DEAR POUDRE LIBRARIES COMMUNITIES,
2022 was a year of discovery, exploration, and reemergence for Poudre Libraries. My first day as Executive Director was
January 4, 2022—right as COVID rates began to spike—which resulted in canceling in-person programs and struggles
to have enough healthy staff to keep our building open to the public. Over the course of the year, we were able to
cautiously build back our programs, staffing levels, open hours, and to expand our outreach services. I am so grateful to
the library staff across the District for remaining committed to serve our community despite the many challenges we
faced over the past few years. They found innovative ways to reach out and connect individuals with the knowledge,
resources, inspiration, and opportunities that we are here to provide.
The big accomplishment of 2022 was creating a new strategic plan that will guide our work for the next three years.
The plan was grounded in the information we gathered through a series of community conversations that we
conducted over the summer. Through these interactive discussions that asked participants to reflect on their hopes,
dreams, and desires for the community, we were able to hone in on seven themes that will serve to inspire how and
what we do:
Kindness, respect, welcoming
Equity, diversity, inclusion
Safe, healthy, low crime
Affordable, accessible housing,
managed growth
Environment, sustainability, climate awareness
Education, learning, innovation
Arts, culture, entertainment
I hope you see your own priorities reflected in these and encourage you to explore the many ways Poudre Library
creates opportunities and builds connections to strengthen our community.
Sincerely,
Diane Lapierre, executive director

IN 2022, as the community continued to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, Poudre Libraries was open and resuming
full library services. We saw library use return to near pre-pandemic levels, boosted by exciting new programs and services
designed around social connection and changing community needs.
In April, Poudre Libraries launched its Community Conversations project based on the Harwood Institute for Public
Innovation’s “Turn Outward” model. The project aimed to gather, analyze, and share citizen input about our community’s
future while also informing the Library’s 2023-2025 strategic plan. We heard from more than 800 people about their hopes,
dreams, and aspirations for our community. Community members also shared ideas for ways to strengthen the community
and expand library services. A public report of the Community Conversations findings is available online.
The Library’s new strategic plan sets priorities for library services over the next three years. By focusing on three strategic
areas of service, Poudre Libraries will be in the best position to meet the needs of a growing and changing community:
(1) Welcoming Spaces, (2) Intentional Partnerships, and (3) Dynamic Services. An overview of the 2023-2025 Strategic Plan
focus areas, goals, and initiatives is available at PoudreLibraries.org/about/plans.
WELCOMING SPACES
We continue to invest in inclusive and accessible libraries, including re-balancing and improving our libraries’ interiors to
provide expanded spaces for people and programs.
In February, OLD TOWN LIBRARY celebrated a large renovation that extended into many areas of the building, from the
lobby book displays and customer service desks to the second floor open layout and community spaces. The Library also
received a new roof in 2022.
COUNCIL TREE LIBRARY’S updated interior has new carpeting and new furniture for its seating areas. The library’s Teen
area got a face lift with flexible, mobile shelving that can be rearranged to accommodate teen programs and services. The
Children’s area added more box bins to showcase its collection.
WELCOMING EVERYONE
We worked to expand the scope of our programs and services to build more inclusive opportunities for library users to learn,
grow, and connect. We also looked internally to improve equity and inclusion for library staff. A newly-created EDI Coordinator
position and EDI team will guide our ongoing efforts.

Bilingual Storytimes at Harmony Library
Spanish-language computer classes
INTENTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
Poudre Libraries and partnerships go together like kids and storytimes. In 2022, we strengthened many of our long-time
community partnerships by working together in innovative ways, and we established new partnerships to offer additional
learning opportunities and access to resources.
PROMOTING EARLY LITERACY
We collaborated with United Way of Larimer County to launch Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for county residents. UWLC
led the effort which included Poudre Libraries, Loveland Public Library, Wellington Library, and Estes Valley Library. By the end
of 2022, nearly 5,000 children had registered for the program.
CHAMPIONING DEMOCRACY
The Library District is uniquely positioned to be a community platform for civic discourse and a champion of democracy.
In March, we joined the Deliberative Journalism Project led by Colorado State University’s Center for Public Deliberation.
The project’s goal is to spark public discourse on key topics affecting the local community and, by extension, revitalize local
journalism. In September, the DJP launched its “The Scoop” discussion series at Old Town Library.
For two days in November, Council Tree Library served as an active voting site for Larimer County Elections. The voting site
saw more than 1,400 people cast a ballot for local and state elections.
ENABLING SECOND CHANCES
We established a new partnership with the Colorado Public Defender’s Office to host a Warrant Clearance Event and
Community Resource Fair at Old Town Library. The event helped 71 people clear more than 125 low-level, non-violent warrants.
The Larimer County District Attorney, Chief Judge, Director of Criminal Justice Services, the Fort Collins Municipal Court, and
other local agencies joined us in this effort.

DYNAMIC SERVICES
As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic diminished in early 2022, the Library restarted in-person programs, reopened large
meeting room reservations for the public, and extended weekend hours at Council Tree Library to meet community demand.
We were also able to pursue exciting new initiatives.
BRINGING THE LIBRARY TO YOU
One of the biggest and most exciting projects to launch in 2022 was the purchase and up-fitting of our new COMMUNITY
OUTREACH ELECTRIC VAN. The eVan, named Evie, will expand delivery of essential library services to more remote locations,
under-resourced communities, and individuals who are unable to access library buildings. Grant funding for Evie came from
Bohemian Foundation, Larimer County, and the City of Fort Collins. The eVan is scheduled to debut in April 2023.
The Homebound delivery team added more volunteers to expand the number of individuals they can serve each month with
a goal of doubling the number of participants in 2023. Homebound services are available for people with physical limitations
due to age, illness, accident, or disabilities that keep them from visiting the library in person.
The Book Bike team received the 2022 Community Impact Award from the Association of Bookmobiles and Outreach Services
for their community programs and services. From June to September, staff on our electric book bike traveled more than 70
miles to deliver 22 programs for kids, teens, and adults. Storytimes remain the most popular book bike programs: we shared
102 stories and 136 songs in local parks, natural areas, Old Town Square, and other community locations.
BUILDING CONNECTIONS
By building connections for people through our programs and services, we can help people feel valued, connected, and
grounded within their community and within the Library. Our programs created and strengthened personal connections
among participants around shared interests.

August 22, 2023
WORK SESSION AGENDA
ITEM SUMMARY
City Council
STAFF
Noah Beals, Development Review Manager
Paul Sizemore, Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director
SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION
Land Use Code Extended Discussion.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this work session is to seek feedback from Council regarding potential alternatives for
Land Use Code (LUC) housing-related changes and to seek guidance on next steps on other portions of
the code. This work session focuses on the key topic areas presented to Council at the July 31 work
session and explores in more detail information related to 8 of the 33 alternatives presented last month.
Other changes to the existing LUC (e.g., code reorganization, increasing graphic representations,
clarifying language and rules of measurement) will also be brought forward for Council consideration .
GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
1. How should the alternatives appear in the draft ordinance of the Land Use Code?
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Following the submission and certification of a petition sufficient for referendum, Council reconsidered
Ordinance No. 114, 2023 at the Regular Meeting on January 17, 2023. Council voted unanimously (7-0)
to repeal Ordinance No. 114, 2022, Repealing and Reenacting Section 29-1 of the Code of the City of Fort
Collins Code to Adopt the Land Development Code and Separately Codifying the 1997 Land Use Code As
“Transitional Land Use Regulations”. Council directed staff to explore next steps to allow for additional
community engagement and refinement of housing-related Land Use Code (LUC) changes.
Recent Council Communication and Community Engagement
A Work Session Summary was provided to Council in the weekly packet on August 10th, which included
a review of specific Council feedback provided at the July 31 work session based on the 33 potential code
alternatives discussed.
In addition, three memos were sent out prior to the July work session provided to City Council:
1. Discussion of engagement events held between March and June and a summary of community
feedback received throughout.
Page 37
Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 2 of 15
2. Discussion of potential code alternatives, the purpose of those alternatives and the framework used to
evaluate them.
3. Information about Inclusionary Housing Ordinances (IHO) and policy implications for Fort Collins.
Community Participation to Date:
Potential changes to the LUC have resulted in robust community dialogue and many comments shared
with City Leaders and staff. Between March and June 2023, staff engaged with hundreds of residents
through online comments, virtual engagement opportunities, and in-person events, including the August
9th open house event and board exhibit on August 9th. Feedback was also collected at P&Z work sessions.
Feedback received most recently includes the following topics:
General questions on timeline and feedback received to date.
Concern that ADUs will have negative impacts in neighborhoods within the Residential, Low Density
(RL) zone district.
Comments in support of ADUs as a viable housing option.
In the NCL and NCM the allowance of ADUs should require owner-occupancy either in the ADU or
primary home.
Cottage Courts in the NCM is a change in character.
Concerns that incentives to allow 5 units in the NCM will result in removing existing housing and a
change in neighborhood character.
Questions as to whether the community’s involvement in the Development Review process will change
in the future.
Exploration of Polarities and Council Direction for Code Drafting:
At the May 23 Council work session, staff presented an approach to potential code alternatives using a
quadrant framework that highlighted the spectrum of options for code revisions and the potential trade-
offs. At that work session, Council feedback generally focused within the right, upper-hand quadrant:
Page 38
Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 3 of 15
Given the feedback from the Work Session, staff formulated potential code alternatives informed by
community feedback that address housing capacity while emphasizing existing neighborhood character.
Review Five Guiding Principles
Revisions to the code continue to support the five guiding principles confirmed by City Council in
November 2021 and re-affirmed by a majority of Councilmembers at a work session in February 2023.
While the potential code alternatives outlined within this AIS continue to advance each of the guiding
principles, they focus specifically on those highlighted below. The potential alternatives outlined in this AIS
also attempt to incorporate feedback heard through community engagement regarding neighborhood
character and stability with the advancement of these principles:
1. Increase overall housing capacity (market rate and affordable) and calibrate market-feasible
incentives for deed-restricted affordable housing.
2. Enable more affordability, especially near high frequency transit and growth areas.
3. Allow for more diverse housing choices that fit in with the existing context.
4. Make the code easier to use and understand.
5. Improve predictability of the development review process, especially for housing.
Principle Number One: Increase Overall Housing Capacity
At the July 31 work session, several Councilmembers asked how the community’s housing capacity would
be impacted by the proposed alternatives. Staff worked with the project consulting team to update the
housing capacity numbers based on the 33 proposed alternatives discussed at the July work session.
Using the assumptions from the repealed code, the original total housing capacity change was an increase
of 53% from the existing code to the repealed code and a 63% increase in the housing capacity in transit
corridors. Using the assumptions from the proposed alternatives, total housing capacity would increase by
52% and housing capacity in transit corridors would increase by 61% between the existing code and the
potential new code. Below is the original capacity analysis based on the repealed Land Development Code,
followed by an updated illustration of the housing capacity numbers:
Page 39
Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 4 of 15
Across the community, much of the zoned residential land only permits housing types that are more
expensive to build, purchase, or rent. While density is not necessarily a predictor of affordability, allowing
additional types of housing and more housing units per acre can help to mitigate some of the high cost of
land by spreading the cost to build over a larger number of housing units.
Demand for housing already exceeds existing supply and is anticipated to exceed the city’s zoned capacity
by around 2,000 units given 2040 population estimates.
The potential alternatives explored below represent an attempt to address both the desire for increased
housing capacity and community feedback that the repealed code allowed for too much density, especially
in neighborhoods predominantly comprising single-unit, detached houses.
Summary of Changes
The alternatives being discussed tonight are only a portion of the complete Land Use Code Housing
Update (Phase 1). Other proposed changes include:
The creation of building types that describe in detail the form of permitted housing options
Increase of maximum density in the LMN Zone from 9 to 12 dwelling units per acre
Density incentive for Affordable Housing Development in the LMN, no maximum limit
In the NCL, NCM and NCB maximum limit of 2,400sf for a single unit dwelling
Design requirements (bulk plane, façade articulation, etc.) and rear-lot requirements in NCL, NCM and
NCB
Code reorganization
Simplify and rename the NCL, NCM, NCB to OT-A, -B, -C
Clarification of definitions/measurements
Graphic and form-based representation of code standards (example illustrated below)

Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 5 of 15
Based on the conversation at the July 31 work session, the majority of Councilmembers offered feedback
to include the following code changes:
ADUs allowed throughout the City on parcels were a single unit dwelling exist.
Allow two units in the RL and NCL zone districts on minimum lot sizes.
Decrease the minimum lot size in 4,500sf in the NCL and NCM zone districts.
Restrict ADU height in relation to the primary building and alley access.
Allow three units in the NCM on lots between 4,500-6,000sf.
Expanding affordable housing incentives citywide and calibrate market-feasible incentives for
ownership and rental.
Update definitions of affordable housing to match market needs for ownership.
Specify that HOA’s can continue to regulate aesthetics.
Add language to allow HOA’s to regulate site placement.
Fractional reduction of parking requirements for multi-unit developments of 1 and 2 bedroom units.
Affordable Housing development parking reduction for only 7 units and more.
Require 1 parking space for an ADU and allow a tandem parking space to count only for ADU and
extra occupancy.
Prohibit an ADU from being licensed as a Short Term Rental and continue to allow existing licensed
ADUs to operate.

Potential Alternatives in Detail
Development of Alternatives:
Utilizing feedback received through engagement events and other correspondence, including online
feedback forms and emails, staff formulated a menu of 33 potential code alternatives for Council
consideration. These code alternatives attempt to respond to community feedback regarding preservation
of existing neighborhood character while still adhering to the Guiding Principles outlined above. Where
applicable, potential alternatives have been organized into different zone districts. Other potential
alternatives are city-wide changes for Council to consider.
Scope of Potential Alternatives:
This work session focuses only on the alternatives that did not achieve consensus at the July 31, 2023
Council work session. Staff will combine the feedback from this work session and the July 31, 2023 work
session to develop a new draft of Land Use Code changes that Council will consider on first reading on
October 3, 2023. Zone districts and topics covered in this work session include:
RL – Low Density Residential Zone District site specific criteria to build a duplex
NCL – Neighborhood Conservation, Low Density Zone District site specific criteria for allowing 3 units
on lots 6,000sf+
NCM – Neighborhood Conservation, Medium Density Zone District:
o allow 5 units on lots greater than 6,000sf.
o cottage courts allowed as a building type
o site specific criteria for allowing a sixth unit.
Affordable Housing required term of affordability 50, 60 or 99 years.
Affordable Housing Development allowed to be reviewed through a Basic Development Review.
Private Covenants/Homeowners Associations ability to prohibit further lot splits.
For each group of alternatives, information has also been included about what is currently permitted under
the existing Land Use Code and how the potential alternatives might apply to lots in each zone district
where applicable.
Zone-Specific Alternatives:
The following alternatives have been organized to match the format of the conversation in the Work
Session presentation.
RL – Residential, Low-Density Zone District:
At the July 31 work session, most Councilmembers expressed general support for Alternatives 1 through
4, accompanied by a discussion including several follow-up questions and requests, some of which were
addressed in the July 31 work session summary that was provided to Council in the August 10th weekly
packet. Several Councilmembers asked for clarifying information regarding Alternative Number 5 given the
interactions between the “or” statements. More information is provided below to help clarify these choices.
The Residential, Low Density (RL) Zone District is the largest residential zone district in Fort Collins. Most
neighborhoods within the RL zone district are comprised primarily of single-unit, detached homes. Over
50% of existing housing was built between 1960 and 1997.
Page 42
Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 7 of 15
Currently Allowed Under the Existing Land Use Code in RL:
Housing Types: Single-unit detached house
Lot Size: 6,000 sq feet minimum AND 3 times the total floor area, whichever is greater
Maximum Height: 28 feet for residential buildings
Under the Repealed Land Development Code (LDC) in RL
Hearing Type: Building permit for parcel in an existing subdivision; Public Hearing (Type 1) for new
subdivision
Housing Types: Single-unit detached, ADU, Duplex and Triplex
Triplex: required to be affordable housing units
Duplex and Triplex required a 100ft lot width
Review of Potential Alternatives for RL:
Alternative Number 5: Allow duplexes only under the following circumstances:
Allow Duplexes on any of the following:
Lots of 100ft width OR
Lots that integrate the existing structure OR
Lots that create an affordable housing development OR
Lots within ¼ mile of current or future high frequency
transit
Considerations:
o There are about 25,000 parcels within the RL zone district.
o About 5,000 parcels (20% of RL parcels) are 100 feet wide or wider.
o About 7,750 parcels (31% of RL parcels) are within ¼ mile of current or
future high-frequency transit.
o The overlap of the 100ft wide lots and those ¼ mile from high frequency
transit is 10% of RL parcels.
o There are currently no incentives for affordable housing in the RL Zone.
o While property owners would be allowed to build a second unit under
specific circumstances, other constraints, such as setback, height, utility,
access, and parking requirements may make some parcels infeasible for
two dwelling units.
o These alternatives aim to mitigate impacts of additional housing in
neighborhoods (concerns about density, character, and parking) while still
allowing a limited increase in housing capacity.

Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 8 of 15
NCL – Neighborhood Conservation, Low Density Zone District:
Most Councilmembers expressed general support for Alternatives 6 through 8, accompanied by a
discussion that included several considerations and questions, several of which were addressed in the
July 31 work session summary and within the alternative considerations below.
The Neighborhood Conservation, Low Density Zone District is similar to the RL Zone District in that it
permits primarily single-unit, detached houses; however, the NCL Zone also permits “Carriage Houses”
on lots over 12,000 square feet (about 10% of all NCL lots). The NCL Zone District areas are generally
west and southeast of Downtown. These neighborhoods were mostly built before 1959 and comprise
single-family homes on blocks with alleys. Some blocks in the NCL Zone also include duplexes built prior
to the current LUC, and some larger lots include Carriage Houses.
A carriage house is a detached single unit dwelling that is behind another detached single unit dwelling. It
is limited in size to a maximum 1,000 sf of floor area and requires an additional parking space.
Currently Allowed Under the Existing Land Use Code:
Housing Types: Single-unit detached house; carriage house
Lot Size: 6,000 sq. feet minimum; 12,000 sq. feet minimum for carriage house (10% of NCL lots)
Maximum Height: 2 stories; 1.5 stories for carriage house or building at the rear of the lot
Hearing Type: Administrative Review (Basic Development Review/BDR) for single-unit detached
house, Public Hearing (Type 1) for 2 units or alley-fronting buildings
Under the Repealed Land Development Code (LDC) in NCL:
The same housing types as the RL single-unit dwelling, ADU, duplex, and triplex
Triplex: required to be affordable housing
Lot Size: 4,500 sq. feet for all housing types
Potential Alternatives for NCL:
Alternative Number 9: Allow three units maximum on lots larger only under the following
circumstances:
Allow three units on any of the following 6,000 sf lots:
Lots with Duplex + ADU
Lots that integrate the existing structure into triplex
Lots that create an affordable housing triplex
Allow three units on 9,000 sf lots with the following Site-Specific Requirement:
Lots that create an affordable housing with a 3 unit cottage court
Considerations:
o About 1,385 parcels (80% of NCL parcels) are larger than 6,000 square
feet
o There are currently no incentives for affordable housing in the NCL Zone.
o While property owners would be allowed to build up to three units on
parcels larger than 6,000 square feet, other constraints, such as setback,
Page 44
Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 9 of 15
height, utility, access, and parking requirements may make some parcels
infeasible for three dwelling units.
o This alternative seeks to increase housing capacity on larger parcels while
incentivizing the use of existing structures, incentivizing affordable
housing, and increasing density near high-frequency transit.
NCM – Neighborhood Conservation, Medium Density Zone District: The Neighborhood Conservation,
Medium Density Zone District comprises neighborhoods that are adjacent to Downtown and includes a
diverse mix of single-unit detached, duplex, and multi-unit residential buildings often integrated on the
same block with commercial uses and services within walking distance.
Currently Allowed Under the Existing Land Use Code:
Housing Types: Single-unit detached house; carriage house; multi-unit up to 4 units (e.g. duplex,
triplex, fourplex)
Lot Size: 5,000 sq. feet minimum for single-unit detached house; 6,000 sq. foot minimum for multi-unit
buildings up to 4 units; 10,000 sq. feet minimum for carriage house
Maximum Height: 2 stories, 1.5 stories for carriage house or building at the rear of the lot
Hearing Type:
o Administrative Review (BDR) for single-unit detached house or up to 2 units in one building
on a vacant lot or with no exterior changes to an existing building
o Public Hearing (Type 1) for 2 units in more than one building or up to 4 units on a vacant lot
or with no exterior changes to an existing building
o Public Hearing + neighborhood meeting (Planning and Zoning Commission) for 2-4 units
when structural additions or exterior alterations are made to an existing building
Under the Repealed Land Development Code (LDC) in NCM:
Lot size minimum for all housing types of 4,500 sq. feet
Allowed single-unit, Accessory Dwelling Unit, Duplex, Triplex, and Multi-Unit
Allowed 5 units on all lot sizes
Allowed 6th unit only for affordable housing project
Potential Alternatives for NCM:
Alternative Number 12: Allow five units maximum on lots larger than 6,000 square feet
Alternative Number 13: Allow six units on lots 6,000 square feet and larger IF the development
converts and integrates an existing structure AND one unit is affordable.
Alternative Number 14: Allow a Cottage Court (minimum 3 units, maximum 6 units) on lots 9,000
square feet or larger
Page 45
Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 10 of 15
Allow up to 5 Units ONLY IF:
Minimum lot size of 6,000+sf
Allow up to 6 Units if ALL the following criteria are met:
6,000 sf minimum lot size Integrates the existing
structure Affordable Housing Unit
Allow Cottage Courts if ALL the following criteria are met:
9,000 square foot minimum lot size Minimum of 3 units
Maximum of 6 units Minimum 100’ lot width
Considerations:
o About 1,437 parcels (70% of NCM parcels) are larger than 6,000 square
feet. Of these larger parcels:
About 810 parcels (39% of all NCM parcels) are between 6,000-9,000
square feet.
About 627 parcels (31% of all NCM parcels) are larger than 9,000
square feet.
o There are no current incentives for affordable housing in the NCM Zone.
o While property owners would be allowed to build additional units, other
constraints, such as setback, height, utility, access, and parking
requirements may make some parcels infeasible for five or six dwelling
units.
o This alternative aims to mitigate potential impacts of additional housing in
neighborhoods (heard as a concern during public engagement) while still
allowing a limited increase in housing capacity.
Citywide Alternatives:
The following are topics of concern heard citywide through the current community engagement process.
The alternatives listed below would be enforced citywide and do not necessarily pertain to the specific
zone districts outlined above. These alternatives are meant to address concerns heard.
Page 46
Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 11 of 15
Affordable Housing:
At the July 31 work session, Councilmembers expressed general support for Alternatives 15 and 16, with
a request for an update to the Housing Capacity estimates to better understand how the proposed
Alternatives affect housing capacity and current affordable housing goals. Councilmembers also requested
more information regarding deed restriction requirements and what impact moving beyond the 20 -year requirement
will have on the creation of affordable housing.
Potential alternatives regarding affordable housing are meant to enable more affordability overall,
especially near high frequency transit. The incentives proposed are intended to make affordable housing
more economically feasible and easier to build across the housing spectrum and throughout the city.
Currently Allowed Under the Existing Land Use Code:
Density bonus of 3 additional dwelling units per acre in the Low- Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood
(LMN) Zone
Height bonus of 2 stories for buildings that are both mixed-use and affordable in the Transit-Oriented
Development Overlay (TOD) Zone
Parking Reductions of up to 50% in the TOD Zone for affordable developments at 60% Area Median
Income (AMI) or below
Reduced tree sizes for affordable housing developments
Potential Alternatives for Affordable Housing: The alternatives outlined below would create a citywide
incentive structure that would both allow affordable housing providers to build more affordable units and
encourage private developers to contribute to the city’s affordable housing needs by using incentives to
close the gap between market rate homes and affordable homes.
It is important to note that these alternatives do not require affordable housing to be built; rather, they
increase the opportunity for affordable housing to be built across the community while attempting to
incorporate community desire to maintain neighborhood character. If Council chooses to explore
mandatory requirements for affordable housing in the future, adequate zoning capacity for affordable
housing and a well-calibrated incentive program will be essential to designing an effective approach.
Alternative Number 17: Extend required affordability term to either 50, 60 or 99 years for any project
seeing LUC incentives for affordable housing.
Considerations:
o Council has expressed interest in extending the City’s required affordability
term from the current 20-year requirement to ensure that affordable
housing continues to remain affordable into the future.
o A 99-year deed restriction is the longest term legally permitted.
Private Covenants/Homeowners Associations (HOAs):
At the July 31 work session, Councilmembers expressed general support for Alternatives 18 through 20,
accompanied by a discussion regarding differential treatment of HOAs versus neighborhoods without
HOAs. Councilmembers requested a comparison between implications of the Alternatives on HOA and
non-HOA neighborhoods.
The following potential code alternatives are meant to respond to feedback expressed through public
engagement, especially from residents of HOAs. There are currently over 200 HOAs registered in Fort
Collins. They vary based on neighborhood size, housing type and the types of things their covenants
address. HOAs can currently regulate several aspects of aesthetics including exterior colors, materials,
Page 47
Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 12 of 15
and some design elements. HOAs cannot restrict residents from having solar panels, xeric landscaping,
or clotheslines. At the July Council Work Session, Council discussed 4 alternatives related to Homeowner
Association Regulation. The August 22 Work Session materials focus on Alternative #21 (Allow an HOA
to regulate whether a lot can be further subdivided) because this option resulted in the most discussion
and varied feedback. However, staff does want to ensure adequate time and space for Council to fully
explore the question of the full set of potential HOA regulation alternatives.
To illustrate the potential impact of each of these alternatives, it is helpful to consider two hypothetical
neighborhoods that are essentially identical except that Neighborhood A has an HOA and Neighborhood
B does not.
Alternative 18: Allow an HOA to regulate the option for detached or attached ADU.
means that in Neighborhood A, the HOA could establish rules that allow ADUs to be either attached
or detached. For example, Neighborhood A could prohibit detached ADUs and specify that ADUs
are only allowed to be attached. Because Neighborhood B does not have an HOA, both attached
and detached ADUs would be allowed.
Alternative 19: Specify that HOAs can continue to regulate aesthetics (color, window
placement, height, materials, etc.) within the bounds of their existing rules.
By itself, this alternative would not impact the “type” of ADUs allowed in either neighborhood;
however, Neighborhood A could regulate the aesthetics of the ADU while Neighborhood B could
not.
Alternative 20: Add language to allow HOAs to regulate site placement (additional setbacks,
separation requirements).
Would allow Neighborhood A to have more stringent setback/placement requirements for ADUs.
Neighborhood B would use setbacks established by the zone district.
Alternative 21: Allow an HOA to regulate whether a lot can be further subdivided.
Would allow an HOA to restrict subdivision of lots that would otherwise be allowed to be subdivided.
So, Neighborhood A could prohibit large lots from being subdivided into smaller lots, and
Neighborhood B could not restrict the subdivision of large lots if the zoning allows it.
Staff’s current understanding is that the draft code should include Alternative 18, 19, and 20, with additional
discussion needed on Alternative 21, unless additional or different feedback is provided at the August 22
work session.
Considerations:
o Community engagement highlighted that many residents who live in HOA
neighborhoods would like additional options to regulate or restrict ADUs.
o This alternative seeks to reflect desire for more regulation by HOAs with
the interest expressed to increase housing capacity across the community.
Alternative Number 26: Allow Affordable Housing projects to be reviewed under Basic Development
Review (BDR)
Considerations:
o Basic Development Review (BDR) streamlines the review process for residential
projects and can still incorporate and include a robust public comment period and
feedback process.

Other Items Requested During the Last Work Session:
Parking:
Councilmembers generally supported Alternatives 22 through 25, though there was a request to consider
exempting corner lots from Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) parking requirements and to always count
tandem parking spaces. More information is provided below.
Parking reductions for 1 and 2 bedroom units in a multi-unit development result:
Minimum Parking Average:
Existing Proposed
1.6 space per unit 1.2 space per unit
Short Term Rentals (STRs):
Councilmembers generally supported Alternatives 32 and 33 to restrict new Accessory Dwelling Units
(ADUs) from being used as STRs and allow existing ADUs to continue to operate under their current
license. A request was made to follow up regarding how many STRs existing in accessory buildings.
Licenses are issued to the property owner
With a nonconforming STR, a new license may not be applied for by a new owner in a zone district
that prohibits STRs after 30 days of transfer of ownership.
A STR license maybe not be transferred to a new owner for a multi-unit dwelling that does not have a
certificate of occupancy for R-1 (lodging) for the entire building.
There are approximately 375 STR licenses issued throughout the City and 48 of those are in detached
accessory buildings.
Existing Housing Types in RL zone district:
In the map below there are parts of the RL zone district that have other housing types than single unit. In
the highlighted areas these additional housing types such as duplexes, townhomes and condos were
approved under prior zoning standards.
Page 49
Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 14 of 15
Nonconforming Properties:
There are times when properties developed under prior zoning regulations and the current zoning
regulations would prohibit the existing structure or use. This is referred to as a nonconforming property.
This is the case in the example above. These uses were legally permitted in the past and would not be
allowed under the current standards. Nonconforming uses and structures may not be rebuilt, except if
destroyed by natural disaster. The code limits the alterations that may occur and requires most changes
to bring the structure or use into conformance with current standards. Allowing the existing smaller lots to
be conforming reduces the pressure to absorb these smaller lot into larger lots.
Principle: Increase overall housing capacity. Similar to the challenges created by limited housing choices,
current regulations constrain housing capacity in certain areas of the City. As a result, the inventory of
housing options is not keeping pace with demand. To ensure that Fort Collins has sufficient housing
capacity to meet our community’s needs now and into the future, recommendations in the Diagnostic
Report suggests several improvements to the ways the LUC currently regulates housing development.
Page 50
Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 15 of 15
Improvements proposed include:
Target increases in housing capacity to zones in transit corridors and zones with the greatest
amount of buildable land.
Increase maximum density in the LMN zone from 9 to 12 dwelling units per acre.
Reduce parking requirements for studio, one- and two-bedroom units in multi-unit developments.
Regulate building size through maximum floor area and form standards instead of units per
building.
Regulate density through form standards and building types instead of dwelling units per acre.
NEXT STEPS
Community engagement will continue through August and September as the Land Use Code is
finalized.
First Reading of the Code is scheduled for October 3, 2023 at a Regular Council Session

3 Require ADU properties to be owner occupied (meaning owner has to reside in one of the units)
4 Allow two units maximum (house + ADU or duplex only)
5 Allow duplexes ONLY IF 1) a lot is 100ft wide or wider or 2) one unit is an
affordable housing unit or 3) the duplex converts and integrates an
existing structure or 4) a lot is within 1/4 mile of current or future high-
frequency transit

Item 2.
16RL: Discussion of Alternatives
Allow Duplexes if one of the following criteria is met:
Lots of 100ft width OR 20% of parcels in RL (Approx. 5,000 lots)
Lots that integrate the existing structure OR
Lots that require an affordable housing development OR
Lots within 1/4 of high frequency transit 31% of parcels in RL (Approx. 7,750 lots)
Example: 2-unit, side by sidePage 67
Item 2.
17RL: Discussion of Alternatives
Example: 2-unit, split-levelThere are about 25,000 parcels within the RL zone district.
About 5,000 parcels (20% of RL parcels) are 100 feet wide or wider.
About 7,750 parcels (31% of RL parcels) are within ¼ mile of current or future high-frequency transit.
•There are no current incentives for affordable housing in
the RL Zone.
•While property owners would be allowed to build a
second unit under specific circumstances, other
constraints, such as setback, height, utility, access, and
parking requirements may make some parcels infeasible
for two dwelling units.
•These alternatives aim to mitigate impacts of additional
housing in neighborhoods (concerns about density,
character, and parking) while still allowing a limited
increase in housing capacity.

SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION
Transportation Capital Projects Prioritization Study (TCPPS).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to discuss the results of the TCPPS as it relates to the prioritization and
planning of our 10-year Transportation Capital Improvement Program (TCIP). The TCPPS is a
methodology for selection of capital projects to improve intersections and roadway corridors in the City
and aligns with our Vision Zero plan and our Active modes plan.
GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
1. Do Councilmembers support the 10-year TCIP and TCPPS goals?
2. What feedback do Councilmembers have on the 10-year TCIP and TCPPS?
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City of Fort Collins conducted an Arterial Intersection Prioritization Study (AIPS) in 2010 and updated
the study in 2016. The results of these efforts guided the selection of intersection improvement projects for
pursuing grant funding, design, and construction. Most of the highest priority projects from the AIPS have
been completed. The current TCPPS effort seeks to provide the next round of project identification and
prioritization to guide capital project investment over the next 10 years.
TCPPS was performed in the light of on-going efforts by City staff to make informed, data-driven decisions
on expenditures for transportation capital projects. Its primary focus is to find opportunities to improve
traffic safety and congestion on the arterial network, while collaborating with parallel efforts such as the
Active Modes Plan (AMP) and the Vision Zero Action Plan (Vision Zero). TCPPS was conducted in three
phases: Data Collection and Initial Screening, Project Selection, and Concept Development.
Phase 1: Data Collection and Screening involved the collection and analysis of data to identify high-priority
intersections and roadway segments. The analysis included reviewing traff ic congestion and safety at all
arterial streets and segments in the city. This process identified a ranked list sorted by delay and annual
crashes at each intersection and segment, giving the team a variety of arterial intersections and segments
that could be assembled into projects to carry forward.

Item 3.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 2 of 3
Phase 2: Project Selection began with assembling a series of projects using the list of identified
intersections and segments in Phase 1 along with improvements identified in parallel plans such as the
AMP. Potential projects were selected based on their feasibility, potential impact, and ability to collaborate
with other plans. Four quantitative and five qualitative criteria were developed in coordination with the AMP
team and applied to the identified projects. This phase resulted in a draft list of ranked projects. The top
15 projects were then selected to move into the next phase.
Phase 3: Concept Development involved the development of conceptual designs, high-level cost
estimation, and environmental screening for each of the top 15 projects. Project scoring was then refined,
and a final ranked list of recommended projects was developed as follows:
The top 15 projects serve as a foundation to the 10-year TCIP, which also combines our current capital
project planning (projects already in construction or the design phase), the next ten years effort for the
Page 98
Item 3.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 3 of 3
Active Modes Plan, and other capital projects being developed with our regional and city partners such at
CDOT, Larimer County, CSU, and the NFR MPO.
Our TCPPS consultant, Olsson, completed a desktop review of publicly available datasets to identify
potential environmental resources within expected project boundaries of individual projects. The objective
of the review was to evaluate each project for impacts to environmental features and possible
environmental risks. The desktop review was completed by investigating publicly available datasets, which
depict the potential locations of a variety of environmental resources. The datasets were compiled in a
geographic information system (GIS), and map figures are included in Attachment 4. The following
publicly available resources were used to complete the desktop review:
• Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database (USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service [NRCS]
2018)
• Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW). 2022. Non-Disclosure Agreement Nest Data
• USGS 2022 National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). U.S. Dept. of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey
• National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), Version 2 (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service [USFWS] 2020)
• Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) SB
181 High Priority Habitat (HPH) (2022)
• U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Gap Analysis Project (GAP) 2022, Protected Areas Database of the
United States (PAD-US) Version 3.0
• City of Fort Collins Natural Areas 2022
• National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) Larimer County, FEMA Floodplain 2022
Funding for these capital projects will come from a variety of sources. Traditionally, our transportation
capital projects have been funded with federal and state grants, CCIP, TCEF, and the general fund (through
the BFO process). This will continue to be the case moving forward, as historically we have received 40-
50% of our capital funding through federal and state grants. Additionally, the TCCPS methodology is meant
to provide project scoring based on the quantitative and qualitative criteria laid out in the study. The project
scoring, combined with alignment of other City plans (such as City Plan, Our Climate Future, Strategic
Plan, Vision Zero, Active Modes Plan, and Transit Master Plan) will provide further justification in the BFO
process. The TCCPS report is listed at Attachment 1.
NEXT STEPS
This item is scheduled for the September 19, 2023, City Council Meeting for Council to consider the
adoption of TCCPS into City Plan to be used as a methodology and foundation for the 10-year TCIP
prioritization and planning process going forward.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report outlines the process of the Transportation Capital Project Prioritization Study (TCPPS)
for the City of Fort Collins (City). TCPPS was performed in the light of on-going efforts by the City
to make informed, data-driven decisions on expenditures for transportation capital projects. Its
primary focus is to find opportunities to improve traffic safety and congestion on the arterial
network, while collaborating with parallel efforts such as the Active Modes Plan (AMP) and the
Vision Zero Action Plan (Vision Zero). TCPPS was conducted in three phases: Data Collection
and Initial Screening, Project Selection, and Concept Development.
Phase 1: Data Collection and Screening involved the collection and analysis of data to identify
high-priority intersections and roadway segments. The analysis included reviewing traffic
congestion and safety at all arterial streets and segments in the city. This process identified a
ranked list sorted by delay and annual crashes at each intersection and segment, giving the team
a variety of arterial intersections and segments that could be assembled into projects to carry
forward.
Phase 2: Project Selection began with assembling a series of projects using the list of identified
intersections and segments in Phase 1 along with improvements identified in parallel plans such
as the AMP. Potential projects were selected based on their feasibility, potential impact, and ability
to collaborate with other plans. Four quantitative and five qualitative criteria were developed in
coordination with the AMP team and applied to the identified projects. This phase resulted in a
draft list of ranked projects. The top 15 projects were then selected to move into the next phase.
Phase 3: Concept Development involved the development of conceptual designs, high-level cost
estimation, and environmental screening for each of the top 15 projects. Project scoring was then
refined, and a final ranked list of recommended projects was developed.
Subsequent to this study, the City will use the projects and outcomes to program the capital
improvement plan. Implementation of the projects will depend on, among other factors, funding
availability and opportunities to collaborate with other projects. These are two factors that are
central to the Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) process which is used by the City to select where
to spend city budget. The BFO process aligns projects with the City’s goals and occurs every two
years, with projects submitted to City Council for recommendation and selection.
The TCPPS process has been a collaborative effort between the project team and the City. The
goal of the study was to identify and prioritize projects that align with the City's goals and provide
the greatest opportunity for improving safety, reducing congestion, and enhancing multimodal
comfort. The final list of recommended projects represents a strategic approach to addressing the
City's most pressing transportation needs.

1. PURPOSE & BACKGROUND
The City of Fort Collins selected Olsson to complete the Transportation Capital Project
Prioritization Study (TCPPS). This study focused on arterial roadway and intersection
improvements based on selected criteria that balances the need for safety and congestion
improvements with the priorities of the community.
1.1 Study Background & Purpose
The City of Fort Collins conducted an Arterial Intersection Prioritization Study (AIPS) in 2010 and
updated the study in 2016. The results of these efforts guided the selection of intersection
improvement projects for pursuing grant funding, design, and construction. Most of the highest
priority projects from the AIPS have been completed. This current study seeks to provide the next
round of project identification and prioritization to guide capital project investment over the near-
term planning horizon.
The City’s Community Capital Improvement Program (CCIP) sales tax includes dedicated funding
for arterial intersection improvements. There are additional funding sources available for corridor
improvements within City limits and within the GMA. These funds are often used to leverage
Federal and State grants. Additionally, the City’s Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) budget process
has historically been used to help fund large transportation capital projects.
This Transportation Capital Project Prioritization Study (TCPPS) was initiated by the City of Fort
Collins to identify arterial roadway and intersection improvements both within the city limits, and
within the Growth Management Area (GMA). The analysis summarized in this report includes a
compilation of data for arterial intersections and corridors, assessment of existing conditions for
various quantitative and qualitative considerations, identification of potential improvement
projects to address transportation system deficiencies, and prioritization of project needs based
on feedback from the community.
This study represents a broad evaluation of arterial roadway and intersection needs within the
City and GMA and includes criteria that overlap with other City efforts, such as multimodal
(bicycle, pedestrian, and transit) considerations. This study is supplemental to other key citywide
efforts focused specifically on these priorities, such as the Fort Collins Bicycle Master Plan (2014),
Fort Collins Pedestrian Plan (2011), Fort Collins Transit Master Plan (2019), Active Modes Plan
(2022), and Vision Zero Action Plan (2023). The intent of this study is to supplement and/or
implement the guidance of these efforts at the arterial intersection and roadway level.

