We took a look at your request to move the pedestrian trail to the north of the drainage channel and feel
that the trail needs to stay in its planned alignment.
The trail needs to stay along its planned alignment on the south side of the channel. It does not matter
who has ownership of the property the requirements of the ODP still need to be met and when that
property develops they will be responsible for building the trail.
Moving the trail does not work as the planned enhanced pedestrian street crossing will not be located in a
place that would serve the trail. The enhanced crosswalk that was shown and to be built with the school
property will be in the wrong location if the trail is moved north. To rebuild this enhanced crosswalk to the
north would require reconstruction of Kansas Street as two additional bumpouts would need to be
designed and built in the street to accommodate the crossing. Doing so may require the addition of a
couple of storm inlets, piping and the loss of 4-6 on street parking spaces.
Therefore we feel that the best, easiest and cheapest solution is to keep the trail on the south side of the
drainage channel as was planned.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

Sheri,
If you may recall, back in April we met with regards to the submittal of the
"Northwest Roads" portion of Rigden Farms, directly east of the proposed
King Soopers site at Drake and Timberline.
One issue that came up was that we needed to continue the exisitng path from
Rigden Farms thru the "Northwest Roads" site and connect to the King Soopers
site. The obvious alignment then was across Kansas and continue within the
existing drainage easement across the site crossing the proposed Iowa Drive
and then connect to King Soopers.
Now that the project is back on track, we have been looking at the alignment
for this future path. Unfortunately a small portion of the of the expected
alignment is not part of this development and is owned by a separate party
(Tract S) Our solution would be to push the path further to the north.
Pedestrians would cross Kansas at the same location as expected and then
travel 100' to the north and then continue on the proposed path.
Pedestrians could also cross at the Limon Kansas intersection and then
travel 100' to the south to continue on the path.
Will this be acceptable to the City?
Please see attached sketch and give me a call to discuss. 491-9888
Thank You.
