Staff worked with the Poudre R-1 School District in an effort to coordinate the completion of Ziegler between Trilby Road and Kechter Road as well as the connection of Trilby between Timberline Road and Kechter. The improvements will be to an important segment of roadway which will provide primary access to the new Kinard Junior High School projected to open in the fall of 2006. This project is funded entirely through developer contributions and the construction will be managed by the City Street Oversizing Program staff. June 7, 2005 -2- Item No. 14 BACKGROUND Over the past year, the Poudre R-1 School District and the Street Oversizing staff have worked to complete the design of Ziegler adjacent to the new Kinard Junior High School (currently under construction). This project will finish the construction of the east half of Ziegler with bike lanes, curb, gutter and sidewalk from Kechter on the north to Trilby on the south. Fossil Lake Estates participated in the project by dedicating the necessary right-of-way along the frontage of their developed site. The Project is planned to begin construction in the fall of 2005. The Project will be constructed without closing traffic flow other than a 2 week closure to install a 24 inch diameter water line for Fort-Collins Loveland Water District. Project construction is planned to be completed within 2 months of the start date. On May 3, 2005, City Council adopted Resolution 2005-043 calling for a roundabout design at this intersection. The design will take place this summer and include citizen input. The roadway improvements to Ziegler will be completed this year; however, the intersection improvements will be completed the summer of 2006 prior to the opening of the Kinard Junior High School. Both the roadway construction project and the roundabout engineering design will begin as soon as funds are available. The intersection construction funding will be appropriated next year from 2006 Street Oversizing Fund revenues. ATTACHMENTS 1.