1.2 Study Framework
This study represents a three-phase, data-driven approach to project identification and
prioritization. Phase 1 consists of a high-level screening of arterial intersections and arterial
corridors based on key factors of safety and capacity. These locations are analyzed based on the
potential to improve safety and congestion through improvements such as intersection geometric
and roadway construction, signal timing adjustments, signal modifications or replacements, re-
striping, or other treatments.
The top ranked locations for potential improvements were identified and specific project
improvements were developed at these locations. These projects were then evaluated and
prioritized in Phase 2 based on quantitative criteria and qualitative criteria. The criteria were
established in coordination with City staff and aligned with the Active Modes Plan (AMP). Each
project was then scored and ranked based on the priorities of the City. This phase resulted in a
prioritized list of top-tier projects that were carried forward Phase 3.

Phase 3 takes the top-tier projects and further defines each project's specific improvements and
cost. Conceptual designs were prepared that show the recommended improvement, impacts,
and conceptual cost estimate. This information will be used by the City to aid in preparing the
Ten-Year Transportation Improvement Plan and identifying funding opportunities.
1.3 Public Involvement
The local community and stakeholders were engaged throughout the entire study to gain an
understanding of the issues and challenges facing the transportation network in Fort Collins. Input
from the overall effort was used to not only identify location where improvements were needed
but to also understand the desires of the public to inform creation and weighting of the prioritization
criteria. A public involvement strategy consisting of a series of online and in person engagement
opportunities, including the following outlets, was conducted:
• Webpage
• Social Media
• Press Releases
• Newsletters
• Community Partners Email Blasts
• In Person & Virtual Open Houses
• Public Surveys
• Transportation Board Presentations
The complete public involvement plan and engagement results can be found in Appendix A –
Public Engagement Summary. The information gathered was incorporated into each phase of
the study and used to guide the study, to ensure that the detailed engineering results produced
aligned with the real-world observations and needs of the community.
1.4 GIS T ool
Concurrent to the TCPPS, Olsson developed a GIS-based tool to assist the City of Fort Collins in
a data-driven approach to maintaining the capital projects list. A Screening Tool was developed
that houses the city-wide congestion and safety data as well as other relevant data used to
perform the Phase 1 screening. These will be managed in a spreadsheet-based tool that
inventories and scores projects. Future efforts beyond this study are being contemplated that
would develop a Management Tool that houses the capital project list from all city departments
with associated tags and filters. These tools should be updated with new information, such as that
related to congestion and safety. As the City continues to grow and develop, projects can be
reprioritized as needs shift and funding becomes available. This section provides a description of
these tools. Additionally, user guides for each tool are included in Appendix B.

1.4.1. Screening Tool
The screening tool was created with the intent of housing all the information needed to conduct
the Phase 1 effort of this study. It contains GIS layers showing current and notable features within
Fort Collins. The Screening Tool is an online GIS Web Application that can be found here: Fort
Collins TCPPS Phase I Screening Tool (arcgis.com). This tool contains the data layers that were
used in TCPPS to identify top locations that would benefit from improvements, shown in Table 2.

1.4.2. Management Tool
Like the Screening Tool, the Management Tool was created to support the study process as the
City of Fort Collins shepherds the capital projects list moving forward. The Management Tool is
structured as an Excel spreadsheet with filters to sort all the capital and operational projects, as
well as corridor studies identified in TCPPS. Each project includes relevant information to assist
in sorting and filtering, as outlined in Table 3.

Each recommended project is accompanied by a summary sheet that provides essential project
details, such as detailed scoring criteria, scope elements, budget, anticipated schedule, and
anticipated impacts. The project team has explored the feasibility of migrating the tabular data to
a GIS platform. Such a transition would enable dynamic filtering and sorting of projects, as well
as the storage of data and visual representation of project locations on a map. Future iterations
of the Management Tool could incorporate this functionality to assess capital projects.
2. PHASE 1 – DATA COLLECTION &
SCREENING
The project study area and intersections included in this analysis are shown on Figure 1. The
intersections chosen for the study include signalized arterial intersections, unsignalized arterial-
to-arterial intersections and arterial segments. An initial, high-level screening of arterial
intersections and corridors was conducted based on a data-driven evaluation of safety and
congestion conditions within the City and GMA. The following safety and congestion sections
describe the methodology utilized for both categories. To accurately plan within the context of
future conditions of the TCPPS study area, the new and proposed streets which are part of known
significant and upcoming developments were also included in the screening. The largest
development in the planning horizon is the Montava Master Planned Community. Montava is an

2.1 Screening Analysis
2.1.1. Intersection Congestion
Intersection capacity was evaluated for all signalized intersections using the Highway Capacity
Manual (HCM) delay methodology (with Synchro capacity modeling software) for existing AM,
mid-day, and PM weekday peak hours. HCM delay is represented in average delay per second
for individual movements (turns), intersection approaches, and for each overall signalized
intersection. A “Level of Service” (LOS) letter grade A through F is assigned to the average delay
values with LOS A representing near free flow conditions, and LOS F representing congested
conditions shown in Table 4. Typically, LOS D or better is considered acceptable at an arterial
intersection during peak hour conditions.
Table 4 – Level of Service Criteria
Level-of-Service Average Control Delay (seconds)
Signalized Unsignalized
A ≤ 10 ≤ 10
B > 10-20 > 10-15
C > 20-35 > 15-25
D > 35-55 > 25-35
E > 55-80 > 35-50
F > 80 > 50
Source: Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 6th Ed.)
Table 4-2 of the LCUASS defines LOS standards for Fort Collins, outlining various LOS thresholds
required to satisfy Adequate Community Facilities (ACF) standards for signalized and
unsignalized intersections. This standard requires signalized arterial intersections to operate at
LOS D or better overall and LOS E or better for any leg or movement. Unsignalized arterial
intersections must operate at LOS E or better (LOS D in some cases) and may operate LOS for
any leg or movement. Roundabouts must operate at LOS E for any movement, leg, and overall.
These standards were used to guide determinations of when an intersection is considered to
operate at an unacceptable level.
2.1.2. Intersection Crashes
The safety analysis performed for the TCPPS study area included an intersection-by-intersection
review of excess crash costs, the intersection Level of Safety Service (LOSS), and excess crash
cost trends. Crash data was provided by the City of Fort Collins. The results of the excess crash
cost and LOSS analysis was also provided by way of Fort Collins Annual Roadway Safety Review
(City of Fort Collins 2021). This memorandum summarizes a statistical analysis of crashes at
intersections; examining the crash frequency, patterns, and severity.
Page 113
Item 3.
9207 - Transportation Capital Project Prioritization Study

Excess Crash Costs
Three years of crash data from 2018 to 2020 throughout the study area were quantified by the
City in terms of potential crash reductions by using the excess crash costs methodology from the
American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Highway Safety
Manual (HSM). This methodology compares the actual crashes accounted for at each intersection
in the crash history dataset with the number of crashes predicted to likely occur within the model,
based on general information such as roadway type, intersection control, and annual average
daily traffic (AADT). This methodology standardizes the estimation of the economic and societal
costs of crashes in a consistent and reliable way to highlight intersections that are quantitatively
performing poorer than expected in terms of safety. This data can be used to determine the
intersections with the most potential for crash reduction and to provide preliminary insight into
crash patterns and potential issues at intersections.
Level of Safety Service (LOSS)
The LOSS is a methodology pioneered by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to
identify locations with potential for safety improvements. The LOSS uses quantitative methods to
compare crash frequencies and severities against Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) and is
the reported with qualitative descriptors to characterize the potential crash reduction of a roadway.
The LOSS is categorized between LOSS 1 to LOSS 4 in which LOSS 4 has the highest potential
for crash reduction and improved safety. While similar in function to the excess crash cost
methodology, the LOSS methodology is specifically calibrated to Colorado’s public roadways.
Excess Crash Cost Trends
The excess crash cost trends compare excess crash costs of the 2018 through 2020 dataset with
an additional three-year dataset from the years 2015 to 2017 to determine whether the safety of
each intersection is trending in a positive or negative direction. The TCPPS methodology
prioritizes addressing intersections with a negative trajectory as these have the highest pote ntial
for safety improvements.
After these metrics were assessed across the TCPPS study area, City of Fort Collins staff and
TCPPS project staff excluded intersections from the rankings which were either trending
positively, having no excess crash costs, intersections which have been improved recently or are
currently undergoing construction, and intersections which are to be included in larger corridor
projects.

2.2 Screening Results
The results of the Phase 1 congestion and safety screening for the top intersections and corridors
are described in detail below. In each table, the locations have been sorted by performance in
descending order, with intersections or corridors that have the worst delay and safety ratings at
the top, and those with the more acceptable delay and safety ratings at the bottom.
2.2.1. Intersection Congestion Screening
The top twenty congested arterial intersections based on the average overall delay (per second)
are shown in Table 5. These intersections have unacceptable overall LOS as described in
LCUASS which follow the delay standards put forth in the ACF. As these are all signalized
intersections, the list reflects locations with overall intersection delay greater than 55 seconds
(LOS E) at any peak hour or individual approaches greater than 80 seconds (LOS F) for any peak
hour. Those with both overall intersection and approach delay that exceed ACF standards are
considered strong candidates to include in projects for Phase 2.

Corridor Safety Candidates
Table 7 provides a summary of crash rates along roadway segments for crashes that were not
assigned to intersections. These include mid-block crashes related to turning movements and
crashes that occurred at driveway access points, in addition to other non-intersection related
crashes. A higher ranking indicates a higher crash rate. Crash rates are expressed as crashes
per million entering vehicles (MEV) in order to normalize the crash data with roadway volumes
and segment lengths. This data was assessed in conjunction with the arterial intersection safety
and congestion analysis to identify potential projects that may overlap between the two data sets
(intersection and roadway segment). Roadway segments that had either a discernable crash
pattern or could be included with other intersection or corridor projects were identified as strong
candidates to include in projects to move into Phase 2.

2.2.3. Road Diet Screening
Road diets are frequently considered when a corridor has excess capacity and a high frequency
of crashes, high incidence of speeding or would benefit from additional multimodal facilities. Such
preliminary planning-level analyses have been performed for this project to identify potential road
diet candidates along arterial corridor segments within the study area.
The corridor segment capacity analysis used the latest traffic count data, along with 2040 growth
rates, from the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) travel demand
model. These volumes were compared against assumed traffic volume thresholds shown in Table
8 and 9. Volume thresholds are defined as the maximum traffic volume at a roadway’s ultimate
capacity – assumed to be LOS E. Volume thresholds vary for different roadway types based on
multiple geometric and operational factors, including roadway surface, number of lanes, lane
width, presence of turn lanes, and access condition.

Note: These tables represent ultimate capacity used in travel demand modeling. They represent the threshold for when a facility is
expected to cross from LOS D to LOS E. These should be used as a planning level guidance only and be checked against demand
and capacity of each facility being studied
Each arterial corridor segment within the study area with more than one lane per direction was
evaluated as a potential road diet candidate. The existing and projected 2040 traffic volumes for
each corridor segment were compared to the planning level capacities shown in Tables 5a and
5b to determine the ultimate volume to capacity (v/c) ratio. A segment with v/c ratio approaching
1.0 (approximately <0.85) was used to identify potential road diet candidates. Additionally,
locations were screened for those within the top 25 crash segments or were included in the AMP,
noting that some locations do have volumes exceeding the capacity guidelines above and will
need to be confirmed in preliminary design. A summary of potential road diet segments is outlined
in Table 10.

In urban settings, delay tends to be experienced at intersections. Therefore, segment capacities
were used as a measure for screening of road diet candidates. Detailed intersection analyses
will be carried out during Phase 2 to verify feasibility of the lane reconfigurations.
2.3 Top Locations
The high-level safety and congestion analysis conducted in Phase 1 produced a list of corridors
and intersections throughout the study area that provided opportunity to improve operations. In
this process, data was assessed to identify which roadways and intersections presented the
highest needs in terms of delay, traffic operations, and safety or those that provide the greatest
opportunity to improve the multimodal network or combine with other identified needs. Specific
reasons for selecting segments for congestion or safety needs are discussed in the preceding
sections. From this analysis, priority intersections and corridors were identified to funnel into
Phase 2, to develop into projects.
3. PHASE 2 – PROJECT SELECTION
The highest-ranking (lowest performing) intersections and roadway segments identified in Phase
1 were reviewed in more detail to determine potential projects that would provide the greatest
opportunity for feasible, impactful projects. Top locations from the lists of intersections with
congestion or safety issues (Tables 4 and 5, respectively), top crash segments (Table 6), and
road diet candidates (Table 9) were selected and assembled into projects. This process was
largely collaboration within the project team and the City of Fort Collins to identify locations that
have an identified need, do not have a previously programmed project, and can address multiple
proximate issues. For example, an intersection with safety or congestion issues may be coupled
with an adjacent street segment with safety issues to create a project.
To aid in selection of top projects, a series of quantitative criteria were developed and applied to
the identified projects. These criteria were developed in coordination with the City of Fort Collins
and aligned with the AMP to best achieve the current goals of the city. These criteria are
explained in detail in the following sections.
Each project was evaluated against the Quantitative and Qualitative Criteria, resulting in a score
for each criterion. Individual criterion scores were then combined to create a total score for each
project, and projects were ranked in order based on these scores. From this ranking the top 15
projects were identified to move into the next phase.
3.1 Project Identification
The priority intersections and segments identified in Phase 1 were further studied to identify
improvements that would address safety, congestion, multimodal comfort, multimodal network

and future traffic growth. Each project was summarized into the following Project Types and
Project Categories. These projects are illustrated in Figure 2.
Roundabouts were considered for project solutions, however, due to the amount capital
investment, there would not be a commensurate safety benefit as compared to other project
types.
Project Type Project Category
- Intersection improvements - Capital
- Corridor improvements - Studies
- Road diets - Operational

Identified projects that are recommended for additional study to determine potential solutions
have been categorized as studies. These projects have also been separated from the
prioritization process and are listed in Table 11.

Note that identified solutions to issues at many locations, particularly intersections, were relatively
simple to implement and were thus categorized as Operational projects. These projects were
separated from the potential capital project list and provided to Fort Collins Traffic Operations
team for implementation independent of development and execution of the capital improvement
plan. A list of the operational projects is shown in Table 12.

3.2 Quantitative Scoring Criteria
Capital projects and studies progressed in the quantitative scoring. Additionally, new construction
projects, identified by a judgment-based selection from new segments planned in the Montava
area, were included for scoring. Studies will not be considered for overall project prioritization;
however, this information will be used to prioritize these projects in the future and will be included
in the Management Tool. Additional congestion and safety calculations were completed as a part
of the quantitative scoring shown in Appendix C.
Crash Reduction
This criterion is a measure of the potential annual crash reduction from the recommended
improvements. Crash reduction factors associated with the proposed improvements were
selected from the CMF Clearinghouse to identify the potential annual crash reduction. Scoring
descriptions are shown in Table 13. Note that separate scoring was developed for New
Construction projects.
Table 13 – Crash Reduction Per Year Score

Medium - Provides some benefit at
existing intersections 3 >8 - 12 annual crash reduction 3
- - >12 - 16 annual crash reduction 4
High - Provides clear safety benefit to all
modes of travel, particularly at intersections 5 >16 annual crash reduction 5
Peak Hour Delay Reduction
Level of Service (LOS) is a quantitative measure used to describe how much delay a driver
experiences during individual turning movements and at intersections. LOS is calculated as an
average delay per second for these specific movements during peak hours of traffic throughout
the day. The Peak Hour Delay Reduction evaluation measure focuses on the average seconds
of delay reduced across all peak hours of the day as a result of recommended roadway
improvements. Individual intersections and non-intersection road segments are provided a score
depending on how many average seconds of delay have been reduced. Scoring descriptions are
shown in Table 14.

Equity
This criterion acknowledges the importance of considering how a project affects health and equity
of the community. Fort Collins has developed a Health Equity Index (HEI) using census data
specific to factors like age, disability, and access to a vehicle that affect an individual’s ability to
access and use the transportation network. The HEI most vulnerable communities. Scoring is
based on the values provided within this HEI. Scoring descriptions are shown in Table 15.

Growth
This criterion represents the expected growth in traffic annually as determined by travel demand
modeling performed by the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO). A
project’s relation to the growth score addresses the relative urgency to construct the project in
time to meet future traffic demand. Scoring descriptions are shown in Table 16.

3.3 Qualitative Scoring Criteria
Following the quantitative scoring, the capital projects and studies progressed in qualitative
scoring. The qualitative scoring criteria were developed to provide a way to capture benefits and
impacts to the community that are difficult to apply quantitative measure but nonetheless critical
to consider to meet the values of Fort Collins. The best available information is used throughout
the qualitative scoring process to facilitate initial project prioritization recommendations. These
criteria are later updated as additional information through Phase 3.
Cost
This criterion is based on the total cost estimate for each project. The total conceptual cost
includes high level estimates of construction, utilities, Right-of-Way, design fees, and construction
administration costs based on the engineering judgement. Scoring descriptions are shown in
Table 17 – Cost Score

>$10,000,000 - $20,000,000 2
> $20,000,000 1
Synergy
This criterion addresses the potential to support other currently funded or programmed public or
private projects. This does not include compatibility with other master plans. A higher score
represents a project with more direct benefit for another identified public infrastructure project or
private development project and the more likely it is able to support one or both of the existing
projects. Scoring descriptions are shown Table 18.

Readiness
This criterion involves an evaluation of overall complexity that may contribute to additional effort
by the City of Fort Collins or the engineering teams prior to the project being ready for final design
and construction. The risk to the project schedule was assigned to each of the sub criterion to
determine this score, including likelihood of funding, need for right-of-way acquisition, impact to
rail or utilities as well as utility relocation by others, and potential environmental impacts. Due to
the potential for schedule risks to overlap, the highest schedule risk is used to rank each project.

Multimodal Benefit
The multimodal benefit criterion considers a project’s relative benefit to the multimodal network,
such as addressing connectivity or improving comfort, and evaluates how well the project will
reduce dependency on single-occupancy vehicles and create safe options for people to ride, walk,
and take transit. Increased ability of a project to support this mode shift additionally helps to
implement goals of the Climate Action Plan. The scoring for this measure is based on a qualitative
analysis of how the project contributes to the overall multimodal network. This scoring for this
criterion combines input from other Fort Collins plans including the AMP and Transit Master Plan.
A direct benefit signifies that AMP recommendations are accomplished with the project, while an
indirect benefit signifies that AMP recommendations can be partially completed to setup for the
future. A project with a transit benefit has an existing or proposed transit facility within the project
limits. Scoring descriptions are shown in Table 20.

Community
The Community criterion considers how well implementation of the project addresses community
needs and interests. Scoring is based on whether the project will address feedback received from
public engagement surveys, as well as the proximity and connectivity of the project to identified
Community Activity Centers. Public engagement results and Community Activity Center locations
are noted in the Screening Tool. Scoring descriptions are shown in Table 21.

