Memorandum
To: Mayor Hutchinson and City Council Members
From: Economic Advisory Commission (EAC)
Christophe Febvre, Chair
CC: Darin Atteberry, City Manager
Mike Freeman, Chief Financial Officer
Date: December 28, 2010
Subject: Recommendation on Gateway Standards
The Economic Advisory Commission (EAC) has had discussions during the course of several
meetings about the opportunity for positive economic impact from the I-25 corridor. The EAC
feels signage would have a positive economic impact on the City of Fort Collins by bringing in
additional traffic that might otherwise bypass the City for lack of awareness.
The EAC, by unanimous approval (six in favor, three absent), makes the following
recommendation to City Council:
The Economic Advisory Commission (EAC) recommends to City Council that one or more
signs be placed along I-25 welcoming visitors to Fort Collins, and that this be integrated
with the proposed Gateway Standards.
