SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 074, 2019, Making Appropriations and Authorizing Transfers of Appropriations
for the Lemay and Vine Intersection Improvements Project and Related Art in Public Places.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to appropriate $9.1M of Transportation Capital Expansion Fee (TCEF) and
Transportation Reserve Funds into the Capital Project Fund for the Lemay and Vine Intersection
Improvements Project. In addition, this item will authorize the transfer of $91,000, one percent of the
appropriated funds, from the Capital Project Fund to the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund for Art in Public
Places.
The overall project cost, including design, property acquisition, and construction, is estimated at $23.3M. The
City has previously appropriated $3.7M, and this appropriation would add $9.1M to the project. The remaining
funding needed for the project is $10.5M in 2019 dollars.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Lemay Avenue realignment and intersection improvements have been prioritized as the City’s highest
priority Transportation Capital Improvement Project. The Lemay Avenue realignment and grade separation
has been on the City’s Master Street Plan for nearly 30 years and is a critical infrastructure improvement
needed to address existing transportation deficiencies, growth related impacts of new development, and
neighborhood livability. The existing intersection operations continue to degrade which has led to increased
safety, congestion, and access problems for local neighborhoods, railways, emergency services, and the
traveling public. Unlike most railroad crossings within Fort Collins, the existing Lemay Avenue and Vine Drive
intersection is greatly impacted due to the proximity of the BNSF and Great Western Railroad switching yard
along Vine Drive. Additionally, the existing intersection is severely congested with limited options to expand
through lanes or turn capacity due to the proximity to houses and driveways.
The Lemay and Vine Intersection Improvements Project will construct a new roadway (realigned Lemay
Avenue) from Lincoln Avenue to Conifer Street, and a new intersection slightly northeast of the existing Lemay
Avenue and Vine Drive intersection. The project will also contain a roadway bridge over the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway and Vine Drive.
The construction of this project will alleviate existing deficiencies and provide a key infrastructure asset for
growth related impacts of new development in northeast Fort Collins. More specifically, this project will:
Agenda Item 16
Item # 16 Page 2
• Improve quality of life, equity, and neighborhood livability for Andersonville, Buckingham, and Alta Vista by
removing arterial traffic volumes off Ninth Street
• Reduce accidents and congestion, and improve emergency services coverage by separating travel modes
from BNSF Railway switching operations
• Improve air quality by reducing the emissions from idling vehicles, whereby aligning with the goals of the
Climate Action Plan
• Provide multi-modal connectivity to the new Sugar Beet Park at the southwest corner of Vine and Lemay
The overall project cost, including design, property acquisition, and construction is estimated at $23.3M. The
project is being designed and constructed in phases, enabling the project to move forward as project funding
becomes available. Phase One advanced the project’s engineering design to 50%, placed fill dirt for the future
bridge, installed a box culvert to convey stormwater, and completed a majority of the property acquisitions
necessary to construct the improvements. This total cost to complete this work was $3.7M.
As this project will be adding growth-related vehicular and multimodal capacity to the transportation network,
the project is eligible to be partially funded using Transportation Capital Expansion Fee (TCEF) funds. This
project will be replacing an existing two-lane roadway with a new four-lane roadway; resulting in a net gain of
two travel lanes. These new travel lanes will address growth-related impacts by providing additional capacity
and are eligible to be funded by TCEF funds. Reconstruction of the existing two travel lanes is considered
correction of an existing deficiency and must be funded by other sources. To ensure funding proportionality,
staff developed a funding contribution model to assign funding responsibilities for TCEF, developer obligations,
and other City funding sources. Staff calculated the total TCEF contribution available for the project as $10.7M
of which $1.8M (2019 Dollars) will be reimbursed by future proximate development.
Approximately $1.6M of TCEF funds have been previously appropriated to the project as part of Phase One.
Appropriating an additional $9.1M in TCEF funds for Phase two enables the following:
• Right-of-way purchases for realigned Lemay Avenue, south of Vine Drive; and the Buckingham Street
extension from Ninth Street to realigned Lemay
• Complete the final design and begin construction
• Complete dirt placement and install utilities along realigned Lemay Avenue
• Obtain Public Utilities Commission (PUC) approval for the roadway bridge and complete a Construction and
Maintenance Agreement with BNSF
Staff anticipates the efficiencies gained through initiating the above items in 2019 will reduce the overall project
duration by one year. Reducing the project’s overall time frame will also result in cost savings for the project.
Per City Code Section 24-304, all appropriations for construction projects estimated to cost over $250,000
shall include an amount equal to one percent of the estimated cost for works of art. The total Art in Public
Places funds to be appropriated is $91,000. This item will transfer $70,980 of the TCEF appropriations to the
Art in Public Places Program. Staff has identified the Transportation Reserves as a means to provide the
additional $20,020 needed to provide long-term maintenance for the art.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This action will appropriate $9.1M into the Capital Project Fund for the Lemay and Vine Intersection
Improvements Project and transfer $91,000 from the Capital Project Fund to the Cultural Services and
Facilities Fund for the Art in Public Places Program.