3.4 City Plan s
As part of the City's Long-Range Planning efforts, the city has developed and adopted the Vision
Zero Action Plan and Active Modes Plan to establish a safer transportation network for all users.
3.4.1. Vision Zero Action Plan Alignment
The City of Fort Collins has embraced the Vision Zero approach to transportation safety,
reaffirming its commitment to creating streets where no one is at risk of losing their life or
sustaining serious injuries. In April 2023, the Vision Zero Action Plan was adopted. Through
coordination during the TCPPS, the project recommendations align with the high injury network
and the recommended treatment types outlined in the Vision Zero Action Plan. Approximately half
of the project recommendations are along the high injury network.
3.4.2. Active Modes Plan Alignment
The Active Modes Plan was adopted in December 2022. The project teams from both the Active
Modes Plan (AMP) and TCPPS collaborated to align criteria and project recommendations
throughout the TCPPS process. The project locations selected within the TCPPS process
incorporate recommendations from the Active Modes Plan, aligning with the City's vision for the
future. Specific recommendations include the addition of separated bicycle lanes, protected
intersections, access management, updated pedestrian crossings, leading pedestrian intervals
(LPIs), medians, recommended signal improvements, refuge islands, road diets, and lane
narrowing.
3.5 Phase 2 Results
The total score for each project is calculated by applying a weighting scheme to each scoring
criterion and summing the values. The weighting scheme primarily emphasizes improving safety
and enhancing multimodal features at each project location, with a secondary focus on projects
that are "ready" for construction, benefit multiple departments within Fort Collins, and provide
equitable solutions across the area. While other criteria, such as delay, growth, cost and
community, remain important, they are not the primary factors for prioritizing projects at this stage.
The weighting scheme used is outlined in Table 22.

4.1 Concept Design
Conceptual designs have been prepared for the projects listed in Table 24. These designs, drawn
using aerial imagery as basemaps, show proposed solutions that align with the project goals. The
designs use existing parcel lines and achieve a feasible solution that balances impacts and costs.
All projects primarily focus on implementing safe solutions for all modes of travel, with an
additional emphasis on enhancing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. The following section
provides a summary of the goals and general focus for each project type. Appendix D includes
conceptual design figures.
4.1.1. Road Diets
Three of the conceptual designs fall under the road diet category. The general scope of this project
type was to reduce the number of lanes on the existing 4 or 5 lane roadway sections to 3 lanes
while incorporating separated bicycle facilities. The primary focus of these improvements is to
provide a low cost implementation by utilizing flexible delineators and other protective measures
to achieve the road diet and positive separation for bicyclists along the facility. These projects
involve no right-of-way (ROW) acquisition, minimal easements and utility impacts. Limited
concrete work may be necessary at certain locations along the corridor. Given the existing
pavement width, concrete and temporary treatments to narrow the typical section at targeted
locations were included to effectively reduce vehicle speeds using design elements.
For future considerations, streetscape-style projects can be explored, incorporating design
elements such as sidewalk-grade bike lanes, raised medians, roundabouts, and other features
as part of a final or future solution. It is important to make efforts in the current design to identify
the future typical section and any constraints to align the temporary and future corridors.
4.1.2. Intersection Improvements
Many of the recommendations focused on intersection improvements, which can be further
categorized into two types: simpler signal upgrades and more complex geometric changes. Signal
upgrade projects primarily involve modifying the existing phasing, extending mast arms, or
upgrading cabinets to enhance safety at the intersection. These projects typically require minor
to no right-of-way (ROW) acquisition, have minimal impacts on utilities, and pose lower
environmental concerns.
Another category of intersection improvements includes geometric modifications. These projects
aim to incorporate elements from TCPPS and the Active Modes Plan, such as protected
intersections, sidewalk-grade bike lanes, or separated bike lanes, while also improving safety and
signal operation at the intersection. These projects generally require minor to medium right-of-
way (ROW), have medium utility impacts, and pose lower environmental concerns, primarily due
to their location within urban environments.
Page 132
Item 3.
9207 - Transportation Capital Project Prioritization Study
July 2023
33
As the intersection projects progress to the next phase, it is recommended to conduct further
studies on signal operational improvements to ensure a balance between safety for all users and
congestion management. Additionally, it is advised to reassess the role of medians in terms of
access control and safety, particularly on 5-lane sections, and explore potential enhancements in
these areas.
4.1.3. Corridor Improvements
For this current round of prioritization, one project is classified as a Corridor Improvement. The
Prospect Road Corridor project aims to enhance the transportation infrastructure by adding off -
street bicycle facilities and restriping the existing facility to accommodate four lanes.
During the planning of this project, a significant natural area on the corridor has been taken into
consideration. Strategic locations along the corridor have been identified to minimize impacts
while incorporating the off-street bike facility. Efforts are being made to ensure that the project
design considers the preservation and conservation of the natural area.
4.1.4. New Construction
The new construction project type includes projects that are either entirely located in undeveloped
areas, involve grade separations, or encompass significant widening from the existing cross
section. These projects incorporate recommendations from the Master Street Plan and AMP, such
as the inclusion of separated bike facilities or side paths, as well as the identification of suitable
locations for roundabouts or protected intersections.
For this project type, it is assumed that right-of-way (ROW) dedication and/or Transportation
Capital Expansion Fee (TCEF) contributions from adjacent developments are necessary to
ensure the project's viability from a cost-benefit perspective. Since these projects involve capacity
additions, it is recommended to conduct a thorough study of long-term traffic forecasts prior to the
next phase of design to confirm the appropriate typical section. Initial ROW requirements and cost
estimates were generated using LCUASS typical sections. Further study of the typical section is
advised before the next phase to optimize multimodal benefits within the corridors.
4.2 Cost Estimation
High-level cost estimates have been prepared for each recommended project, encompassing
construction, right of way, utility relocation, engineering fees, and construction administration
costs. These estimates are derived from historical city cost data, providing a reliable basis for
understanding the projected expenses associated with each project.
As mentioned in the previous section, certain projects may require contributions from the
Transportation Capital Expansion Fee (TCEF) or right-of-way (ROW) dedication to ensure their
economic feasibility. This information is summarized on the project summary sheets for each
individual project in Appendix D.

4.3 Environmental Study
Olsson completed a desktop review of publicly available datasets to identify potential
environmental resources within expected project boundaries of individual projects. The objective
of the review was to evaluate each project for impacts to environmental features and possible
environmental risks. The desktop review was completed by investigating publicly available
datasets, which depict the potential locations of a variety of environmental resources. The
datasets were compiled in a geographic information system (GIS), and map figures are included
in Appendix E. The following publicly available resources were used to complete the desktop
review:
• Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database (USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service [NRCS] 2018)
• Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW). 2022. Non-Disclosure Agreement Nest Data
• USGS 2022 National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). U.S. Dept. of the Interior, U.S.
Geological Survey
• National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), Version 2 (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service [USFWS]
2020)
• Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission (COGCC) SB 181 High Priority Habitat (HPH) (2022)
• U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Gap Analysis Project (GAP) 2022, Protected Areas
Database of the United States (PAD-US) Version 3.0
• City of Fort Collins Natural Areas 2022
• National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) Larimer County, FEMA Floodplain 2022
Based on the desktop review of these resources, individual projects have been categorized
according to perceived environmental impacts and need for further analysis, as described below.
Three categories were used to summarize the environmental risk based on this initial desktop
review. The Low-Risk category indicates no environmental features were observed within the
project impact area. The Medium-Risk category indicates that wildlife resources or a raptor
nesting boundary was observed intersecting with the project area of impact, but no wetlands or
other water resources including potentially jurisdictional Waters of the United States (WOTUS)
were observed within the project area. The High-Risk category indicates that wetlands or other
water resources including potentially jurisdictional Waters of the United States (WOTUS) were
observed within the project area and may include other observed environmental features within
the project area.
Field visits should be conducted for individual projects where one or more environmental factors
potentially impact the site has been observed. The need for an additional Environmental Database
Report (EDR) was determined based on the level of anticipated surface impacts for an individual

After the completion of Phase 3, the conceptual designs, cost estimates and environmental screening for
each of the recommended projects was used to update the scores to reflect the most current information.
The revised project scoring summary is shown below in Table 25. These scores are intended to reflect
the priority of project relative to each other and is not intended to be a prescriptive order in which projects
shall be executed. Certainly, as funding becomes available or opportunities to collaborate with other work
within public right-of-way, projects may be executed independent of the ranking below.

5.2 Funding
Capital projects are selected and funded through the Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) process. Through
the BFO process, projects apply for funding with the City and have a larger chance of success if the
project aligns with the City’s goals. Currently projects that score high in this process improve safety,
promote mode shift in alignment with the climate action plan, or collaborate with projects from department.
Additionally, projects that can bring outside funding from partners or State or Federal funding are view
as highly favorable to implement. The BFO process occurs every 2 years, in which projects are submitted
to City Council for recommendation and selection.
Many capital projects are funded by outside grants, and given the recommended improvements in TCPPS,
there will be several opportunities to bring outside funding to the table for consideration in the BFO process.
If projects qualify for grants, the BFO traditionally will approve the matching amount off-cycle. The following
is a list of grants that are most relevant to transportation capital projects and should be pursued. They are
categorized by the source of the funding pool.
5.2.1. Federal
These are available from budget allocated to various transportation related administration (FWHA, FRA,
etc) are administered either through the North Front Range MPO or directly with the federal agency. It
should be noted that these funds bring with them various requirements and administrative duties beyond
that of a locally funded project and should be pursued strategically such that the size and scope of the
project is large enough to realize economy of scale and therefore absorb the additional cost to administer
the project.

5.2.2. State
Colorado is fortunate to have financial support for transportation projects specifically funded through state
government. Senate Bill 2021_260 appropriated funds from the American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) to
specifically fund projects for the state’s transportation network. Additionally, CDOT administers several
grants supported by other federal or state sources. Below is a list of programs that stem from that funding
sources.
• Revitalizing Main Street (RMS)
• Transportation Alternatives (TAP)
• Multimodal Operations Fund (MMOF)
• Safe Routes to School
5.2.3. Local
The City of Fort Collins also administers several funding sources for transportation capital projects. These
have risen from the City’s vision to fund and build a world-class transportation system.
Transportation Capital Expansion Fee (TCEF)
This program, which is funded by fees collected from new development or redevelopment is used to
support transportation projects to expand the system in response to additional trips associated with
development. Several projects in northeast Fort Collins, including the new segments along Timberline
Road and Suniga Road, are candidates to receive funding from this source.
Community Capital Improvement Program (CCIP)
Funded by a voter-approved quarter-cent sales tax, the CCIP supports several infrastructure projects
including arterial intersection construction and bike and pedestrian infrastructure. This has been a primary
source for arterial street projects. Note that these funds are currently programmed for projects; however,
it is set to expire in 2025 at which point the next round of projects can be identified and sourced from,
among other lists, the TCPPS project list.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND OVERVIEW
Thank you to all participants in the project, especially Fort Collins residents who provided
valuable insight into the city’s transportation system. Participants’ time, technical expertise, and
guidance was critical to the development of the Transportation Capital Projects Prioritization
Study.
Good public engagement lies at the heart of successful planning. It is a conversation by one
side that has the technical understanding to help problem solve and by the other side that has
the real-world knowledge of a place. It is collaborative, engaging, personal, and it involves much
listening.
In the end, a good plan is developed with the community, and not just for it. The Transportation
Capital Projects Prioritization Study (TCPPS) was developed with the community and
stakeholders. Through a series of online and in-person engagement opportunities, the planning
team was able to collaborate with the community on the thoughts, ideas, and comments that
became the recommendations put forth in the TCPPS. As a result, the TCPPS is better for it.

1. P UBLIC ENGAGEMENT PLAN
To ensure mutual understanding and an organized engagement process, the planning team
prepared a Public Engagement Plan (PEP) for the TCPPS at the beginning of the project. As
the PEP was an ever-changing document throughout the TCPPS, the most recently updated
version of the PEP is included on the pages that follow. The PEP supported and reinforced the
principles and goals of the official City of Fort Collins Public Engagement Guide.
The PEP included the following sections:
· General Guidelines. Set forth procedures for reviewing and controlling the quality of
public engagement materials and how public engagement work was to be shared
between the city and Olsson.
· PEP Snapshot. Provided a brief overview of key city contacts for the project, the
purpose of engaging the public on the TCPPS, and a list of project stakeholders.
· Phase 1: Quantitative Analysis. Detailed the key messages for the public during
Phase 1 of the TCPPS, as well as the tools and techniques to inform and consult with
the public. Phase 1 included tools such as social media, newsletters, press releases,
Our City TCPPS webpage updates, a public survey, and more.
· Phase 2: Qualitative Analysis. Noted the key message for the public during Phase 2 of
the TCPPS, as well as the tools and techniques to inform the public. Phase 2 included
tools such as social media, the Our City TCPPS webpage updates, and more.
· Phase 3: Concept Design. Stated the key message for the public during Phase 3 of the
TCPPS, as well as the tools and techniques to inform and consult with the public. Phase
3 included tools such as a virtual public open house, social media, newsletters, Our City
TCPPS webpage updates, and more.
· Schedule. Presented the detailed PEP schedule as a supplement to the overall project
schedule.
The complete PEP is included in Appendix A Public Engagement Plan.

Multiple media outlets were utilized to ensure the public was aware of the opportunities to be
involved in the TCPPS. Such outlets included a dedicated Our City TCPPS website, various
social media accounts, press releases, newsletters, email blasts, and an in-person open house.
2 .1 O ur City TCPPS Webpage
A webpage (https://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps) via Fort Collins’ Our City platform was created to
provide a landing page for anyone interested in learning about the TCPPS. The webpage was
available in both English and Spanish.
The webpage provided information on a variety of topics related to the TCPPS, including:
· A project overview, which detailed the purpose of the TCPPS;
· A project timeline of the phases of the project;
· Key dates;
· A listing of the different ways to engage with the project as a member of the public, (e.g.,
public survey, virtual public open house, etc.);
· Project downloads that summarized public engagement findings;
· A way to sign up for project notifications; and
· A listing of which city staff members and Olsson employees were appropriate project
contacts, alongside their contact information.
The webpage (see Figure 1) was regularly updated throughout the TCPPS to be used as a
community information resource. Primary updates included public survey and virtual public open
house promotions.
As of February 15, 2022, the webpage was:
· Viewed 1,400 times;
· Visited by a maximum of 70 visitors per day; and
· Primarily visited via direct webpage URL access.

The first press release was on April 15, 2021 and read as follows:
Residents asked for input on transportation planning project
FORT COLLINS – The City of Fort Collins and Larimer County are seeking public input
to help guide future transportation projects in the City’s Growth Management Area.
The opportunity is part of the Transportation Capital Projects Prioritization Study
(TCPPS), an effort that will result in a list of key transportation improvement projects for
which the City will seek future funding.
Residents are invited to complete a two-part survey at http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps.
Part 1 asks a series of questions about personal usage and perceived quality of
transportation infrastructure for all modes of travel (automobiles, bicycles, walking, and
transit). Part 2 of the survey asks respondents to identify locations of safety or
congestion issues for each mode of travel. Participants can upload pictures of the safety
and congestion locations to provide more detail in their response.
Additional opportunities for public input will be announced later in the project.
Overall, the TCPPS will analyze safety and congestion data for intersections and arterial
roadways such as Drake Road, Shields Street, and Timberline Road, and not local
neighborhood streets. While previous planning efforts like the Transportation Master
Plan will be used as touchpoints to include multimodal improvements, the intent is not to
update those existing documents.
For more information and resources about the project, visit
http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps.
The second press release was on October 15, 2021 and read as follows:
Residents asked for input on transportation planning project
FORT COLLINS – The City of Fort Collins and Larimer County are seeking public input

prioritization criteria that will be used to rank and determine the final list of transportation
improvement projects.
The virtual open house will also be the final opportunity to complete the TCPPS public
survey, which asks respondents to identify locations of safety or congestion issues for
each mode of travel.
Overall, the TCPPS will analyze safety and congestion data for intersections and arterial
roadways such as Drake Road, Shields Street, and Timberline Road, and not local
neighborhood streets. While previous planning efforts like the Transportation Master
Plan will be used as touchpoints to include multimodal improvements, the intent is not to
update those existing documents.

2.4 N ewsletters
Two rounds of newsletters were published by the city and various organizations during the
TCPPS. Newsletters were used to formally announce milestones in the project’s process,
encourage the public to engage with the project, and directed those interested to the TCPPS
webpage for more information. Information about the TCPPS was published in City News,
Momentum, Transfort, and Development Review.
The first round of newsletters introduced the TCPPS, explained the intent and purpose of the
project, and asked residents to take the public survey via the TCPPS project webpage. The
second round of newsletters advertised the virtual open house and public survey as the key
engagement opportunities for the project.
2.5 C ommunity Partners Email Blast
In coordination with the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment, an email blast
was sent out to various community partners regarding the TCPPS. The email blast introduced
the project and its scope, explained why public input was important to the planning process, and
explained and encouraged those interested to take the public survey via the TCPPS project
webpage.
2.6 I n-Person Open House Table
To capitalize on another transportation-oriented city project, the TCPPS hosted an informational
and engagement table at a public open house for the West Elizabeth Corridor Design Project on
July 9, 2021 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. near Canvas Stadium. The West Elizabeth Corridor
Design Project is a coordinated effort between the City of Fort Collins, Transfort, and Colorado

State University to do preliminary designs for Bus Rapid Transit service along the West
Elizabeth Street corridor.
The TCPPS project table was staffed and included two posterboards as well as a flyer about the
public survey (available in both English and Spanish), as shown in Figures 2 and 3. An
additional flyer was handed out to those that did not have time to engage with the TCPPS at the
table, which included a QR code to take the public survey later via the TCPPS project webpage.

3. V IRTUAL OPEN HOUSE
A TCPPS virtual open house was held from October 14-31, 2021, available via the TCPPS
project webpage in both English and Spanish. The purpose of the virtual open was to provide a
robust project progress update, display analysis findings via interactive web maps, garner
feedback on the draft prioritization criteria, and encourage viewers to take the public survey if
they had not yet done so.
The virtual open house included the following webpages, images of which follow:
· Home/Welcome. Provided an overview of the virtual open house and the webpages to
follow.
· Sign In. Asked participants to (optionally) sign in to the virtual open house and enter
themselves into a drawing for one of four $25.00 Noco Nosh gift cards.
· Project Overview.
o Explained the TCPPS and its two-phase project approach: (1) quantitative and
qualitative analysis of existing transportation conditions within the city and (2)
prioritization of the identified transportation improvement projects.
o Displayed an interactive web map of the TCPPS study area, identifying
signalized intersections, unsignalized intersections, arterial road segments, and
the city’s Growth Management Area.
· Progress to Date.
o Described the methodology behind the Tier 1 Intersection Screening and
displayed an interactive web map of the top 50 intersections within the TCPPS
study area that experience the highest traffic crash frequencies and congestion
levels. (The project team combined this excess traffic crash cost with an excess
user delay cost to create an overall excess cost to determine which intersections
need the most attention.)
o Described the methodology behind the Tier 1 Road Corridor Segment Screening
and displayed an interactive web map of the top 50 road corridor segments within
the TCPPS study area that experience the highest traffic crash frequencies. (This
data was used in conjunction with the arterial intersection safety and congestion
analysis to identify places that should be prioritized for improvements.)
o Explained what tasks were to be included in the Tier 2 Analysis.
· Draft Prioritization Criteria.
o Presented the draft criteria that was used to evaluate and prioritize transportation
improvements projects. The draft criteria were presented as follows:
Peak Hour Delay Reduction: Reduction in average delay per vehicle
across all peak hours
Page 167
Item 3.
Transportation Capital Projects Prioritization Study Public Engagement Summary
February 2022
9
Crash Reduction: Reduction in crashes per year
Overall Cost: Considers overall costs (monetary or otherwise) including
construction cost, complexity, duration, right-of-way impacts, and utility
impacts
Growth: Expected traffic growth that could indicate future operational
issues
Active Modes Compatibility: Addresses how the improvements' impact
on safety and accessibility for active modes (walking, biking, and taking
transit) and verifies alignment with current active mode plan(s)
Funding Availability: Addresses the potential to receive federal or state
funding or the ability to share costs with other agencies like CDOT and
Larimer County
Compatibility with Other Projects: Addresses the potential to support
other public infrastructure or private development projects
Equity: Addresses whether implementing improvements enhance
transportation in areas of underserved or disadvantaged communities
using U.S. Census data
Public Engagement: Addresses whether implementing improvements
addresses feedback received from the public engagement surveys
o Asked participants to rank the importance of the draft prioritization criteria by
selecting their top five most important criteria via an embedded survey.
o Asked participants if any criteria were missing from the draft list.
· Public Survey. Encouraged participants to take the public survey via the TCPPS project
website if they had not yet done so.
· Thank You. Thanked the participants for their participation and input and provided a
contact form to ask questions, which were directed to Dana Hornkohl, City of Fort Collins
Capital Projects Manager/TCPPS Project Manager.
The virtual open house was attended by 69 unique individuals during 83 site sessions. Sixty of
the site sessions were via desktop computer, whereas 23 were via mobile access. Traffic levels
to the virtual open house varied over its lifetime but experienced a peak from October 19-21,
2021, as seen in Figure 4.

