CITYWIDE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS PROJECT
Funding Source: KFCG Funds
Estimated Project Budget: $450,000
Status: On Budget, On Schedule
The City of Fort Collins Pedestrian Plan addresses citywide pedestrian needs and is a
data-driven approach based on the importance for safe, sustainable walking within City
limits. It however lacks comprehensive condition data for the City’s sidewalk system.
Prior to the beginning of the Pedestrian Needs Assessment project, there was not an
inventory of existing sidewalks or sidewalk deficiencies. This project provides a
complete City sidewalk inventory, identifies sidewalk inadequacies, and identifies
inadequate handicap accessibilities according to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
requirements.
Data collection has been completed with approximately 540 street miles of sidewalk
assessed and inventoried at this time.
37,741 accessible ramps have been identified as acceptable, substandard, or missing in
accordance with the ADA requirements.
Staff has implemented a methodology and analysis program used to prioritize pedestrian
projects. This program takes into account a variety of factors such as, but not limited to,
demand, corridor function, and high priority areas.
o Upcoming project locations: Olive between Smith and Whedbee in collaboration
with the Street Maintenance Program group. New sidewalk installation along
4
Parker/Remington and Stuart/Remington. Sidewalk repairs along
Meldrum/Oak and Whitcomb/Maple.
o Current projects: Temporary sidewalk connection around the large tree is
complete at Lemay/Parkwood. Landscaping for Parkwood/Lemay median to
be complete in spring. Repaired 80’ of non-compliant sidewalk along the
north side of Cherry west of Mason. Installed 200’ of missing sidewalk along
south side of Cherry from Howes to the mid-block crosswalk – landscaping
work is currently in progress. Replacing four non-compliant accessible
ramps at the intersection of Cherry/Mason.
Prioritization Model is complete and has been posted to the engineering website:
http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/pedneeds.php
Staff is continuing to collect and update data from projects and developments that
occurred 2013 and 2014.
Staff has finalized the project list for 2015.
MULBERRY BRIDGE (SH 14) AT THE POUDRE RIVER ENHANCEMENTS
Funding Source: City of Fort Collins
Estimate Project Budget: $750,000
Status: On Budget, On Schedule
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is replacing the Mulberry Bridge
(State Highway 14) over Poudre River Bridge starting in the fall of 2014. Construction
was delayed due to the September 2013 flood.
Due to the construction, eastbound traffic on Mulberry will be detoured for the duration
of construction.
CDOT has initiated the project. All detours are active. The City continues to work with
CDOT to monitor the detours, making adjustments as needed. The City is also working
with CDOT to ensure appropriate levels of outreach and messaging is provided to the
public.
The City is working with CDOT to add city-funded enhancements to the bridge including
decorative railings, landscaping and urban design features.
5
CDOT continues to focus on surface improvements associated with Phase I
construction. The two pedestrian bridges on the south side of Mulberry Street have
been relocated off site in preparation for the Phase II construction.
The City has initiated the final design phase for additional urban design elements and
landscaping along Mulberry Street between Riverside Avenue and Lemay Avenue.
Improvements are being coordinated with the various items planned for the bridge and
surrounding developments.
WEST MULBERRY BRIDGE REPLACEMENT DESIGN
Funding Source: Colorado Off System Bridge Program (BRO) funds and KFCG 2011
Estimated Project Budget: $1.1M
Status: On Budget, On Schedule
The goal of the project is to replace the existing structurally deficient bridge with a new
bridge that meets the current standards.
The posted weight limit on this bridge precludes the passage of emergency vehicles from
the nearby fire station.
In December 2011, the City received a grant for $700,000 in Colorado Off System Bridge
Program (BRO) funds for some of the construction cost.
Construction is planned for winter 2015/spring 2016.

maintenance schedules to ensure the roadway is reviewed for both short and long term
impacts.
Both locations are under construction currently by Connell Resources.
Progress has been efficient and on schedule. The base, or floor, at Oak and
Whitcomb is complete. The installation of pre-cast box sections will start in early
March and track quickly across the Mulberry Pool parking lot and Canyon Avenue.
Extensive outreach, including door to door notification, press releases and social
media posts have all been utilized to alert the general public of the changes with the
active constructions sites. Communication will continue when conditions change as
well as when segments are re-opened.
Floodplain clearances have been approved for construction, and the pertinent flood plain
use permits are being issued.
Staff has sent the current plan sheets to the legal staff of the Arthur Ditch for review and
impending ditch crossing agreement.
Staff continues to perform outreach to adjacent residents to provide additional
information on the project and its schedule as it becomes available.
ARTHUR DITCH BOX SECTION REPLACEMENT – LOOMIS/OLIVE
Funding Sources: KFCG / Operation Services, Facilities
Estimated Project Budget: $2M
Status: On Budget, On Schedule
The intent of this project is to replace a structurally deficient bridge/box sections with
new concrete box culverts.

