EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Last week,the last of the eight partnering jurisdictions gave its approval to begin the preparation of
a Northern Colorado Communities I-25 Corridor Plan, when the Loveland City Council approved
its share of the funding for the project. Fort Collins,Latimer County,Windsor,Berthoud,Timnath
and Johnstown have informally agreed to proceed cooperatively in funding and carrying of the
planning project. Each jurisdiction's share in the cost of the project is based on population, as has
been done in the past on other regional projects. The total cost for the project is estimated at j
$300,000. The City's share is $137.280, which has been previously budgeted and appropriated in
1999 and included in the Year 2000 budget request. Weld County declined to share in the cost of
the project,but did agree to participate. The City of Fort Collins will act as Project Manager.
Request for Proposals to prepare a vision and plan for the I-25 Corridor extending from Berthoud
to Fort Collins were sent to planning consulting firms. Balloffet & Associates, Inc., has been
selected to lead the planning effort. The primary purpose of this project is to establish a common
vision for the corridor. and will include the following elements:
• Aesthetics - preparation of design guidelines and standards that can be readily adapted and =7
incorporated by each participating community.

• Open Lands/Natural Areas-consideration of protection and/or preservation strategies for open