Figure 5. Draft Prioritization Criteria Survey Results
In response to the survey question about what criteria may be missing, the following responses
were received:
“Compatible with alternative transportation (bikes and pedestrian)”
“Priority should be given to projects that encourage people to stop using personal motor
vehicles.”
“This may be covered by your ‘Active Modes Compatibility’ but something related to meeting the
City's professed climate action goals and reducing vehicle miles driven. Congestion happens in
cities and isn't the end of the world - reducing congestion during peak hours shouldn't even be
on this list considering what's in City Plan.”

4. P UBLIC SURVEY
The primary public engagement tool for the TCPPS was the public survey, available via the
TCPPS project webpage. The intent of the public survey was to gather information regarding
transportation issues (broken down by mode: biking, walking, driving, and taking transit) within
Fort Collins and its Growth Management Area. Incorporating a public survey into the TCPPS
process acknowledged that a transportation network and its potential issues cannot be fully
understood by data alone. Those people that use the transportation system every day can
provide valuable input into what is working and what is not working within the system. The
public survey allowed the planning team to capture such knowledge and sentiments.
Note that the TCPSS public survey was not intended to be statistically significant survey, but
significant effort was made to encourage residents to take the survey via the outreach and
marketing tools detailed in Section 2 – Marketing and Outreach. Additionally, the planning
team coordinated and cross-marketed with the ongoing Fort Collins Active Modes Plan, Safe
Routes to School interest group, and the Larimer County Department of Health and
Environment to ensure a wide range of public responses to the survey.
The public survey utilized Our City’s (Bang the Table) Places tool, which allows participants to
place pins on an interactive web map to identify and comment on specific geographic locations.
The map is updated in real-time so that all respondents can view all live responses. Once a pin
is placed, a viewer can click on the pin and read the associated comment.

Instructions for the public survey were as follows:
· To complete this exercise, click on the plus icon ("add pin") on the left side of the screen.
Four pin options will appear, including one for walking, biking, driving, and taking transit.
Please drag and drop each pin type onto the map of Fort Collins and its Growth
Management Area to identify locations where you notice and experience safety or
congestion related issues for each mode of travel. Once you place a pin, please add a
comment to describe the issue you're highlighting.
· Please note that this study only focuses on arterial roadways (major roadways like Drake
Road, Timberline Road, etc.) and not local neighborhood streets. Identify issues related
to arterial intersections and roadways.
· Map Legend:
· Examples issues to think about are provided by mode below:
o Example Walking Issues
Crossing roadways without using a pedestrian facility like a crosswalk
Crossing roadways or walking on the shoulder due to the absence of a
sidewalk or curb ramps
Frequent jaywalking
Large groups of pedestrians cross a street (schools, entertainment areas,
etc.)
Non-existent pedestrian facilities
Too narrow of pedestrian facilities
o Example Biking Issues
Cyclists traveling in the same lane as automobiles (i.e., not in a
designated bike lanes)
Cyclists traveling on the shoulder due to the absence of bike
lanes/facilities
Large number of traveling cyclists, creating congestion along the roadway
Poor visibility for bicyclists
o Example Driving Issues
Drivers running red lights or stop signs
Drivers traveling faster than the posted speed limit
Obstructed sight distances
Drivers dangerously passing vehicles/buses/transit
o Example Transit Issues

· If you prefer, you can upload a photo of the location with your map pin. It is
recommended to have these photos ready before starting this survey.
Respondents received a thank you email from Dana Hornkohl, City of Fort Collins Capital
Projects Manager/TCPPS Project Manager, on December 9, 2021 for their participation in the
virtual open house and/or public survey.
4.1 P articipation
The public survey was widely utilized by the Fort Collins community. The public survey was
accessed by 472 visitors, contributed to by 166 unique people, and received 1,020
pins/comments.
SAMPLE PUBLIC SURVEY COMMENTS
“Lack of crosswalk; Need for more crosswalks up and down Mulberry. There are lots of
us who literally live across the street from Old Town and could easily bike and walk to
downtown. The current situation encourages jaywalking across five lanes of traffic.”
“Poor shoulders on Kechter east of Timberline. A bike lane should be added in this
area.”
“Cars cannot see bikes on sidewalk and do not look south to enter College - they
routinely do not stop; the view is obstructed by the Budget Inn.”

The highest number of survey responses were received from residents that self-associate with
the 80525 zip code (34.7% of survey respondents), followed in decreasing number by 80524
(25.4% of survey respondents), 80521 (19.5% of survey respondents), 80526 (13.6% of survey
respondents), and lastly by 80528 (6.8% of survey respondents).
Table 1. Public Survey Zip Code Analysis compares the population of each zip code to the
percentage of survey respondents that self-associated with each zip code to understand if the
public survey captured respondent opinions in each zip code proportionate to the actual zip
code population. It was found that 80521 was slightly overrepresented in the survey results,
80524 was overrepresented, 80525 was overrepresented, 80526 was underrepresented, and
80528 was underrepresented. The margin of error ranged from being seven percent
overrepresented to 9.7 percent underrepresented. Such response rates in relation to actual zip
code population are reasonable to expect with a survey of this type.

4.2 Findings
Once the public survey officially closed on February 15, 2022, the planning team downloaded all
results and began analysis of the survey responses. Each of the 1,020 received pins/comments
were read and organized by 16 different tags, based on the content of the comment. Comments
received more than one tag if the comment applies to multiple tags. The tags are as follows:
· Level of Stress Concern: Cases where poor quality of service of the transportation
system causes stress to the extent that people choose not to use it altogether and use a
more favorable alternative.
· Sidewalk / Bike System Continuity Concern: Cases where there are physical gaps
and rough edges to the multimodal network that go against the expectations of the
bicyclists and pedestrians.
· Multimodal Concern: Cases where there is a conflict between one or more modes of
transportation in a shared space (e.g., pedestrians concerned about an intersection
being designed to favor motorists unequally over other multimodal forms of transport).
Page 174
Item 3.
Transportation Capital Projects Prioritization Study Public Engagement Summary
February 2022
16
· Traffic Delay Concern: Cases where traffic delay is perceived as unacceptable.
· Queueing Concern: Cases where traffic queues are perceived as unacceptable.
· Timing / Detection Concern: Cases where there are perceived timing and/or
coordination and/or lack of assumed warranted detection issues for any one mode of
transportation.
· Pedestrian Crossing Concern: Cases where concerns regarding existing pedestrian
crossings and the need for crossings that do not exist.
· School Zone / Event Concern: Cases where areas experience excessive delay and
queues during specific peaks during the day like school release times and sporting
events.
· Traffic Calming Concern: Cases where traffic (motorists or bicyclists) is too aggressive
or fast, and that physical measures like speed bumps, roundabouts, or physical
separation of traffic flows should be installed.
· Striping / Roadway Geometry Concern: Cases regarding the striping and/or
geometrical configuration of the transportation network.
· Bike Crossing Concern: Cases regarding bike crossings at intersections, railroad
crossings, and crossing bike trails.
· Driver Expectancy / Signage Concern: Cases regarding roadway signage and the
general miscommunication of what vehicle drivers’ / bicyclists’ / pedestrians’
expectations are versus the expectations of other drivers / bicyclists / pedestrians.
· Lighting / Weather Concern: Cases regarding transportation system accessibility
during nighttime and/or inclement conditions like weather events, debris, snow, and
other hazards.
· Sight Distance Concern: Cases in which there is either improper sight distance or
there is a lack of visual awareness of a user of the transportation system.
· Equity / Diversity / Inclusion Concern: Cases in which there is a perceived gap in the
transportation system that may place certain groups over others in an unjust
disadvantage.
· Significant Safety Concern: Cases that emphasize imminent safety issues ranging
from fatal accidents, near-misses, and expected severe accidents.
Figure 7 lists the number of times each tag was applied to a received comment and the
percentage of all comments that the tag was applied to. The most predominant tags were
“Sidewalk/Bike System Continuity Concern” at 32 percent of all comments, “Pedestrian
Crossing Concern” at 28 percent of all comments, “Traffic Calming Concern” at 27 percent of all
comments, and “Bike Crossing Concern” at 16 percent of all comments. Active mode concerns
clearly are important to the Fort Collins community, especially as they relate to potential
transportation improvement projects.

Figure 7. Public Survey Comments Breakdown by Tag
The following list summarizes trends noted in the public survey responses:
1. The MAX bus system is undependable and lacks multimodal connections east-west of
the MAX terminals, which prevents a wider demographic of residents from using the
MAX.
2. The residents in southwest Fort Collins along the Trilby Road corridor and northeast Fort
Collins along Vine Drive are disconnected from the greater Fort Collins
bike/pedestrian/transit network.
3. There is great desire to have more east-west connectivity for multimodal travel across
College Avenue. People feel as though College Avenue is a “concrete canyon” that
divides the city.

4. The number of comments requesting for traffic calming is much higher than comments
concerned with vehicle delays.
5. Vehicle queues are the largest concern at fast-casual dining and coffee shops that stack
across bike/pedestrian crossings as vehicles are likely to be less cognizant of the
crossing as cars in queue block the sight distance for the crossing. Enhanced signage
may help here if the queues themselves cannot be addressed.
6. A desire exists to have traffic calming measures along residential minor arterials
including sidewalk bulb-outs to decrease crossing distances, road diets that reuse
through lanes as bikeways/bus-only lanes, and more physical separation between cars
and bikes/pedestrians.
7. Striping on multi-use paths is greatly appreciated on curves with short sight distances.
8. Most comments concerning equity and inclusion were focused on connecting low-
income areas to the multimodal network in addition to ensuring that these connections
are ADA compliant.
9. There is an identified potential for a road diet on West Mulberry Avenue between
Riverside Avenue and Shields. There is little east-west delay in this typical four-lane
section with no bike routes. There is interest in a major east-west bike connection.
To further understand and illustrate the public survey findings, the planning team created an
ArcGIS web map. The web map shows each comment as an icon, broken down into each
mode: biking, walking, driving, and taking transit. On the web map, a user can view any or all
the modes. Within each mode category, the comments are further organized by the 16 tag
categories. Again, a user can view any or all the tagged mode comments. Figures 8 through 11
illustrate the tagged breakdown of each mode of comments.
Each of the 1,020 comments received via the public survey are recorded in Appendix C
Complete Public Survey Responses Record.

The neighborhoods that utilize this crosswalk include Greenbriar, evergreen, and greenbrier village. We are unable to use any other crosswalk to cross Lemay. This crosswalk is just outside of the school zone. Very often drivers do not stop when the lights are flashing. With the congestion at pick-up drop-off at Tavelli from limited busing, and even last year when bussing was at normal function, this crosswalk could use attention. I have many suggestions and would love to talk more about this. I’m in contact with out SRO. Apr 17 21 10:55:19 am40.60720854 -105.0615907813 Quail Run, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-42310DrivingThe traffic on Willox has increased since we moved here 7 yrs ago. Drivers go above the 30 mph speed limit. I would love to see speed bumps installed like on Swallow and Elizabeth. Those have done a great job in reducing speeds, I’ve observed. People and families with kids have to wait until there is no traffic to cross to and from the park. Drivers do not see the crosswalks until they’re through them. Drivers will sometimes even go around a car that stops for the crosswalk. Apr 23 21 10:09:21 am40.58003057 -105.0959015635 South Shields Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-42698Biking Shields from LaPorte south to Laurel is unsafe for biking due to lack of bike lanes/roadway space to share with motor vehicles.Apr 23 21 10:10:55 am40.56880095 -105.11497741551 South Taft Hill Road, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-42699Biking Taft Hill Road from Laporte south to Prospect is unsafe for biking due to lack of bike lanes/roadway space to share with motor vehicles.Apr 23 21 10:16:01 am40.55267851 -105.13383872555 South Overland Trail, Fort Collins, Colorado 80526, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-42700BikingUnsafe intersection, primarily for bicyclists being the more vulnerable road users. Motorists are also somewhat confused and therefore not safe. Traveling south on Overland Trail all traffic is required to yield to northbound traffic. There is one roadsign indicating this, which is part of the confusion. Biking north through that intersection on Overland, most motor vehicle traffic does yield but it's clear from looking at them they are confused. Some traffic does not yield. Eventually there will be a serious or fatal bicycle casualty at this intersection.Apr 23 21 10:17:50 am40.56715465 -105.0856018545 West Prospect Road, Fort Collins, Colorado 80526, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-42701Biking Prospect going east is unsafe for biking due to lack of bike lanes/roadway space to share with motor vehicles.Apr 23 21 10:22:24 am40.59225225 -105.0768471406 North College Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-42702DrivingCongested and unsafe intersection. Lots of large truck traffic. Heaviest traffic flow is westbound Cheery/Willow traffic turning right (north) on to College. Turn lane just disappears on College resulting in congestion. Signals/signal timing at this intersection DO NOT traffic level safety.Apr 23 21 10:24:17 am40.59213819 -105.0767505223 Willow Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-42703BikingSignal timing unsafe for bicyclists crossing College headed west. Signal is green for very short time (seems like 15 seconds?). Unless the cyclist starts immediately when the signal turns green it is impossible to cross before yellow.Apr 23 21 10:26:46 am40.59538064 -105.0572777622 North Lemay Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-42704Biking Horrible intersection, very congested, very unsafe.

Lots of backups multiple times daily, with resulting poor air quality.

The timing of the signal at Mason seems to be slow (or rarely offers pedestrians a green light?) because there are SO many pedestrians who cross against the light here. At night especially, it's really unsafe. But even during the day, with pedestrians crossing against the light, and with all the traffic coming off of College, it can be a dangerous intersection, trying to keep track of all the various pedestrians, cars, bikes, wheelchairs, etc crossing.Apr 27 21 04:36:35 pm40.58110616 -105.0501966417 South Link Lane, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-42867DrivingThis intersection is confusing and dangerous, especially for out-of-towners. I often need to turn west onto Mulberry from the southern frontage road, and making that left turn is crazy... you're trying to keep an eye on drivers in the frontage road (some of whom are turning onto Mulberry, some of whom are continuing east) and the oncoming Link Lane traffic often doesn't signal...it's chaotic. I'm not sure how to resolve it but it sure needs it!Apr 27 21 04:41:30 pm40.53112967 -105.07439024221 John F Kennedy Parkway, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-42868DrivingOn at least three different occasions, I've been sitting in the left-most lane of the exit road from the post office, trying to turn left onto JFK Parkway, and drivers on JFK Parkway have nearly hit me head-on, thinking that's the entry to the post office (rather than the one-way westbound exit road, where drivers wanting to turn left out of the post office parking lot are asked to use the left lane).May 01 21 08:22:35 am40.53149662 -105.07240534027 Boardwalk Drive, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-42999WalkingI often walk to post office on boardwalk — the crossing at the post office is not marked.

Cars on Mulberry block Mason frequently and Remington occasionally causing north and southbound traffic to be unable to move even when their light is green. I thought this might be due to train backups, but it happens even when there isn't a train.May 02 21 10:10:27 am40.55991697 -105.076654Frontage Road, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-43082DrivingI cannot believe that the city cannot do something, issue tickets for blocking traffic?, to deal with the drive through backup at Raising Canes, Starbucks and the Human Bean. A sign saying "congested area" is not adequate.

Difficult to see oncoming traffic to yield to, since the turn lanes on Harmony obstruct the view from each other. If they were offset more, with a skinnier island next to the turn lane, this would allow a much better line of sight behind the vehicle opposite you as you try to turn left safely.

I think a roundabout would solve it quite easily, and allow for the most flow of traffic as possible. Adding a stoplight on JFK would add to the congestion, while a roundabout would likely be easiest. Also dangerous here for pedestrians trying to cross since it's so busy.

The paint lines for the bike lane make it appear there is a merge lane on Harmony for cars turning right, but there is not. I have seen many people coming out of Corbett cut someone off in the far right lane of Harmony, thinking they had their own lane. The nearby bust stop may be contributing to this confusion. This could possibly be easily solved with some updates/refreshing to the painted road lines or signage as you approach the turn.

If you come off north I-25 and turn left on Harmony, without oncoming traffic and in poor weather, it can be very difficult to clearly see where your lane is (it's a double turn lane). I see they are re-doing the intersection soon, but some paint or cones in the meantime would be helpful. Page 208 Item 3.

Not sure this can be easily/quickly fixed, so hopefully the construction they are doing on this whole interchange will improve that issue.

The lights just need to be timed appropriately with all others in the close area to avoid back-ups. I've sometimes had to sit through 3 green lights at the front because the traffic from I-25 blocked my way forward because they were stopped at the next red light. I know construction is happening right now, but if you can fix the timing of the lights in the short term, that would really help a lot.

The two cars at the same time block the view of oncoming traffic in order to make a safe turn. If the island in between was configured such that the two turn lanes offset each other more, it would make the view much easier to see for both directions in order to make a safe left-hand turn.

If traffic is backed up on Harmony (which sometimes I've seen back to Larkbunting), the only cars which make it through one green light on Harmony are cars that are already east of Mason Street. That's only one block of stacked up cars to get through one green light. If you adjust the timing to allow twice as long for that direction, it would clear a lot of rush hour congestion that stacks up frequently.

This past winter I had to walk in the motorist lane, as a pedestrian, because the sidewalks were covered in deep snow (and they're pretty darn skinny to begin with) and there were work trucks blocking part of the skinny sidewalk and all of the bike lane!

Probably just under half the time a motorist will end up behind me. I always take the lane because the full width of the travel lane really isn't much larger than a bike lane as it is. And there is no bike lane. But what's I'd like here is some sharrows or signs or something that I can point to on the occasions when the person behind me seems upset that I'm slowing them down as they drive through the park.

But when the grass is wet, I'd prefer to walk in the street. (I also bike in this street.) Despite the fact that this is a 10 mph zone, motorists often get frustrated that I'm traveling 8-10 miles in front of them (or even slower as a pedestrian). It would be great to have a multi-use trail through this area. Or at least some on-the-pavement signage reminding people to slow the heck down.

Despite the fact that this intersection is waaaaaay better than it used to be (Thank you, Tessa!), it's still got some problems. Motorists travel a bit slow than they used to, but they're still not always aware that there's a light there that they should be paying attention to. Bulbouts might help here.

Motorists turn too quickly onto Oak (going both directions). Pedestrians have no north-south crosswalk and no east-west crosswalk and speeding motorists that are trying to beat the light on Mountain and aren't paying attention to peds.