The following is a summary of funds to be appropriated with this action:
Agenda Item 16
Item # 16 Page 3
Prior Appropriated Funds
2015 / 2016 BFO Process (Keep Fort Collins Great) $1,050,000

A. Vine/Lemay TCEF Funding
Chad Crager, City Engineer
SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION
Financing alternatives for the Lemay Avenue realignment project from Lincoln Avenue to Conifer Street. The
project also includes a new intersection of Lemay Avenue and Suniga Road, the extension of Buckingham Street,
and a grade separated crossing of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to present and discuss potential financing alternatives for this high priority
transportation capital improvement project. Staff has recently completed the plans for the 50% design, a
majority of the right‐of‐way (ROW) acquisitions, and construction of the Phase One roadway embankment in
collaboration with the Utilities Department. The total current project (design, right‐of‐way, and construction)
cost is estimated at $23.5M.
ATTACHMENT 2
2
Current project funding includes: The Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) process, the City’s Transportation Capital
Expansion Fee (TCEF) Reserves, and Developer contributions for Local Street obligations. To date, $3.7 M has
been appropriated to Phase One of the project and all funds have been expended. Phase Two would be a $9.1
M appropriation from TCEF reserves. The Phase Three funding needed for the project is $10.5 M (in 2019
dollars).
GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
Staff is seeking direction regarding an appropriation of the TCEF reserves. Completion of Phase II will allow staff
to further refine the proposed construction schedule and stay on track for a project opening date in the next
budget cycle.
Questions for the Council Finance Committee:
Does the Council Finance Committee support a Summer 2019 appropriation of the TCEF reserves in the
amount of $9.1M for Phase Two funding?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Realigned Lemay Avenue has been on the City’s Master Street Plan since the 1980’s. This project, along with the
grade separation at the BNSF Railway, have been included in numerous Planning efforts over the past few
decades.
Train switching operations continue to increase in the Vine and Lemay area. The total time that the intersection
is blocked to the travelling public has increased 50% from June 2016 to February 2019 (22 hours of blockage per
month v. 33 hours of blockage per month).
The construction of this project will alleviate existing deficiencies and provide a “key” infrastructure asset for
northeast Fort Collins. More specifically, this project will:
Improve quality of life, access, and neighborhood livability for Andersonville, Buckingham, and Alta Vista
Reduce accidents and congestion, and improve emergency services coverage by separating travel modes
from BNSF Railway switching operations
Improve air quality by reducing the emissions from idling vehicles, whereby aligning with the goals of
the Climate Action Plan
Provide multi‐modal connectivity to the new Beet Street Park at the southwest corner of Vine and
Lemay
Reduce traffic volumes on Ninth Street (Lindenmeier Road)
Over the past few years, staff has given many formal presentations and provided project information at City
sponsored events; designed to encourage public participation and collect feedback. Staff is actively addressing
community questions and working with nearby residents, business owners, landowners, and proposed
development projects.

DISCUSSION / NEXT STEPS:
TCEF ‐ Transportation Capital Expansion Fees
Darin Atteberry; current conditions are not good for kids heading to park
9th Street status will change – that will be helpful
Phase Two ‐ $9.1M is the ask for now. We \would like to allocate TCEF now (use slide)
4
Darin Atteberry; dirt used to this point is city dirt‐ we are now out of city dirt ‐ will need to get elsewhere
Chad Crager; a lot of the dirt out there on site came from NECCO
Mike Beckstead; external financing ‐ we saved $315K on Prospect I25 and the Police Training Facility
We had talked during BFO that the next project ‐ if we added another $400K to the $315K that would give us the
$750K.
The other alternative is we are looking at refinancing a URA loan from the city used for the Summit Project –
once we completed that the URA would reimburse the $5M to the General Fund. Those funds could be
available if Council chooses.
BOB 1 still has $3‐ 3.5M of funding available – but we can’t use that until the last project is finished – so, the City
Park refresh would have to completed in order to use this funding for other capital projects. We anticipate that
being started in 2020 and finished in late 2021. $1.8M in BOB 1 is allocated for the City Park update. This timing
pushes us out farther – which means inflation would kick in for another 2‐3 years.
If we wanted to wait for the reserves this will happen later rather than sooner.
Ross Cunniff; CEF ‐we are applying these funds in that region and not city wide
Chad Crager; With the Capital Expansion Fees, there are a lot coming in from this area that are not constrained
to this area. This does not deplete the funds for the whole city funds.