The Olive and Loomis replacement location plan sheets are near complete. This project
will have some front end utility work to coordinate and staff is sorting through those
8
details for relocation efforts in advance of the box replacement to occur in the
spring/summer of 2015.
Plan finalization will come after the completion of Canyon Street and
Oak/Whitcomb. This is being done to allow any “lessons learned” to be
incorporated into the project which are expected to add efficiencies and savings to
the project.
Floodplain clearances have been approved for construction, and the pertinent flood plain
use permits are being issued.
Staff has received the approval of the Arthur Ditch for the necessary ditch crossing
agreement.
Staff will continue to perform outreach to adjacent residents to provide additional
information on the project and its schedule as it becomes available.
SHIELDS STREET AND DRAKE ROAD INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS
Funding Sources: Federal Hazard Elimination Grant (90%) / Local Match (10%)
Estimated Project Budget: $986,000
Status: On Budget, On Schedule
The main goal of this project is to reduce the accident rate that occurs at this intersection
by installing dedicated right turn lanes in the north and southbound movements. A
reduced movement concept is also being considered to the Raintree Dr./Davidson Rd.
intersection 400 feet south of Shields and Drake.
This project has multiple funding sources - Federal Hazard Elimination Grant: $887,400,
City BOB funding $98,600
This project has completed the FIR portion of the design and is nearing FOR design

construction in the summer of 2016.
TIMBERLINE IMPROVEMENTS – PROSPECT TO BLACKBIRD
Funding Source: Building on Basics (BOB)
9
Estimated Project Budget: $3,500,000
Status: On Budget, On Schedule
The goals of this project are to improve air quality, reduce vehicle wait time and reduce
the accident rate by constructing a free-right turn and acceleration lane from eastbound
Prospect to southbound Timberline; as identified in our Arterial Intersection Prioritization
Study.
The 2005 ballot language stated this project will expand Timberline Road to four (4) lane
arterial standards including:
• Travel lanes, sidewalks, bike lanes and landscaped medians.
• Improvements to the Prospect and Timberline intersection and all its approaches
to add additional turn lanes.
The project will add a sidewalk connection for southbound Timberline from Prospect to
Blackbird.
Additionally, water quality features will be constructed to minimize the flow rates and
volumes as they outlet to the Spring Creek basin.
Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2016.
A communication plan (public outreach) is being developed and will be implemented
with the final design through construction.
The team is pursuing options for the deconstruction and reuse of two silos which need to
be removed for roadway, bicycle, pedestrian and landscape improvements.
The project website is available through the Engineering homepage
athttp://www.fcgov.com/engineering/prospect-timberline.php
9. HORSETOOTH AND TIMBERLINE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS

Estimated Project Budget: $3,500,000
Status: On Budget, On Schedule
10
The goal of this project is to relieve traffic congestion and vehicle wait time by
constructing additional intersection turn lanes.
The need for these safety and operational improvements were identified in the
Engineering Department’s recently completed Arterial Intersection Prioritization Study.
Turn lane needs are as follows:
o Right turn lane (southbound Timberline to westbound Horsetooth)
o Right turn lane (eastbound Horsetooth to southbound Timberline)
o Second left turn lane (northbound and southbound Timberline)
The project has moved to the final design phase, streetscape visioning and coordination
with property owners for real estate purchases (right of way and easements).
Additionally, the project will include median and landscape improvements, sidewalk and
bicycle lane improvements and transit infrastructure.
Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2015 and go through fall 2015.
A communication plan (public outreach) has been developed and will be unveiled to the
public in late February.