I was talking to a City staff-person before and had to show them using Google streets that there was a reduced speed side there because they didn't know it existed. Most drivers not only don't reduce their speed here, but actually speed up to make the light at Loomis. There really should be a roundabout here. There's probably enough room for it. And how many motorists have hit that sidewalk on the southside (west side of Whitcomb)? It looks like it's taken multiple beatings. Clearly something should be done there as well.

Sure, there's now a crosswalk (Thank you, Tessa!) at Sherwood. But going two blocks out of your way just to cross the street is a pain in the butt. And we need something here to slow motorists down anyway. It's a crazy intersection and is terrifying to cross as a pedestrian.

I avoid Mulberry like the plague when biking. BUT, just because I avoid it doesn't mean that the new students that arrive and don't know any better avoid it. I regularly see them here and along Mulberry and they're doing their best to ride in the gutter and get to where they need to be without dying, but heavens! It shouldn't have to be like that in a Platinum Level bike city.

You can't see oncoming traffic from Shields to the north. It used to be you could hug the turn and end up in the right lane while surprise oncoming traffic would end up in the left.

College between ... well about where the MAX line ends all the way south to where the City ends... really needs some sidewalks. I have to walk this section fairly regularly when dropping off or picking up my car from Carl Duke's Volvo shop. I try to stick to the social trails when I can. But there are times when you have to walk in the street. And recently, when some new pipes were being laid, the "bike lane" was blocked such that I had to walk ... as a pedestrian with no armor but my self-fortitude, in the travel lane where motorists are traveling at 50-55 mph coming right at me. It was horrifying. But the service road was entirely blocked to pedestrians and the bike lane, which would have been my alternative, was blocked as well. What. Where. They. Thinking?!!!! Aren't there rules for how that kind of construction should create a protected way for bicyclist and pedestrians so that it's not us against highway speed motorists? Honestly, Fort Collins.

Pedestrians have to hike across about 7 lanes worth of asphalt, and bicyclists often sit through light signals until there's a "helper" car to trip the signal. This intersection would probably be better as a higher-turnover intersection like Mountain & Mathews. It could also use a lane diet on the Laurel faces to slow drivers down due to how many people on foot and bikes use the intersection. The third southbound lane for College is likely unnecessary here, and the cross-sections for Laurel in this section should really be narrowed to 3 lanes (center turn and 1 lane each direction). This is an anchor intersection for campus-oriented bicycle and pedestrian traffic and is not engineered for it There's ample room for buffered bike lanes wider sidewalks (which are need to balanceJun 21 21 05:51:02 pm40.58140765 -105.0788909501 South Mason Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-46052WalkingThis intersection is fairly dangerous for pedestrians due to stressed left turning traffic.

Left turns should really be "on signal only" so peds are protected from drivers who either aren't paying attention or are focusing on oncoming traffic. If we wanted to get really progressive, we would eliminate right turns on red, too although that might be too European for our sensibilities. I actively avoid this intersection when I'm on foot because of how dangerous it is.

Despite the proximity to downtown, there's only a few bike/ped crossings. In general, Mulberry seems to follow the City's rule on arterials that there can only be 2-3 ped crossings per mile - a rule that destroys anything resembling neighborhood connectivity.

You could use roundabouts to deal with the traffic capacity but also calm traffic down. Arterials through downtown areas should ALWAYS have bicycle infrastructure on them. It's okay to, and should be the goal to, slow down the cars to make this happen.

There are too few pedestrian crossings on Mulberry in this mile section west of Meldrum, especially considering the density that lends itself to walking and biking.

The current bicycle action on the bikeway here isn't logical for cyclists because the Mulberry crossing is only on one side of the intersection here. We would never limit cars this way and we shouldn't force people walking and biking into inconvenient, somewhat unsafe, and definitely awkward behavior just because making it safer for vulnerable road users will inconvenience drivers. At least extend the bike lane up to Jackson and have left/north-turning cyclists make more logical movements in more logical places, but frankly, it's past time for Fort Collins to embrace the 3-lane arterial, especially in Old Town which was historically built for pedestrians and transit first, and cars much farther down the priority list. We say we want a 60% rideshare of walking, biking, and transit. We're never going to get there if we keep relying on outdated assumptions that car drivers are the only legitimate road users and all other transportation modes are "amenities."

It does well in giving peds a head start and having a weight sensor for bikes, but it could use pedestrian bulb-outs on Whedbee to pinch the entry into the neighborhoods and signal to drivers to slow down (drivers tend to speed up and down Whedbee, which is highly intimidating to people trying to walk).

To establish connectivity, a crossing is needed, and a logical one, not one of those annoying ones that forces peds and cyclists over to one side of the road. Considering Mulberry travels almost exclusively through neighborhoods west of Riverside, seems like this is a good place to hem the road down to a 3-lane, 30mph configuration. That would do AMAZING things for bicycle and pedestrian connectivity in the downtown area that is otherwise very walkable and bikeable except for the arterial streets.

The road is too wide, the sidewalks too narrow, the traffic too fast.

Traffic volumes are too low to justify the five-lane configuration. This is a natural connective route for people walking and biking to connect with the Spring Creek Trail and Edora, and to get at least most of the way downtown before diverting at, say, Lemay or Myrtle. However, the sidewalks are extremely narrow, never shoveled in winter, and there's no crossings to access businesses or facilities on the east side of the street. Granted, a lot of those are industrial and unlikely to attract much walking and biking traffic, but the west side of Riverside does have those businesses (offices, health care, etc.) and could benefit greatly. Maybe this is a spot to try out a two-way buffered bikeway along the west side of the road, with a handful of strategic crossings where they make sense?

Right now, walking is miserable and biking is deadly (is laughable that there's signs saying bikers are allowed to use the full lane; if they tried it, somebody with a big truck would probably run them over just to make a point). Buffered bike lanes are an easy and logical thing to add here to calm traffic and improve neighborhood connectivity.

The original access is blocked off and there's no curb cut in a reasonable location - cyclists have to know to hop onto the sidewalk on the south side of the river, or make a hairpin turn in the slip lane onto Mulberry. Either improve the wayfinding signage for northbound riders, establish a logically-engineered curbcut here, or ideally both (or just fix the original access point to the south).Jun 21 21 10:38:21 pm40.56708945 -105.0449611725 East Prospect Road, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-46070WalkingThis is generally not a safe intersection for peds because it's too wide and fast and there's low visibility for drivers.

It is too wide and too fast and there's almost zero connectivity across the street for the full mile inbetween arterials.

I know a ped/cycle signal is planned here, but drivers on Parkwood/Columbia are unlikely to respect any restrictions on turning actions (they don't at Pitkin/Lemay) which creates a false sense of security for bicyclists. Better to just rebuild the intersection as fully functional and connect the neighborhoods.

Also, in winter, snow removal on this mile stretch is almost non-existent so this mile of arterial is effectively impassable after snow storms for anybody who's not young and able-bodied.

Lemay, like many other arterial streets, travels almost exclusively past neighborhoods. Any arterial through a neighborhood should be reconfigured to a three-lane with buffered bike lanes and a 30mph speed limit, ideally with roundabouts at key intersections. Our priority should be safety and connectivity, not speed.

This road is screaming for a road diet with buffered bike lanes, separated sidewalks, some City street trees, and roundabouts. People in the neighborhood should feel safe walking to their appointments, not having to drive just to get safely across Lemay. Safety and connectivity first, speed...later or not at all.

Sometimes there's no separation with traffic that is moving at high speeds, and there's often no pedestrian bulbouts on side streets signaling to drivers to slow down as they leave Prospect and giving peds less street to cross.

As it's built now, it severs neighborhood connectivity. We should prioritize connectivity and safety first, and deal with speed later.

The city should consider a road diet and narrowing the street to three lanes with buffered bike lanes at 30mph with roundabouts at key intersections. As this corridor densifies, demands for multi-modal facilities is only going to get worse and unless you're planning on putting all the restaurants in this area up on Lake Street, people are going to want to walk and bike on Prospect.

I regularly use this crossing even if it's out of my way because it's compact (uses pedestrian bulbouts and cuts of the "cheater" right turn action) and has median islands if you don't quite make the crosswalk.

People regularly run red lights on Riverside, and from Lincoln people are desperately trying to turn left, both lead to dangerous crossings for walkers/bikers. Drivers don't seem to recognize there are pedestrians/bikers in the area, since the area looks industrial and purely road-focused.

We live near this intersection and our daughter uses a wheelchair, and even if there are no cars in sight (due to the curve in the road) it is not possible to cross the road without the driver (hopefully) slowing down. Even us crossing on foot or bike is scary. There desperately needs to be a signalized crossing point somewhere along this road -- it is 1.9 miles between the pedestrian signal at Drake/Illinois and the roundabout at Drake/Horsetooth, far too long of a stretch in such a populated area with heavily used trails, sidewalks, and bikeways. With so many people and kids crossing it, and so many fast cars, it's a tragedy waiting to happen.Aug 20 21 08:10:07 am40.55225054 -105.0259227East Drake Road, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-48260WalkingA walk/bike path leads right to this intersection, but there is no crosswalk.

Not sure if it is a visibility issue from the hill or because drivers don't wait for the car in front of them to clear the intersection so they can verify no on-coming bikes are coming or someone is entering the crosswalk. I'd recommend adding a left turn arrow during morning hours as drivers are in a hurry and trying to get across before the light turns red and they have to wait 3 more minutes.Aug 24 21 08:00:16 am40.58935184 -105.12020772224 Laporte Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-48427Walking Pedestrian crosswalk and signal needed at this location.

Why wasn't a bike trail extended from Mason, under College, and safely thru the parking lot, into the mall area, and out the backside onto something low-stress like Stanford, Boltz, Swallow, and Power Trail? Epic fail. The chances of me or anyone else riding a bike to the mall (or really anywhere in midtown) to spend money are exactly zero.

My family lives in the Bucking Horse neighborhood and my students would love to ride their bikes to school to develop some independence. However, as a parent who regularly drives this area at high traffic times during pickup and drop off, I am currently not allowing my children to do this. I am extremely fearful of them being hit by a car while trying to cross Sharp Point from the walking/bike path and onto school property. The traffic congestion during these time periods is immense with cars moving from seemingly every direction at once. Parents are parking on the roadside to walk their kids into school, car line drop off is taking place with parents lined up on both sides of the street waiting to enter the school lot. And then add to it non-school related traffic trying to get around all of this to their destination. There is no crosswalk currently and no school zone sign mandating a lower speed which is unacceptable to me given that most, if not every other school in Fort Collins has an electronic school zone sign in areas where children are having to cross a road to get home or into their parent's vehicle. A crosswalk and electronic school zone sign is absolutely needed in this area to ensure the safety of the children who must cross Sharp Point in order to go to/leave to school.

Many vehicles utilize this road as a cut through to Nancy Gray or to access businesses that are located in the vacinity. There is currently no indication that they are having to pass by an active school in their process. Children and parents are regularly crossing from one side of Sharp Point to the other in order to get onto school property. Their is much vehicle and pedestrian congestion during the times of pickup and drop off. In order to prevent a tragic situation from occurring as has happened all too recently in a school area, I strongly believe that the city must install electronic school zone signs and a designated cross walk to ensure pedestrian safety.Sep 03 21 06:27:57 pm40.55659446 -105.02965092580 Nancy Grey Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-49137DrivingSince the Nancy Gray / Sharp Point Connection was made, the traffic in this area has increased. But the more concerning issue is the speed with which most of the vehicles drive here given that the roadway is straight from the Sharp Point / Mid Point 4 way stop all the way across the RR track to the intersection of Miles House and Nancy Gray. My home is at this intersection and I am constantly witness to drivers not adhering to the 25 mph speed limit. In fact, I would say that many are traveling closer to 35 mph or above. It is my sincere hope that the city will consider installing a 4-way stop at the intersection of Miles House and Nancy Gray so as to slow down the excessive speed of traffic in this area and ensure the safety of the numerous walkers and bikers that frequent this area in order to access the Poudre Trail and other Bucking Horse community pathways.Sep 03 21 06:47:39 pm40.56410644 -105.02971531725 Sharp Point Drive, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-49142Walking My student goes to school here.

Traffic moves far too fast, and is coming around a corner. The only safe way to cross Drake/Ziegler is to go all the way to the signal at Illinois/Drake. There is a future park to be built on Miles House, people need to access the Environmental Learning Center, and there are school-aged kids trying to get to Liberty Common School. A light would be recommended.Sep 04 21 02:35:08 pm40.55516478 -105.02773582482 Miles House Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-49208DrivingThe traffic on Miles House regularly travels 10-25 miles over the speed limit. The traffic seems to be coming from a few different places: 1)Bucking Horse Apartments at Nancy Grey/Miles House, and 2)People exit off of I-25 onto Prospect, and then use Sharp Point and Miles House as a way to cut through this neighborhood when they should really take Prospect to Timberline, then Timberline to Drake. This will become a significant problem when the neighborhood park gets built on Miles House.Sep 04 21 02:37:41 pm40.55656276 -105.02967242580 Nancy Grey Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-49209WalkingAs a runner, crossing Miles House here is a game of Frogger. Cars regularly do not come to a complete stop when either travelling NW into the apartment complex, or turning right from Miles House onto Nancy Grey. I have almost been hit several times.

The combination of school drop-off and pick-up, commercial vehicles, and the blind curve make this an accident waiting to happen.

There are zero speed reduction tactics in place here and many cars, commercial vehicles, and semis regularly travel at speeds as fast over 40mph. With Liberty Common School here, the Poudre Trail nearby, and numerous business turnoffs, this has become untenable.Additionally, many drivers are now exiting from I-25, traveling West on Prospect, turning South on Sharp Point to Nancy Grey, turning Southeast onto Miles House, then turning onto Ziegler. They are doing this to cut through this area in an effort to avoid the lights at Prospect/Timberline and Timberline/Drake. In my opinion, the only way to stop this is to make this route inconvenient via speed bumps, speed cameras, traffic lights, etc. This route needs to become MORE difficult than the more appropriate route of Prospect/Timberline/Drake before drivers will stop doing this. Semis, Concrete Trucks, etc. do not belong in the neighborhood.Sep 04 21 02:50:34 pm40.56702017 -105.02965631601 Sharp Point Drive, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-49214DrivingIt has become impossible to turn from Sharp Point onto Westbound Prospect.

Commercial semis do not belong on these residential streets. Bucking Horse was specifically built with narrow streets. Along with that and the numerous cars parked on the sides of the streets, and many children in this neighborhood, this makes for a very unsafe situation.Sep 04 21 02:56:19 pm40.55617149 -105.03895282100 Katahdin Drive, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-49216DrivingDrivers coming from Southbound Timberline turn onto Katahdin Dr., and travel far too fast through the neighborhood. Usually they are bound for the Sidehill apartment complex. Fast cars, narrow streets, on-street parking, and many children present a very unsafe situation.

I live in Old Town North and frequently visit the Whitewater Park. However there are many obstacles. In between Redwood and Jerome, Vine has missing sections of sidewalk on the north and south sides. Jerome has no sidewalk on the west side. The east side of Jerome is the only way I can access all the Poudre Trail has to offer. The Jerome sidewalk is good but crossing Vine from there is dangerous, especially at high traffic times. There are no curb cuts or sidewalk directly across Vine. Instead I have to go diagonally into the driveway of the metal workers business -- obviously not the safest. The alternative is worse: crossing from the east to west side of Jerome (at the Vine intersection due to no sidewalk on the west side of Jerome) is dangerous because my back is to high speed traffic that sometimes quickly turns right. Plus the tall wooden fence at the northeast corner of Jerome and Vine blocks visibility of cars approaching rapidly on Vine.Sep 05 21 06:41:06 pm40.59580426 -105.068669626 Linden Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-49231WalkingNext to the railroad tracks the sidewalk has a barricade on the southeast side of the intersection.

Lots of people who walk downtown use Myrtle as an east-west access road and the Remington crossing doesn't have any safety features at all.

This might be worth a touch-up engineering add-on to curve up the road a bit and slow drivers down before they hit this. Adding other calming features like narrower intersections and more roundabouts along Laurel and Remington would help as well so drivers in the whole neighborhood are driving slowly and steadily, not like jackrabbits.

This is what I refer to as engineers "checking the box" of a complete street without actually thinking through how normal people walk. 3-sided intersections (in relation to crosswalks) are simply not going to cut it if the goal is to encourage people to walk more - that's not how people walk or bike. In a redesign, make all 4 sides of the intersection crossable on foot.

Taft along this mile as very few crossings, and limited connectivity to the neighborhood shopping centers to the north of the schools and churches and other social institutions in the area. Taft could reasonably be narrowed to 3 lanes with several roundabouts at key collector inputs to keep traffic moving but calmly, and allow for improved, buffered bikelanes and better street crossings.

As others have said, I've had a lot of near misses from left-turning cars crossing College on the north or south face of the intersection, or from cars turning left from College to WB Laporte. I think the easiest solution would just be to give left-turning cars a left-turn signal and only let them turn on that cycle (no at-will left turns).

It's kind of a sleepy intersection for all road users and seems like the traffic light could be removed, intersection reduced in size as much as possible, and relegated to a 4-way stop like Mason & Maple. Waiting for the crosswalk signal is really annoying when there's no cross traffic and lots of folks cross against the signal as a result.

This road had the opportunity to be built for the future we say we want as a multi-modal 2- or 3-lane road with buffered bike lanes and roundabouts to keep traffic slow and steady. Instead we got the same crappy 5-lane highway we've got segregating and severing connections between our neighborhoods throughout the city. Consider retrofitting this with a road diet and safer connectivity across the street.

The courteous NB driver and I had a moment of eye-rolling - it was awkward. I think there needs to be a traffic calming feature farther north to keep traffic from picking up too much speed - a raised crosswalk would also help. Page 264 Item 3.

The intersection still seems kinda wide and I suspect it's because the travel lanes are too wide, plus the striping, like in so many places, encourages drivers to block or invade the bike lane as they approach the 4-way stop. Harden up and narrow the intersection if possible and paint the crosswalks with reflective surfacing.

Anyone taking the bus to Foothills Mall or anything near it needs to go south to use the underpass near Foothills Pkwy. No logical person is going to walk up to Swallow to use the crosswalk. Nobody uses the MAX south of Prospect because south of Prospect, the MAX doesn't connect well to any neighborhoods or destinations. Part of that is because the MAX should be on College Ave where all the stuff is, not on the ass end of the corridor, but if you're going to put it over here, at least ensure there's safe and logical pedestrian connections to key destinations.

Spring Park Dr. needs at least a stop sign. If a roundabout fits, it might be a good candidate, but at least a 4-way stop with pedestrian bulbouts. Even improved streetlights would help.

Mathews St traffic has not stop and there's no crosswalks and poor lighting. It needs improved street lights, and ideally some traffic calming like a 4-way stop with pedestrian bulbouts. This is an access way for the neighborhoods to the south to get to Spring Park and Spring Creek Trail. Oct 30 21 03:23:57 pm40.55248286 -105.0674542550 Stover Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-52143WalkingDangerous for people walking across Drake on Stover, especially at night. Left turning traffic doesn't get a left turn arrow so have had a few near misses at night from left-turning cars. Needs improved lighting on the corners and ideally, left-turning cars held to turning with an arrow only. More comprehensively, if Drake were narrowed to a 3-lane road, this would make an excellent roundabout candidate intersection.

Monroe is the corridor for folks who live to the east to walk/bike to Foothills Mall. Lack of safety/traffic calming features creates an unnecessary barrier because drivers tend to speed through here. Should be either a compact urban roundabout or 3-way stop with pedestrian bulbouts and raised crosswalks.

It doesn't allow for logical walking and reinforces the idea that people who walk are 2nd-class citizens. Add the crosswalk on the west side of the intersection.

Narrow the roadway - the center turn lane isn't needed but sidewalks on both sides and ample pedestrian crossings are to facilitate access from the surrounding neighborhood.

