Resolution adopted expressing concern regarding
the improvements of U. S. Highway 287
b4r. Bill Tiley read the following letter into the record and spoke in support
of the Council,resolution:
Fort Collins City Council
Colorado Highway Department
Gentlemen:
In 1963 when present expansion of the commercial area south of
Drake Road on Highway 287 was planned, this highway was planned to
serve both through and shopper orientated traffic. The highway was
improved with a raised median end with frontage roads to serve the
property along the highway. The frontage roads were contructed at
the expense.of. the land awners,_and.all development within the city
limits has proceeded since 1963 in the described manner'.
Now this pattern of good and safe development has been broken.
.The extension of the four-laned Highway 287 past the current.city
limits is being constructed without a raised median and even worse,
without frontage roads. We see this as a serious deviation to good
and safe commercial planning. In fact, it is a repeat of the drastic
mistake that has existed for many years on North College Avenue, and
it is this very section of highway that now must be bypassed.
,We,the undersigned, property owners. and merchants. support,, the
Fort Collins.City Council and recommend the passing of the proposed
resolution to the State Highway.Department.