Funding Source: Building on Basics (BOB), Federal Grant (STP Metro) and Regional
Road Impact Fees
Estimated Project Budget: $1,700,000
Status: On Budget, On Schedule
11
The main goal of this project is to increase mobility at the intersection via multimodal
transportation improvements. Currently, the east-west lanes on Vine Drive are not
aligned causing additional independent traffic movements which effect the overall
operation of the signal timing.
The City received a federal grant award for $1,054,000 through the North Front Range
Metropolitan Planning Organization in the STP-Metro category.
Other safety concerns which will be corrected at the intersection entail: adding sidewalks
along the northern portion of the project, installing ADA compliant ramps/crosswalks and
adding bike lanes.
The City continues to coordinate our intersection project with Larimer County’s proposed
improvements to Shields Street from 400’ north of Vine Drive to Willox Lane. The
County received three federal grants for this stretch of roadway to accomplish the
following:
o Replace the Shields Street Bridge over the Poudre River
o Improve the Poudre River trailhead parking area and river access
o Reconstruct approximately one mile of Shields Street
Construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2015.
A communication plan (public outreach) is being developed and will be implemented
with the final design through construction.
The project website is available through the Engineering homepage at
http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/vsi.php
11. REMINGTON GREENWAY
Funding Source: FC Moves Funding
Estimated Project Budget: $650,000
Status: On Budget, On Schedule
12
The goal of this pilot project is to offer flexibility in street design to calm traffic, support
active modes of transportation and integrate stormwater management strategies.
The design calls for buffered bike lanes, removal of the traffic signals between Prospect
and Mulberry, and the construction of a mini roundabout with curb bulb outs at
Remington and Laurel.
Additional funds were added to the project with approval of the 2105 budget, and funds
from the Pedestrian Needs Assessment, to rebuild sections of sidewalk and curb ramps.
Also, Street Maintenance is using some of its 2015 budget for a surface treatment prior to
restriping the corridor. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2015.
We are actively coordinating our construction schedule with the US 287 (College
Avenue) CDOT resurfacing project.
A communication plan (public outreach) is being developed and will be implemented
with the final design through construction.

Status: On Budget, On Schedule
13
The goal of this project is to construct welcoming and aesthetically pleasing signs for
traffic entering the City of Fort Collins and the Town of Windsor along SH 392.
The City has pursued a number of potential sign locations. It was determined that the
medians will be the best location for the signs.
The City is partnering with the Town of Windsor for the design and construction of the
signs.
Contracts are in place between the City and the Contractor (L&M Enterprises), and
Windsor and the Contractor.
The Contractor is currently in the process of acquiring materials prior to construction.
Construction is expected to take place in early 2015.
13. DOWNTOWN RIVER DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS
Funding Source: Federal Grants, Local Funds, DDA Funds
Estimate Project Budget: $1.48 million
Status: On Budget, On Schedule
The City has contracted with Interwest Consulting to provide engineering services for
various City initiated improvements within the Downtown River District.
The project will also have the capability to provide various engineering services in
preparation of anticipated development.
The City has initiated two projects:
o Developing an implementation plan for improvements along Jefferson Street
between College Avenue and the Mountain /Lincoln intersection based on the
available budget;
o Developing a conceptual design for improvements along Willow Street between
North College Avenue and Linden Street. Additional projects to follow include
the development of engineering plans and specifications, as well as construction
of these improvements along both Jefferson and Willow based on the results of
the above.
The City has adjusted the proposed roadway cross section for Willow Street based on a
thorough review of the original design intent, and the new and emerging land uses in the
area. Focus will now shift to the preliminary engineering phase.
14
The City continues to work on the Jefferson Street Implementation plan, balancing
planned improvements with available budget and proposed development along the
corridor.
14. LINCOLN AND LEMAY IMPROVEMENTS / WOODWARD CAMPUS
Funding Sources: City of Fort Collins General Fund, Intersection
Improvement Fund
Estimated Project Budget: $2.1-2.3M
Status: On Budget, On Schedule
This project has several goals. The first is to install three new points of access/turn lanes
to the Woodward Campus, two on Lemay, and one on Lincoln. The project will also
complete the improvements along the west side of Lemay between Lincoln and
Mulberry. This includes completion of the Magnolia intersection to a full movement
location along with curb, gutter and sidewalk for the entire length. An interim sidewalk
will also be constructed along the Lincoln front that connects pedestrians to the Poudre
River bridge on Lincoln and into downtown. Lastly, a double left turn configuration will
be installed on southbound Lemay to eastbound Mulberry for as a result of anticipated
traffic volumes for this area.
The City and Mortenson Construction have partnered to identify and employ best
practices regarding communication, safety and general project information to the local
businesses and nearby neighborhoods.
Staff has been working closely with CDOT and contractor personnel to develop final
coordination logistics that will allow for some portions of adjacent Lemay improvements
to occur and tie in with the Mulberry Bridge progress.
Xcel Energy and their sub-contractor, Q-3, have substantially completed a 4” gas main
that will serve the Woodward Campus. The remainder of the line needs to cross (bore)
Lemay and Mulberry when a mutually agreed upon date with the Mulberry Bridge
project staff is determined.
The City anticipates some construction this 2014 winter season, with a suspension of
work until spring of 2015, at which time the substantial and final completion of the
15
project is expected. This schedule alternative has been coordinated with the
Woodward/Mortenson team who is receptive to the approach.
15. NORTH COLLEGE PEDESTRIAN GAP
Funding Sources: CMAQ Grant, URA Contribution, Pedestrian Program Funds
Estimated Project Budget: $900,000
Status: On Budget, On Schedule
The primary goal of this project is to complete a gap in pedestrian infrastructure
from Highway 1 to the south side of the Larimer & Weld Canal.
This project will construct a pedestrian connection crossing the Larimer & Weld
Canal extending north to SH 1 (Terry Lake Rd). The project impacts a federal
highway, and is located outside the City limits but within the Growth Management
Area.
The City received a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant for this
project. Developer contributions through the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) as
well as Pedestrian Program funds make up the local match portion of funding.
This project is in the pre-design phase. Staff anticipates that a design consultant
team will be selected by summer 2015. Staff has initiated coordination with both
CDOT and Larimer County on potential improvements.