Intersections are where most crashes occur and so bicycle (and pedestrian) infrastructure needs to be present the most, and hardened. A road diet on Horsetooth to 3-lanes, add roundabouts at key intersections, preserving some of the queuing space at College Ave, but adding hardened, protected bike lanes seems the best way to go here.

The vehicle lanes are probably too wide anyway so you can probably "steal" some room from the travel lanes.

There's no crosswalks in this area for folks in the Troutman and Breakwater intersections to connect with other neighborhoods, neighborhood amenities, or commercial services. Adding some raised crosswalks and/or roundabouts would help calm traffic and increase neighborhood connectivity.

Despite there being multiple shopping centers and a grocery store to the west, and lots of housing to the east, there are 0 east-west crosswalks in this area and 0 traffic calming features. There need to probably be 1-2 roundabouts in the area and definitely raised crosswalks to even out the priorities to balance safety for ALL road users. As it stand now, nobody walks because it's dangerous and only a matter of time before FCPD blames some poor person without a choice for their own death because they "weren't in a crosswalk." What crosswalk?

Myrtle Street carries a decent amount of east-west walking and biking traffic and the lack of a crossing here is notable.

Drivers are often speeding and there's no safety infrastructure in any direction. Even if it's not switched to a 4-way stop sign, needs pedestrian bulbouts in all 4 directions and raised crosswalks to help slow down drivers and remind them they're in a neighborhood. Where's the Safe Routes to School person on this one?

Some improved features to help bicyclists to remember where they need to turn (especially eastbound cyclists) would be good. Also might not be a bad spot for traffic calming as drivers do tend to speed on Pitkin in this section. Maybe tightening up the intersection into a compact urban roundabout with some wayfinding for the bikeway would help?Oct 30 21 04:14:04 pm40.56911064-105.0657588800 East Lake Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-52165WalkingThe pedestrian safety along the Lesher MS frontage leaves a lot to be desired. It's great for getting kids from parked cars to the front of the school, but for people walking around or to the school from the neighborhood, the after-dark lighting is marginal, and safety features at intersections marginal to non-existent. Could use a Safe Routes to School audit which would also benefit non-parent households in the neighborhood.

There's conflicting uses between the driveway and the trail access, but I'd doubt the access is ADA compliant as it stands now.

For people walking, it's not logical, especially if they're headed to the commercial/office resources to the southwest, or headed to the Spring Creek Trail to be westbound. For people biking, it's incredibly awkward either direction, but especially southbound traffic (and actually creates a safety risk since drivers aren't typically expecting cyclists to be anywhere but the right-hand side of the road).

They are good at keeping cars moving quickly, and bad for quite literally everything else. They have no business being next to a school - where's your Safe Routes to School staffer on this? Oct 30 21 04:28:08 pm40.56765588 -105.04494491678 Riverside Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-52170BikingReinforcing other comment. Sharrows belong on local streets. Telling cyclists to "take the lane" on multi-lane collector and arterial streets is a safety cop-out because we all know there are too many drivers who will never respect a bicyclist's right to use the road. Riverside is overbuilt for its normal vehicle volume and can easily handle a road diet for improved safety and traffic calming. Oct 30 21 04:29:08 pm40.56242743 -105.04957971425 East Stuart Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-52171Walking Seems like there should be improved pedestrian safety features here considering this is the entrance to one of major city parks and there's a massive neighborhood to the south.

Drivers tend to speed through on Dunbar and approach too quickly on Casa Grande. Crosswalks would help make it safer for folks to cross the street from the neighborhood to get to the park.

This is an awkward intersection for anybody walking and needs the crosswalk on the south intersection face. Oct 30 21 04:36:40 pm40.56926142 -105.09598731408 South Shields Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521, United States http://ourcity.fcgov.com/tcpps/maps/public-survey?reporting=true#marker-52174BikingThere's a logical bikeway connection from Lake up to either Bennett (for Bennett ES) or Springfield (for the bikeway). Neither has a safe left-turn for bicyclists on Shields due to high traffic speeds and volume. One or both should have provisions made for left turning cyclists. Long-term, calm and narrow Shields so riders can just make a left like bikes should. Short-term, create a traffic light with sufficient queuing space for left-turning cyclists.

Ideally, Taft would get narrowed to a 3-lane and you might use roundabouts to calm traffic and establish neighborhood connectivity across Taft. In the short term, creating a bike connection in this section of Taft between Springfield & Lake via some traffic signals might be a decent band-aid.

Seems like a road diet would be helpful. Maybe a roundabout at Mulberry and Taft as well to calm traffic and keep traffic moving well with less road space to maintain?

I know Laporte Ave improvements are coming soon - I hope that includes making collector-on-collector crossings like this safer via pedestrian bulbouts and crosswalks or, if it will fit, a pair of compact urban roundabouts (pseudo-figure eight).

Plus, the pedestrian facility doesn't respond to logical walking movements through a space like this. Intersection design with these offset connections is admittedly difficult - this one's close but not quite and likely needed to narrow Laporte down to 2-lanes so more logical pedestrian action could be accommodated.

I think all of the MAX stops could use a walkability audit to make sure there are clear, safe, and logical connections both to nearby commercial, office, and public venues, as well as to neighborhoods. This stop connects to the federal and CSU offices to the west reasonably well due to the overpass, and has middling access into the parking lot to the east. However, it's effectively inaccessible to anyone living in the South College Heights neighborhood to the east who may be trying to use Rutgers Ave to get there. That's partially because College is hostile/deadly to people walking in this stretch, and partially because the parking lot by Whole Foods has no logical connections for people on foot to get to the bus stop.

It's admittedly a tough one to engineer because of the complexity, but it's gotta be improved to be safe for people walking and biking through adding some pedestrian bulbouts and refuges in the public ROW and working with the shopping center owner to revise their site plan and create safe and logical walking connections through the parking lot.

This could be a really powerful and easy walking connection from South College Heights subdivision into this neighborhood shopping center but College Ave functions as a concrete "canyon" in this section, effectively preventing all but the most desperate/committed from getting across the street without a car.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Olsson has completed an environmental critical issues assessment of multiple individual project
sites included in the Transportation Capital Project Prioritization Study (TCPPS) within the City of
Fort Collins, Colorado. These projects include developed roadways and associated rights-of-way
(ROWs) with proposed future construction activities involving Road Diets, Intersection
Improvements, Corridor Improvements, and New Locations for infrastructure in previously less-
or undeveloped areas. Environmental critical issues assessment activities included desktop
review for 14 project areas with field survey at select locations based on a risk review as described
further in this report. The results of the environmental critical issues assessment described herein
provide a risk screening for potential environmental resource impacts that may be further avoided
and/or require additional site assessment and permitting prior to individual project construction.
A desktop review was conducted for each of the 14 projects considering water features (e.g., if
potentially jurisdictional or non-jurisdictional as a Waters of the U.S. [WOTUS]), wildlife habitat,
floodplain and water drainages, non-historical protected areas, and presence of historical
structures. This information was then used to screen each of project areas in terms of potential
environmental resource impacts, construction timeframe restrictions and/or other anticipated pre-
construction permitting requirements.
Of the 14 project sites, seven were identified as having higher environmental resource impact
and/or permitting requirement risks and a field survey for visual inspection was conducted in
September 2022. Six of these seven sites were visually inspected for water features and wildlife
habitat with the remaining one project area inaccessible due to ongoing construction activities
(i.e., Suniga Road). Field observations were incorporated into the risk screening evaluation as
presented in Appendix A with the following recommendations:
· Four of the seven projects with water features are anticipated to have jurisdictional water
features, however impacts can be avoided through design and/or construction activities
remaining within the individual project areas.
· Two project areas are anticipated to have jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional water
features including potential impacts based on the current individual project areas. An
administrative jurisdictional determination (JD) is recommended for submittal prior to
completing project design. Additional field survey activities may be recommended
depending on the length of time between the September 2022 field survey and initiation
of construction activities (e.g., within approximately one year versus multiple years in the
future).
· It is recommended that for the one remaining site that was inaccessible (i.e., Suniga
Road), a visual field inspection be conducted when accessible to allow further assessment

of existing water features, potential WOTUS jurisdiction, and if potential impacts can be
avoided through the design process, as well as potentially suitable habitat for species of
concern.
Of the 14 project sites, three sites were screened as medium risk based on potential wildlife
habitat. These projects were included in the desktop review with identified potential environmental
impacts limited to past observed bird nests within or in the vicinity of the individual project areas.
These sites were not included for visual inspection as field surveys for the identified species are
recommended closer to design finalization and initiation of construction activities. Restrictive site
activities based on wildlife habitat (e.g., active nests, etc.) are included in this report for the
applicable project sites.
The four remaining sites of the 14 total projects are considered low risk from both a potential
environmental resource impact and potential permitting requirements perspective. These projects
were included in the desktop review and environmental resource impacts were identified not
present within the individual project areas.
Appendix A, Table A. 1 includes summary tables of the 14 project areas sorted by risk category
(e.g., high, medium, and low) with additional detailed information included in Table A.2. Desktop
and field survey methods and results are discussed further in the following sections.
2. METHODS
Desktop Review: A desktop review of publicly available datasets was conducted to identify
potential impacts to water features, and regulated wildlife species and habitats. The following
publicly available resources were used to complete the desktop review:
· U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Gap Analysis Project (GAP; USGS 2011)
· USGS Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) Version 3.0 (USGS
2022)
· USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD; USGS 2020)
· National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), Version 2 (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service [USFWS]
2022a)
· USFWS Information Planning and Consultation (IPaC) tool-generated list of federal-listed
species (USFWS 2022b)
· CPW Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) Nest Data (CPW 2022a)
· Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission
(COGCC) SB 181 High Priority Habitat (HPH; CPW n.d. and COGCC 2019)
· City of Fort Collins Natural Areas 2022
· National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) Larimer County, Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) Floodplain 2021 (FEMA 2021)

· Land Information Locator, Larimar County IT, Enterprise GIS (geographic information
system; Larimer County n.d.)
· Fort Collins History Connection (Fort Collins History Connection 1977)
The collective project areas included within the City of Fort Collins was used to generate the IPaC
Report included in Appendix B (USFWS 2022b). Olsson reviewed mapped raptor nests according
to CPW NDA data to species potentially present across the project areas that are protected under
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and/or the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA).
Additionally, while these projects are not regulated under the COGCC or related to oil and gas
exploration or operation activities, data from COGCC’s HPH has been included in this
environmental critical issues assessment to support identification of trends and needs for current
and future wildlife management. The COGCC dataset has been collaboratively developed with
other agencies including CPW as habitat areas where measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate
adverse impacts to wildlife have been identified to protect breeding, nesting, foraging, migrating,
or other uses by wildlife.
The environmental resource datasets were compiled in a geographic information system (GIS).
Appendix C includes figures for projects with environmental resources identified within their
respective project boundaries.
To evaluate presence of historical buildings within and/or adjacent to individual project area
boundaries, Larimer County assessor data (e.g., 1999 to present) and historical maps (e.g., 1977)
were used to review project area infrastructure over a 50-year period (Larimer County n.d., Fort
Collins History Connection 1977).
Based on review of the above datasets, individual projects have been screened into three
categories to summarize the environmental risk as follows:
· The Low-Risk category indicates that no environmental features were observed within the
project impact area during the desktop review.
· The Medium-Risk category indicates that wildlife resources or a raptor nesting boundary
was observed intersecting with the project impact area, but no wetlands or other water
resources including potentially jurisdictional Waters of the United States (WOTUS) were
observed within the project area during desktop review.
· The High-Risk category indicates that wetlands or other water resources including
potentially jurisdictional WOTUS were identified within the project area and may include
other observed environmental features within the project area. Field visits were conducted
at project areas within this category where accessible (e.g., one project area was
inaccessible due to ongoing construction activities).

The findings of the desktop review are discussed further in the sections below and are
summarized in Appendix A.
Field Survey: Between September 20 and 30, 2022, qualified members of Olsson staff performed
field inspection surveys at six of the seven project sites included in the High-Risk category
(Appendix A), based on potential environmental resource impacts including presence of water
features. The remaining project area was inaccessible due to ongoing construction activities (i.e.,
Suniga Road) and therefore, no field survey was able to be completed. Based on the desktop
review, NWI data was used to highlight project areas in which a field investigation should be
conducted in order to confirm the presence of wetland features appearing to intersect with the
proposed individual project areas. Field survey activities included mapping wetland and riparian
features based on their geomorphic position, hydrology, and vegetation using software capable
of sub-meter accuracy, collecting observations on potential wildlife habitat at each project area.
Field study methods utilized for this report provide project area constraints for planning purposes
and design considerations only and may require additional data collection and/or analysis prior to
submittal for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) or other regulatory review. Field survey
activities may require additional wetland delineation as project boundaries and design layouts
progress further. For water feature field survey data collection, water resources constraints were
collected generally following guidance provided in the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory 1987) and the Great Plains Region Supplement to the Wetland
Delineation Manual (USACE 2010).
Based on both the desktop review and field visual inspection, Olsson has provided a preliminary
interpretation of jurisdictional status in accordance with the pre-2015 regulatory definition and
practice. On November 18, 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and USACE
announced the signing of a proposed rule to revise the definition of WOTUS. The proposed rule
was published in the Federal Register on December 7, 2021, and the public comment period
closed on February 7, 2022. The current implementation of WOTUS consists of the pre-2015
regulatory definition and practice until the Final Rule is published (EPA 2022).
The USACE and EPA typically have jurisdiction over navigable or traditionally navigable waters,
tributaries to navigable or traditionally navigable waters, and adjacent wetlands, as well as
additional waters that have a significant nexus to navigable or traditionally navigable waters (i.e.,
WOTUS). Impacts to WOTUS should be avoided or minimized to the extent possible during
project development and construction. A Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 permit is required
for the discharge of dredged or fill material into WOTUS and mitigation may be required for
impacts to WOTUS.
Jurisdictional status can only be determined by the USACE; however, Olsson has provided
preliminary jurisdictional interpretation to support the design process and evaluate if impacts to
water feature can be removed and/or minimized. Preliminary field reconnaissance (e.g., visual

inspection) was completed to further support Olsson’s preliminary jurisdictional interpretation of
water features identified during the desktop review to be within or adjacent to project areas. These
interpretations are presented further in Section 3 of this report and summarized in Appendix A.
3. DESKTOP REVIEW AND FIELD SURVEY
R ESULTS
This section includes results from desktop review for water resources and wildlife habitat present
at individual project areas with field survey activities conducted for projects screened into the
High-Risk category as presented in Tables A.1 and A.2 (Appendix A). A desktop review was also
conducted for the project areas to evaluate floodplain hazards, potential air quality impacts,
protected areas, and historical buildings present.
As part of the field survey to visually inspect water features and wildlife habitat present at each of
the High-Risk category project areas, figures are included in Appendix C with field survey findings,
and photographs are included in Appendix D.
3.1 Water Resources – Desktop Review and Field
S urvey
A desktop review of publicly available datasets was conducted to identify potential water features
including wetlands, streams, and other water resources, as well as floodplains for each project.
Figures of project sites which have been identified with impacts to water features and/or
floodplains can be found in Appendix C.
The USGS NHD provides approximate locations and boundaries of surface waters including
stream channel flow lines, lakes, ponds, and impoundments; and the USFWS NWI dataset
provides the type of water feature, as well as approximate location and boundaries of probable or
historical wetlands and other water resources. Based on the NHD and NWI dataset, the following
seven individual projects include water features and are included in the High-Risk project category
on Tables A.1 and A.2 (Attachment A):
· Prospect Corridor Improvements
· Suniga Road
· Taft Hill Corridor Improvements
· Timberline and Harmony
· Timberline and Prospect
· Timberline Road North – Segment 1
· Timberline Road North – Segment 2

Each of these projects was recommended for field inspection to evaluate if water features are
within and/or adjacent to the respective project boundaries, as well as having potentially
jurisdictional water features requiring additional permitting. A summary of September 2022 field
inspection activities conducted at each of these sites is included below, except for the Suniga
Road project area where ongoing construction prevented field access.
Prospect Corridor Improvements: The site consists of an approximately 1.60-mile-long section
of Prospect Road. This site contains several wetland features as well as the riparian corridors and
floodplains of the Cache la Poudre River and Boxelder Creek which intersect the Project area.
Based on the field survey, select water features along the corridor are anticipated to include both
jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional features under current WOTUS definitions. Preparation and
submittal of a JD is recommended prior to construction and the current Project boundaries
includes impacts to one or more water features as shown on Figures 1.1 and 1.2 (Appendix C).
Photos 1 through 4 include field survey observations (Appendix D).
Suniga Road: This site was under active construction and therefore a preliminary field
investigation was not performed (Figure 2). Based on desktop review only, Lake Canal is
potentially jurisdictional, and the wetland near Iron Horse Park appears isolated and potentially
non-jurisdictional. Additional field reconnaissance is recommended to confirm desktop
jurisdictional interpretation provided in this report.
Taft Hill Corridor Improvements: The approximately 1.40-mile-long section of Taft Hill Road
project area features several wetlands, stormwater drainages, as well as sections of the Trilby
Lateral and Fossil Creek. Wetlands occur within the Project boundaries in several locations along
the Taft Hill Corridor as do the riparian corridors of Fossil Creek and the Trilby Lateral. Features
in this project area are anticipated to be considered jurisdictional by USACE under current
WOTUS definitions. Impacts to features within the survey buffer can be avoided by maintaining
construction impacts within the project area (e.g., red outline) as shown on Figures 3.1 and 3.2
(Appendix C). Field survey observations are included in Photos 5 through 7 (Appendix D).
Timberline and Prospect: The site is located at the intersection of Timberline Road and Prospect
Road, consisting of approximately 0.35-miles of Timberline Road and 0.08-miles of Prospect
Road. A portion of Spring Creek as well as its associated floodplain and riparian corridor intersects
the project boundary at the southern portion of Timberline Road. While desktop review of NWI
data indicated presence of a second riverine feature traveling from the southeast corner of the
intersection to the northwest corner, no feature was observed during field survey. At the
approximate location of the desktop NWI feature, a dry, narrow channel was encountered along
the southeast corner of the intersection and did not exhibit wetland features and terminated into
a roadside berm. Further, no evidence of the feature was encountered at the northwest corner of
the intersection. Spring Creek is anticipated to be considered jurisdictional by USACE under
current WOTUS definitions, however, Project impacts to this feature can be avoided by
Page 297
Item 3.

Olsson / 7
maintaining construction impacts within the Project area (e.g., red outline) as shown on Figure 4
(Appendix C). Photos 8 and 9 include observations from the September 2022 field survey
(Appendix D).
Timberline Road North – Segment 1: The site consists of an approximately 1.08-mile segment
of Timberline Road. Several wetland features were mapped along the western side of the road,
including the riparian corridor of Lake Canal which flows beneath Timberline Road at the
intersection of International Boulevard, intersecting the Project area. Lake Canal was dry at the
time of the field investigation. Features are potentially jurisdictional. Southern features assumed
jurisdictional as they are connected to the Cache la Poudre inlet. Impacts at the Cache la Poudre
inlet can be avoided if construction is maintained within the Project area (e.g., red outline) shown
on Figures 5.1 and 5.2. Based on current Project area layout, the northern water feature will be
impacted, however the water feature is anticipated to be non-jurisdictional. Preparation and
submittal of a JD is recommended prior to construction. Photos 10 and 11 present select field
observations for this Project area.
Timberline Road North – Segment 2: The approximately 1-mile-long portion of Timberline Road
crosses over the Larimer and Weld County Ditch. A second feature, the Number 8 Outlet, runs
parallel to Timberline Road before turning to the southeast and draining into the Larimer and Weld
County Ditch. Both features intersect with the Project boundary (e.g., red outline, Figure 6).
Features within the Project area are anticipated to be considered jurisdictional by USACE under
current definitions. Based on current Project area boundaries, water feature impacts can be
avoided if construction activities are maintained within the Project area as shown on Figure 6
(Appendix C). Field observations are included on Photos 12 and 13 included in Appendix D.
Timberline and Harmony: The site is located at the intersection of Harmony Road and
Timberline Road, consisting of approximately 0.44-miles of Timberline Road and 0.09-miles of
Harmony Road. The Dixon Canyon Lateral flows beneath Timberline Road at the north side of
the intersection. Only the western portion of the lateral was observed as it moves underground
and remains underground to the east. The Dixon Canyon Lateral is anticipated to be considered
jurisdictional by USACE under current definitions. Based on current Project area boundaries,
water feature impacts can be avoided if construction activities are maintained within the Project
area as shown on Figure 7 (Appendix C). Photo 14 is included in Appendix D.
3.2. Wildlife Habitat – Desktop Review and Field
S urvey
Desktop review of the collective project areas resulted in identification of multiple protected
species, species of concern, and identified active nests based on review of the IPaC report, CPW
NDA nest data, and HPH datasets. Field survey further evaluated the potential for specific species
habitat with summary of both desktop and field survey results included in Table 3.1.

