complete the arterial widening of Lemay Avenue to Trilby Road. Except for these
Stormwater upgrades and the pedestrian underpass, the project will be funded through
developer contributions and the Street Oversizing Program. This Ordinance was

12. First Reading of Ordinance No. 016, 2003, Separately Codifying "The Fort Collins Traffic
Code";Repealing All Conflicting Ordinances:and Making Certain Related Amendments to
Chapter 28 of the City Code.
In 1977, the City of Fort Collins adopted the revised edition of the Model Traffic Code for
Colorado Municipalities,a generic document designed to provide uniformity throughout the
state pertaining to laws governing the movement of vehicles and pedestrians on streets and
highways. The 1977 Model Traffic Code also gave municipalities the power to adopt
portions of the Model Traffic Code which were applicable to the local traffic situation,
provided those laws or ordinances adopted or modified were not in conflict with state law.
The 1977 Model Traffic Code mirrored the State of Colorado's C.R.S.Title 42 Statutes for
Vehicle and Traffic Enforcement with the exception of areas pertaining to driver's licenses,
vehicle registration, and alcohol or drug related driving offenses, as these statutes are
enforced and handled at the county and district court level. The State no longer uses this
Model Traffic Code edition and no other jurisdiction has retained it except Fort Collins. This
document has been used by the City since 1977 with numerous changes and updates as the
years passed.
In 1998,discussions were undertaken about the feasibility of creating a new Traffic Code for
the City of Fort Collins,making it a stand alone,separately codified document,and repealing
the outdated 1977 Model Traffic Code. A committee consisting of representatives from the
City Attorneys Office, City Municipal Court Violations Bureau, City Police Services, City
Parking Management, City Traffic Engineering, and the Colorado State University Police
Department was initially formed to develop the new manual. After five years and numerous
revisions and input from various affected staff, this new traffic code for the City of Fort
Collins was created. The document is now entitled"Fort Collins Traffic Code"and has been
updated to reflect the most recent changes in the State of Colorado's C.R.S.Title 42 Vehicle
and Traffic Enforcement statutes and to reflect the current and future traffic enforcement
needs and issues specific to the City of Fort Collins and Colorado State University.

Community Commercial-North College zone district. At the December 17 hearing,Council

amendment.
34. Discussion of a Draft Resolution Placing. a One-percent Construction Tax Measure and a
One-quarter Cent Sales and Use Tax Measure Before the Voters at the April 8 2003
Municipal Election.
On January 28, 2003, Council provided staff with direction to prepare a resolution for its
consideration to place two ballot measures before the voters at the April municipal election.
Council discussed two options for when the 114 cent sales and use tax would take effect and
asked staff to prepare two options for its consideration and discussion at the February 4
meeting.
Staff recommends that Council discuss the issues presented and seek public input at the
February 4 Regular Council meeting. Staff can then finalize the ballot measure(s) and
present them for Council action at the February 18 meeting.
35. Discussion of a Ballot Measure to Release Funds Committed to the Prospect Road River to
Summitview Project in the Building Community Choices Package and Make Those Funds
Available for Other Transportation Capital Projects.
In 1996, voters approved a package of Building Community Choices capital improvement
projects that included funding for improvements to Prospect Road from the Poudre River to
Summitview Drive.
Since the ballot language was set in 1996 regarding this project, several circumstances have
changed regarding the need for the project as described. Staff is currently undertaking
engineering and design work on the Prospect Road project. Some issues which have been
encountered include:
City of Fort Collins ® ^`'""°"'•eycMOvw.,
PAGE 11
• Flood plain issues have changed as new flood plain studies have been completed and
detailed engineering work is being completed.
• The option of using culverts instead of a bridge to protect the road through the floodplain
is being explored. This could significantly change the previous cost estimates.
• Flood control concems must be addressed related to an existing dike in the area of
Riverbend Ponds.
• Long-term plans must be developed for completion of Prospect Road from the River to
I-25, including build-out to a full 4-lane arterial with bike and pedestrian facilities.
Currently staff is actively working to address these questions and develop the long-term plans
for Prospect Road. Analysis and planning work is expected to be completed by summer,
2003. After the planning process is complete,staff expects approximately$4.4 million(2003
dollars) to be available for the construction phase of the project.
The proposal to release the funds earmarked in BCC for the Prospect Road project was raised
because of a concern as to whether it is prudent to spend the money allocated to the project
in the way envisioned in the ballot language. Changing needs and circumstances may make
other projects a higher priority than Prospect Road and concerns have been raised about
making these improvement ahead(by several years)of adding additional travel lanes. Staff
is concemed that this may no longer be the most cost effective solution to transportation
needs in the area.
By asking the voters to release the funds and make them available for other transportation
capital projects,higher priority issues can be addressed sooner.The full Prospect Road,River
to I-25 project could be completed with future funds that the voters are being asked to
approve in April through the sales and use tax and construction tax ballot measures.
