycle will probably be greater. There will be reduction in force (RIF) in transportation. Full time employee RIF announcements are occurring in June. If funding cuts need to go deeper there will be cuts in community services. Ed Roberts: What if we see revenues increase. Will we just begin adding the services back in? Mark Jackson: Discussion would begin regarding new funding resources. Bill Jenkins: If fewer miles are traveled wouldn't that mean less maintenance? Mark Jackson: This might extend the time line, but weather plays a role. Freight traffic is up, individual car habits are down. Shane Miller: According to our new council liaison (Ben Manvel) deterioration of road is not linear. Is there a function to measure? Could we improve #2 in our mission statement? If we could achieve that what would the cost benefit be? Mark Jackson: I can bring Ericka in to do a primer. The Council places a high value on sustainability and environmental footprints. What happens if we effectuate a change in driving habits? 9. BOARD MEMBER REPORT Sid Simonson: CSU police review board does not waive tickets. Could the speed limits on street showing how fast you are going include what the speed limit is; i.e., You are traveling _ mph the speed limit is _. Late CSU buses will be covered by ASCSU. Special Note: Regular Meeting Minutes May 20, 2009 Page 9 On Saturday May 16, 2009, Sid Simonson became a college graduate, graduating 1 out of 456 and is the recipient of the "Albert C. Yates Student Leadership Award." The award recognizes a student whose leadership, academic achievement, community service and commitment to excellence have significantly contributed to the success of Colorado State University., Sara Frazier: UCC held discussion of one way changing to two way street at the corner of Cherry and Mason with lots of traffic and bikes. It is not easy to maneuver, is there a choice for traffic light or pedestrian light? Mark Jackson: We have been approached by Embrace Colorado to review land use and transportation planning on a regional level. They will be presenting to Council in early July. In July the Transportation Board will meet at the Fort Collins/Loveland Airport. Dave Gordon, Airport Manager will give a tour. Mark will speak with public works director Loveland and Mike Freeman have them speak to the transportation board Good news items -- Project requests from Congresswoman Betsy Markey include a list of 10 for Northern Colorado with 2 projects benefiting Fort Collins. Intersection improvements at HWY 392 and I25 and a significant amount for Transfort. Remaining balance of funds for the Mason corridor is included in the new federal budget $54 million. The Harmony improvement district is 3/4 way completed, total completion expected in August. Spot improvements will occur on W Drake Rd football traffic will benefit. 10. OTHER BUSINESS None. 11. ADJOURN The meeting adjourned at 8:48 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Christine Macrina Executive Administrative Assistant City Manager's Office for Polly Bennett Executive Administrative Assistant Planning, Development & Transportation