Notes: State Special Concern is not a statutory category; CPW 2022a, CPW 2022b, USFWS 2022b, and
USFWS 2022c.
Based on the desktop review and field survey, the following species of concern have a medium
to high likelihood of suitable habitat and presence at one or more of the individual project areas.
Additional description of species habitat and presence is described below.
Black-tailed Prairie Dog – Black-tailed prairie dog is a Colorado Species of Concern that is
common in open habitats in eastern Colorado. Prairie dogs form colonies of interconnected
burrows, often resulting in a loss of vegetation due to grazing or other disturbance activities and
are typically active during the day except in the event of extreme temperatures or weather (CPW
2022b). Their burrows provide suitable habitat for burrowing owls (e.g., listed as a state-
threatened species in Colorado). Black-tailed prairie dog burrows were observed during the field
survey at the Timberline and Prospect Project area and field survey prior to initiation of
construction activities is recommended for this Project. Visual inspection of other individual project
areas for prairie dog colonies is recommended for individual project areas with exposed or
sparsely vegetated ground during finalization of individual project designs and prior to
construction.

Bald Eagle – The bald eagle was delisted from federally endangered species status in 2007;
however, bald eagles are still protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (MBTA; 16
U.S.C. 703) and the BGEPA (16 U.S.C. 668[a]; 50 C.F.R. 22) and are a Colorado Species of
Concern. Bald eagles are associated with aquatic habitats, especially large lakes, reservoirs,
marshes, and major rivers (Buehler 2020). Bald eagles are also typically found in areas with
sufficient prey or carrion resources, particularly small mammals. Based on desktop review,
suitable habitat is anticipated to be present within or in the vicinity of the Suniga Road Project
area and this Project area is located within a 0.25- and 0.5-mile radius of active bald eagle nests
as included in the CWP NDA dataset. Additionally, this Project area is located within Bald Eagle
winter range. Additional field survey to monitor nest activity is recommend prior to construction
for nests located within a half-mile of the construction site (CPW 2022b).
Burrowing Owl – Burrowing owls are a listed as state-threatened in Colorado and they are
protected under the MBTA. Although they are currently widespread throughout western and
central North America, populations have declined across much of the species’ range. Burrowing
owls nest underground and are commonly found in unoccupied prairie dog burrows or other small
mammal burrows (Poulin et al. 2020) and nesting most commonly occurs between March 15 and
August 31 (CPW 2021). If disturbance is planned to begin prior to March 15 or after August 31,
pre-construction nest surveys are recommended following the CPW burrowing owl survey
protocol to be conducted between March 15 and October 31, and at least three weeks prior to
beginning construction activities (CPW 2021). Potential habitat was observed during the
September 2022 field survey within the Timberline and Prospect Project area.
Ferrunginous Hawk – Ferruginous hawks are a Colorado Species of Concern and are protected
under the MBTA. Ferruginous hawk primarily preys on prairie dogs and ground squirrels east of
the Continental Divide, and most often prey on prairie dogs in Colorado, especially in winter.
(Colorado Department of Wildlife 2003). In most of their habitat, including Colorado, Ferruginous
Hawks prefer grasslands and pastures to cultivated areas with nest building usually occurring in
March and are present year-round, most comm only in winter in eastern Colorado. Suitable habitat
is present within or in the vicinity of the Prospect Corridor Improvements Project area and the
whole of the project areas are located within Ferruginous Hawk breeding range (CPW 2022a).
Additional monitoring for nest activity is recommended prior to beginning construction. Should a
nest be observed, no surface occupancy (e.g., disturbance beyond that which historically
occurred in the area) is allowed within half-mile radius of an active nest. Additionally, no permitted,
authorized, or human encroachment activities are allowed within a half-mile radius of active nests
from February 1 through July 15. This species is especially prone to nest abandonment during
incubation if disturbed (CPW 2020).
Ute ladies’-tresses – This species is a federal candidate with no designated critical habitat.
Habitat includes moist meadows associated with perennial stream terraces, floodplains, and
oxbows at elevation between 4,300 and 6,850 feet above sea level. Potential habitat does exist

for this species in the Prospect Corridor Improvements Project area. It is recommended that
impacts to floodplains and riparian corridors are avoided as much as practicable through design
to avoid impacting potential habitat for this species.
Common Garter Snake – This species is a Colorado Species of Special Concern, which is not
a statutory category. Its range within Northeastern Colorado is along the South Platte River and
its tributaries at elevations below 6,000 feet and is widely distributed along the eastern base of
the Front Range. Potential habitat includes marshes, ponds, and the edges of streams, and is
basically restricted to aquatic, wetland, and riparian habitats along the floodplains of streams. This
species is active in shallow water and on land adjacent to water (CPW 2022b). Portions of
individual project areas with these features have potentially suitable habitat for this species. It is
recommended that impacts to floodplains and riparian corridors are avoided as much as
practicable through design to avoid impacting potential habitat for this species.
Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC)
The USFWS includes birds of conservation concern (BCC) in the IPaC report (Appendix C) to
identify migratory and non-migratory bird species in addition to those already designated as
federally threatened or endangered to highlight species included in the USFWS’ highest
conservation priorities. As included in Appendix C, each of the species included below has a listed
breeding season and probability of presence in the IPaC report, and construction activities
including vegetation removal, trimming, and grading of vegetated areas are recommended to be
conducted outside of peak bird breeding season to the maximum extent possible (USFWS 2021).
When project activities cannot be scheduled to avoid bird nesting season, field surveys prior to
activity initiation are needed to determine if active nests are present within the area of impact and
to identify needed buffer areas. Field surveys are to be conducted no more than five days prior to
the scheduled disturbance activity if occurring during breeding season. In addition to limiting
physical impacts to these species, maintaining existing noise levels during nesting season is also
recommended as a national standard conservation goal.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) NDA Nest Data
As noted above in Section 2, while the projects included in this document are not regulated under
the COGCC or related to oil and gas exploration or operation activities, the NDA Nest Data
maintained by CPW reflects known raptor nests which are subject to regulations of the MBTA and
the BGEPA and should active nests be observed at any of the project locations, construction
activities may need to be completed during specific date ranges depending on the type of active
nest found. Review of available data indicates that the boundaries of six projects are within a
regulatory buffer of one or more identified raptor nests with additional information included in
Table A.2 of Appendix A.
For sites with CPW identified nests as well as other nests identified through preconstruction field
surveys, site visits are recommended prior to site construction to monitor and document the
presence and activity of potential raptors in compliance with MBTA and BGEPA. Based on
desktop review, the following project sites are within the buffer areas of one or more identified
raptor nest:
· Prospect Corridor Improvements – osprey and red-tailed hawk (RTH)
· Suniga Road – bald eagle
· Timberline Road North – Segment 1 – RTH
· Timberline Road North – Segment 2 – RTH
· Timberline and Carpenter – great horned owl
· Vine Drive & Timberline Road Overpass – RTH
During the September 2022 field survey, the following was observed:
· Prospect Corridor Improvements – a nest, potentially an Osprey nest, was observed near
the southeastern reach of the Cache la Poudre River and appears to be inside the project
area.
· Suniga Road – active construction was occurring at site, field survey not completed.
· Timberline Road North – Segment 1 – no nests were observed during field survey.
· Timberline Road North – Segment 2 – a potential raptor nest was observed approximately
200 feet outside the Project area.
· Timberline and Carpenter – Project area not included in September 2022 field survey
activities.
· Vine Drive & Timberline Road Overpass – Project area not included in September 2022
field survey activities.
Prior to construction activities additional field verification is recommended for individual nest
locations and to determine if nests are active. The following nesting season timeframes apply to
species found in Larimer County:
Page 304
Item 3.

Fort Collins, Colorado
Olsson / 3
· Bald eagles – December 1 and July 31,
· Common raptors – February 15 and July 31
· Small birds in Colorado – April 1 through August 31
Additional nest and seasonal disturbance limitations are included in Table A.2 (Appendix A).
3.3. Floodplain Hazards – Desktop Review
Regulatory floodplains within Larimer County include floodplains for which the County enforces
regulations for various forms of development. Floodplain designations are associated with a
specific level of flood risk. The National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) Larimer County FEMA
Floodplain 2021 data shows the mapped designated floodplain according to FEMA and the
regulatory floodplain classification for the County (FEMA 2021).
The floodplain data indicates that there are regulatory floodplains located within the project
boundaries of four projects and these projects may each require a Floodplain Development
Permit. A brief summary of the floodplain zones found within the boundaries of these four projects
is included below:
· Suniga Road: AE, AE Floodway, and 500-year Flood
· Prospect Corridor Improvements: AE, AO, AE Floodway and 500-year Flood
· Timberline and Prospect: AE, AE Floodway, and Area with reduced risk due to Levee
· Timberline Road North – Segment 1: AE, AE Floodway, and 500-year Flood
The floodplain zones included by project above are defined by FEMA (FEMA n.d.) as follows:
· AE and AE Floodway – 100-year floodplain; the base floodplain where base flood
elevations are provided
o AE zones are areas of inundation by the one-percent-annual-chance flood,
including areas with the two-percent wave runup, elevation less than three feet
above the ground, and areas with wave heights less than three feet;
o A "Regulatory Floodway" is the channel of water feature and the adjacent land
areas that must be reserved to discharge the base flood without cumulatively
increasing the water surface elevation more than a designated height.
· 500-year Flood – A flood having a recurrence interval that has a 0.2-percent chance of
being equaled or exceeded during any given year (0.2-percent-chance-annual-flood).
· AO – 100-year floodplain; river or stream flood hazard areas, and areas with a one percent
or greater chance of shallow flooding each year, usually in the form of sheet flow, with an
average depth ranging from one to three feet.
· Area with reduced risk due to Levee – an area of moderate flood risk; the risk of being
flooded is reduced, but not completely removed.

3.4. Air Quality Assessment – Desktop Review
To support the preliminary environmental impacts review, Olsson completed a desktop
assessment of potential air quality impacts from proposed roadway improvements across the
projects included in this report and located in Fort Collins, Colorado (Appendix D).
Fort Collins, located within Larimer County, Colorado is defined as a nonattainment area for the
2008 and 2015 eight-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) with Larimer
County defined as a Serious nonattainment area for the 2008 eight-hour NAAQS and a Marginal
nonattainment area for the 2015 eight-hour NAAQS. The assessment included in Appendix E
considered ozone, volatile organic compounds (VOC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide
(CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter 10 microns in diameter or less (PM10), and
particulate matter 2.5 microns in diameter or less (PM2.5).
The potential roadway improvement projects included in the air quality assessment are not
anticipated to negatively impact “reasonable further progress” as it relates to the state of Colorado
demonstrating a path to attainment status for the ozone NAAQS. These improvement projects
are also not anticipated to negatively impact NAAQS attainment status for PM10, PM2.5, NO2,
and CO.
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will require quantitative analyses of Colorado
air emissions and PM10 air emissions for roadway improvement projects that are not exempt as
identified in the CDOT Air Quality Project-Level Analysis Guidance document (CDOT 2019).
3.5. Protected Areas – Desktop Review
The USGS GAP 2022 PAD-US dataset is a comprehensive national inventory of protected area
boundaries within the United Sates and includes public lands and parks, wilderness areas,
National Wildlife Refuges, reserves, conservation easements, Marine protected areas, as well as
the most up-to-date aggregation of Federal lands and waters, National Conservation Easement
Database (NCED) easement data, and State updates from those states with capacity to provide
new data. This dataset also includes information from the GAP which maps predictions of the
spatial distribution of suitable environmental and land cover conditions within the United States
for individual species. Mapped areas represent places where the environment is suitable for
various species to occur, with notes on land management protocols. Additionally, data from the
City of Fort Collins Natural Areas was used to verify and identify any limitations in the previous
dataset.
The above datasets indicate that the project boundaries of three sites are within a regulatory
boundary of one or more identified protected areas. A brief summary of the protected areas found
within the boundaries of these three projects is below:

· Prospect Corridor Improvements: Local Conservation areas (Cottonwood Hollow
Natural Area; Running Deer Natural Area/Resource Recovery Farm; Running Deer
Natural Area; Riverbend Ponds Natural Area); GAP Status code: managed for biodiversity
- disturbance events suppressed
· Taft Hill Corridor Improvements: Within Fort Collins designated Natural Areas (e.g.,
Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area, Franz Farm)
· Timberline and Carpenter: Within Fort Collins designated Natural Areas (Fossil Creek
Reservoir Natural Area); GAP Status code: Managed for biodiversity – disturbance events
suppressed
3.6. Historical Building – Desktop Review
As noted in in Section 2, presence of historical buildings within and/or adjacent to individual project
area boundaries was evaluated through current and historical maps to identify individual project
areas with possible historical structures. For all 14 projects reviewed, there are no structures
within the project area boundaries as included in this assessment. A 50-foot buffer from the edge
of the project area was also evaluated for structures that may abut individual project activities.
For the eight projects listed below, further review of cultural resources information may be
required prior to finalizing the individual project impact areas and/or if individual project area
boundaries are expanded from those included in this assessment.
· Prospect Corridor Improvements: No structures currently within Project area.
Structures are present within the 50-foot buffer north of Prospect between South Summit
View Drive and Boxelder Creek that was also present in 1999 (1977 data not available).
· Timberline and Harmony: No structures currently within Project area. One structure
currently located within the 50-foot buffer on northwest corner that was also present in
1977.
· Timberline and Prospect: No structures currently within Project area. Structures
currently within the 50-foot buffer on northeast corner that were constructed between 1977
and 1999 based on aerial maps.
· Riverside Avenue Road Diet: No structures currently within Project area. Several
buildings within 50-foot buffer along the Project area with some also present on 1977 aerial
maps.
· Vine Drive and Timberline Road Overpass: No structures currently within Project area.
One structure currently within the 50-foot buffer on northeast corner that was also present
in 1999 (1977 data not available).
· Boardwalk and Harmony: No structures currently within Project area. One structure
currently present within the 50-foot buffer on northwest corner that was also present on
1977 aerial maps.
Page 307
Item 3.

Fort Collins, Colorado
Olsson / 6
· Harmony and JFK Parkway/Hogan: No structures currently within Project area. One
structure currently present within the 50-foot buffer on southwest corner that was not
present on 1977 aerial maps. Based on review of both the 1977 and 1999 aerial maps,
the current intersection appears to have been constructed where past residential and/or
commercial infrastructure existed prior to 1999.
· Shields and Prospect: No structures currently within Project area. Structures present
within the 50-foot buffer on northwest and northeast corners that were also present on
1999 and 1977 aerial maps.
The above summary is preliminary based on desktop review; additional desktop and/or field
survey may be required to meet local, state, and/or federal requirements (e.g., based on funding
mechanisms, to comply with various regulatory requirements).
4. CONCLUSIONS
The results of the environmental critical issues assessment for the 14 project areas included in
this document and summarized in Table A.1 (Appendix A) provide a risk screening for potential
environmental resource impacts that may be further avoided and/or require additional site
assessment and permitting prior to individual project construction. Of the 14 project sites, seven
were identified as having higher environmental resource impact and/or permitting requirement
risks and a field survey for visual inspection was conducted in September 2022. Six of these
seven sites were visually inspected for water features and wildlife habitat with the remaining one
project area inaccessible due to ongoing construction activities (i.e., Suniga Road). Field
observations were incorporated into the risk screening evaluation as presented in Appendix A
with the following recommendations:
· Four of the seven projects with water features are anticipated to have jurisdictional water
features, however impacts can be avoided through design and/or construction activities
remaining within the individual project areas.
· Two project areas are anticipated to have jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional water
features including potential impacts based on the current individual project areas. An
administrative jurisdictional determination (JD) is recommended for submittal prior to
completing project design. Additional field survey activities may be recommended
depending on the length of time between the September 2022 field survey and initiation
of construction activities (e.g., within approximately one year versus multiple years in the
future).
· It is recommended that for the one remaining site that was inaccessible (i.e., Suniga
Road), a visual field inspection be conducted when accessible to allow further assessment
of existing water features, potential WOTUS jurisdiction, and if potential impacts can be
avoided through the design process, as well as potentially suitable habitat for species of
concern.

Of the 14 project sites, three sites were screened as medium risk based on potential wildlife
habitat. These projects were included in the desktop review with identified potential environmental
impacts limited to past observed bird nests within or in the vicinity of the individual project areas.
These sites were not included for visual inspection as field surveys for the identified species are
recommended closer to design finalization and initiation of construction activities. Restrictive site
activities based on wildlife habitat (e.g., active nests, etc.) are included in this report for the
applicable project sites.
The four remaining sites of the 14 total projects are considered low risk from both a potential
environmental resource impact and potential permitting requirements perspective. These projects
were included in the desktop review and environmental resource impacts were identified not
present within the individual project areas.
Of the 14 project areas, eight sites may require further review of historical structures and/or
cultural resources based on desktop review of historical aerial information.
Appendix A, Table A. 1 includes summary tables of the 14 project areas sorted by risk category
(e.g., high, medium, and low) with additional detailed information included in Table A.2.

RE: Fort Collins Roadway Improvements
Desktop Air Quality Assessment
Date: July 29, 2022
Project #: 021-01676
Phase: 203
Task: 203002
NOTES:
Olsson completed a desk top review (DTR) to assess potential air quality impacts from
proposed roadway improvements in Fort Collins, Colorado. A summary of each proposed
roadway improvement project is provided as an attachment to this memo.
Fort Collins is in Larimer County, Colorado. Larimer County is defined as a nonattainment area
for the 2008 and 2015 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards.[1] Specifically,
Larimer County is defined as a Serious nonattainment area for the 2008 8-hour NAAQS and a
Marginal nonattainment area for the 2015 8-hour NAAQS.
Ozone is a photochemical compound that is formed near the ground in a mixture of volatile
organic compounds (VOC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and sunlight. Motor vehicles are the
primary source of VOC and NOX responsible for ground level ozone formation. Motor vehicles
also produce particulate matter – particulate matter 10 microns in diameter or less (PM10) and
particulate matter 2.5 microns in diameter or less (PM2.5). Larimer County is in attainment for
both PM10 and PM2.5. Motor vehicles also produce carbon monoxide (CO). Larimer County is in
attainment for the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) NAAQS and the CO NAAQS.
The potential roadway improvement projects identified in the attachment are not anticipated to
negatively impact “reasonable further progress” as it relates to the state of Colorado
demonstrating a path to attainment status for the ozone NAAQS. The potential roadway
improvement projects identified in the attachment are not anticipated to negatively impact
NAAQS attainment status for PM10, PM2.5, NO2, and CO.
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will require quantitative analyses of CO air
emissions and PM10 air emissions for roadway improvement projects that are not exempt as
identified in the CDOT document named Air Quality Project-Level Analysis Guidance.