Chad Crager; the current balance is approximately $22M ‐ this will not deplete our reserves of the TCEF
Ross Cunniff; in our Master Plans ‐ What other CEF eligible projects are there? opportunity costs
5
Chad Crager; we can apply a certain percentage ‐ anything that is not a local
if Montava – anything they construct that is not a local piece that we would consider regional – we keep track
to make sure we are hitting that regional piece with the funding.
Darin Atteberry; what are the TCEF priorities and how does this stack up?
Chad Crager; this is our #1 project ‐ we are looking ahead to make sure we have adequate funding to do other
projects
Ken Summer; what is the inflow of TCEF revenue from development fees etc.? I
Chad Crager; we can give you the information the last 3 years ‐ we also forecast what is coming in based on
activity in the building permit review process.
Darin Atteberry; before we agreed to have this come to Council Finance Committee ‐ Chad and Laurie had to
answer a lot of these questions – it is a big off line appropriation ‐ if we are going to come forward ‐ we need to
have some really good reason to move forward ‐ I think Chad has outlined those well in terms of the
construction ‐ Vine Lemay is a priority ‐ for Council as well – where likely growth will continue to occur – felt like
a good time to bring it forward.
Ross Cunniff; I think with the dialog we have had ‐ I think it makes sense to bring it forward – full transparency to
Council
Darin Atteberry; I do think that the other priority projects conversation should be front and center for Council
and the public.
Mayor Troxell; what about train horn noise? that is also a Council priority ‐ build this into our overall train horn
noise strategy ‐ It would be foolish not to leverage it in a bigger way
Chad Crager; it will still be a crossing but we will work with them to establish a quiet zone
Neighborhood streets will still be an at grade crossing ‐ pedestrians and bicyclists – this should remove one of
the crossing from blowing the horn.
Mayor Troxell; Windsor has quiet zones all the way through 9 intersections. We have 22 and it blows the whole
way ‐ how do we leverage other intersections as part of this?
Chad Crager; we are working through a prioritization right now ‐ what quiet zones do we address first? It is not
only the infrastructure we put it ‐ it is the wiring that the trains have to add. Also, adding the Advance Warning
Detection System at the same time.
Mayor Troxell; This plays into our Public Policy agenda as well – in order for our legislatures to go forward we
need to show that we are doing our part – spending millions of dollars and we can’t get it done alone
Darin Atteberry; this is a great example ‐ Max Corridor – spending millions to try to minimize that
6
Even to notify as we go forward – here is another improvement that we are making and we are serious about
this
Mayor Troxell; Windsor submitted a TIGER grant ‐ we are investing big time to improve the safety so we need to
leverage that
Gerry Horak; this project was first brought forward in late 80’s – over 30 years
Include some equity lenses because it has a huge benefit to surrounding neighborhoods
This is important for Council ‐ BOB 1 ‐ I don’t think City Park is going to be an issue ‐ I don’t think the $3.5M
would be available for this – I think we should understand that this is not limited to $1.8 M – that is a serious
option to look at ‐ nexus to something the Council will be considering soon
Darin Atteberry; there are other options that are going to be on the table soon such as I25 to help further
Ken Summers; current ask relative to $9.1M ‐ case is compelling and the priority is high
We trust your analysis regarding available funds ‐ time frame ‐ we do need to take a serious look at a strategy
for Phase 3 ‐ whether it will be financing / retiring some debt early if funds are available
I think we should fund Phase 2 and begin looking at how and when we would make Phase 3 happen.
Ross Cunniff; consider putting some of that money away toward this ‐ could reduce the financing costs
Mike Beckstead; that is something we have talked about – historically we would not bring something like Phase
3 forward mid BFO cycle because it is not competing with all of the other needs across the city. If Council
wanted us to do it, we certainly could.
Ross Cunniff; suggesting that we have that conversation with the next Council ‐not suggesting we appropriate ‐
we think you should keep some of this in reserve for consideration and compare it to all other priorities
it gives the future Council the option
Mike Beckstead; we could do the same with $350K of operating revenue ‐ set it aside
$350 and $5 as a combination strategy could cover the gap
ACTION ITEM:
Gerry Horak; When this comes to Council, can you include a graph showing how much money is coming in from
the Capital Fund and from the different sources – money coming in and going out – reserves ‐ and include
project priorities
Mayor Troxell; I like the equity lenses point that Gerry brought up – right now those neighborhoods are
impacted by this and it is getting worse – by building big infrastructure like an overpass / grade separated – we
need to show that is actually improving ‐ show how we are reconnecting through the neighborhood street and
park – should be part and parcel to the whole story
Darin Atteberry; abutments also need great attention and resource
A barrier can be really bad if not built properly ‐ it will have negative impact and statement about equity
7
Mayor Troxell; 392 interchange ‐ ‐ natural appearances ‐ less structural in terms of how it is integrated into a
neighborhood
Integrate into neighborhood equity
Gerry Horak; would suggest we work with our CPIO folks to get at what is happening on the project as it moves
forward
Mike Beckstead; we will bring that forward