PUBLIC SAFETY UPDATE
FORT COLLINS POLICE SERVICES
Fort Collins Police participate in the Polar Plunge for Colorado Special Olympics
Members of Fort Collins Police Services participated in the annual Polar Plunge raising money
for the Colorado Special Olympics. Both sworn and civilian employees made up the second
largest team to enter the icy cold waters of Horsetooth Reservoir. All moneys raised go to
support the Colorado Special Olympics and represent a commitment by local law enforcement to
assist this important cause.
Armed Robbery Suspect Arrested
On February 3
rd
the convenience store at 1113 W. Drake Road reported an armed robbery that
had just occurred. Officers responded to investigate the crime. A Fort Collins Police K9 team
was used to track the fleeing suspect and located the suspect hiding in a vehicle. The suspect was
arrested for Aggravated Robbery and transported to the Larimer County Jail.
29
Suspect Identified for a Series of Vandalisms
Fort Collins Police responded to reports of a series of “tagging” incidents striking multiple
businesses in the 2200 block of S. College. A security guard spotted the suspect and was able to
detain that person until officers could arrive and detain the suspect.
Missing Endangered Adult
A missing adult was reported by his family. Fort Collins Police mobilized several resources,
including issuing a silver alert, in an effort to find this missing adult. The man returned home
unharmed the following day, but was unable to communicate his whereabouts during his
absence.
Crime Prevention
This month, the Crime Prevention Specialist had 17 telephone calls that ranged from requesting
information on obtaining a restraining order to getting a booth for the 9 News Health Fair. There
were presentations/interactions with 210 people which included “Scams and Frauds” for a group
of retired seniors to several “Dealing With Difficult People” classes with various city
departments.
A breakdown of the month’s Crime Prevention activities follows:
Senior Pedestrian Safety at PVH - 15 attended
Skyline Mobile Home Park Meeting - 35 attended
RESTORE - 35 attended
Difficult People Building Permit - 8 attended
Property Mgrs. & Crime Free - 30 attended
Robbery Prevention ANB Bank - 12 attended
Scams and Frauds Home State Bank - 23 attended
Difficult People City Departments - 52 attended
Crime Prevention Tip
Because March is the snowiest month of the year, plan ahead for your trips around town. If the
roads seem too bad, just don’t go out. If you need to be driving in bad weather, be sure to slow
down and leave plenty of room between you and the car in front of you. And remember that just
because you may have four-wheel drive, it doesn’t mean that you can drive faster. Stopping
distance on the ice will always be accentuated with high speeds. In other words, the faster you
go, the longer it takes to stop. Period.
