EXHIBIT A
STATE HIGHWAY 14 ACCESS CONTROL PLAN
State Highway 14 (Jefferson Street& Riverside Avenue),
United States 287 (North College Avenue) to State Highway 14(Mulberry Street)
Larimer County, Colorado
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Access Control Plan is to provide the City of Fort Collins (hereafter
referred to as the"City'), and the Colorado Department of Transportation (hereafter referred
to as the "Department") with a comprehensive roadway access control plan for SH 14
(Jefferson Street and Riverside Avenue) from the junction of United States 287 (North
College Avenue) to the junction of Mulberry Street (hereafter referred to as the "Segment").
The development of this Access Control Plan adheres to the requirements of the State
Highway Access Code (2 C.C.R. 601-1) (the "Access Code"), Section 2.12, 1998. It is the
agreement of all parties that all access decisions for this Segment of state highway shall be
in conformance with this intergovernmental agreement.
II. RESPONSIBILITIES
Responsibility for construction costs for roads, closures, traffic control and/or any other
features covered by this agreement and plan shall be based on a fair and equitable allocation
of the costs as agreed upon by the involved parties. No party shall be required to expend
its public funds for such undertaking without the express prior approval of its governing body
or director. Private development-related access improvements will be the responsibility of
the property owner.
111. ACCESS LOCATIONS
Accesses described in Section VI may be closed, relocated, or consolidated, or turning
movements may be restricted when in the opinion of the City,with Department concurrence, or in
the opinion of the Department, any of the following conditions occur: a) the access is detrimental to
the public's health, safety and welfare, b)the access has developed an accident history that is
correctable by restricting access,or c) the restrictions are necessitated by a change in road or
traffic conditions.
IV. CHANGE OF LAND USE
Future land development (different land use) will not change these principles. If access to
the local road system is available, existing direct private property access(es) to SH 14 will
be closed. If access to the local road system is not possible, a RIRO will be allowed. Right
turn deceleration or acceleration lanes will not be required along this corridor for private
driveway access points.
V. AMENDMENTS
Any proposed access change or addition not identified in this Exhibit will require that an
amendment request be processed as described in Exhibit C.
5
VI. ACCESS TYPES
There are a number of existing access conditions on SH 14 which will be modified with
similar improvements in the future. Instead of providing a full description for each access
point, the following descriptions summarize this typical information and are referenced in the
Individual Access Point Descriptions (See Section VII).
Public Road Unsignalized Intersection (PRU)
These types of highway accesses are full or limited movement, at-grade, stop-controlled
intersections. Public roads along the corridor are city streets, alleys, or state highways. Right
or left turn acceleration and deceleration lanes will be constructed that meet the design
requirements and standards of the Access Code. These highway accesses will be modified
according to the following scenarios:
Scenario 1. Public Road Unsignalized Intersections with adequate intersection spacing
(PRU1). If adequate spacing can be provided for the installation of an inbound left turn lane,
then %movement access will be allowed. The length of the left turn lane shall meet current
Access Code standards. % movement access may be provided for one direction of travel
without requiring the installation of a % movement access in the opposing direction.
Signalization of these accesses will not be allowed, and if signal warrants are met (as stated
in the latest edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices U.S. Department of
Transportation, Federal Highway Administration) or if the intersection develops an accident
history (defined as four reported accidents in a 12-month period) that is correctable by
restricting access, then intersection will be modified to a RIRO only access point.
Scenario 2. Public Road Unsignalized Intersections with inadequate intersection spacing
(PRU2). At those locations where intersection spacing does not meet the Access Code
standards for installation of an inbound left turn lane, access will be restricted to RIRO
movements only.
Public Road Signalized Intersection (PRS)
Public road signalized intersections are at-grade, full movement public road intersections
with a traffic signal. Signalized public roads include state highways and city streets. Right
or left turn deceleration lanes will be constructed that meet the design requirements and
standards of the Department.
Driveway Access (DA)
Driveway accesses are full or partial movement highway accesses serving numerous types
of private properties. None have acceleration or deceleration lanes and they are generally
used multiple times daily. A driveway access can be a drop curb or other highway access
that serves businesses or private residences. These accesses will be modified or closed
under the following circumstances:
1._ Closed if the land use changes or if there is a change that will increase the daily trip
generation by 20 percent or more and if access to the local street network is available.
6
2. Modified to RIRO only by installing a raised median or regulatory signing.
nts and
3 access tlentireredevelopment cannot be provided from reasonable
rdeveloped land has multiple access a City street
o the
4. Only one access should be allowed for each individual parcel/property which has no
other access available. Consolidation of driveway accesses will be encouraged
among adjoining property owners, particularly when access to a City street cannot be
provided and the sharing of access would reduce the number of direct access points to the
state highway for two or more properties.
VII. INDIVIDUAL ACCESS POINT DESCRIPTIONS
The following is a description of all existing and future access points, including their current
status and changes which are included in the Access Control Plan. All locations are defined
by the approximate milepoint (in hundredths of a mile) althe Access Control Planrlfor SHine of t14

access control plan for the Segment for the purposes above recited; and
WHEREAS, the development of this Access Control Plan adheres to the requirements of the
Access Code, Section 2.12.
1
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings
herein contained, the Agencies agree as follows:
1• This Agreement shall constitute an approved Access Control Plan for the Segment, within

6, This Agreement is based upon and is intended to be consistent with the Access Law and the
Access Code as now or hereafter constituted. An amendment to either the Access Law or
the Access Code which becomes effective after the effective date of this Agreement and
which conflicts irreconcilably with an express provision of this Agreement may be grounds
for revision of this Agreement.
7. This Agreement does not create any current financial obligation for any Agency. Any future
financial obligation of any Agency shall be subject to the execution of an appropriate
encumbrance document, where required.Agencies involved in or affected by any particular
or site-specific undertaking provided for herein will cooperate with each other to agree upon
a fair and equitable allocation of the costs associated therewith, but, notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement, no Agency shall be required to expend its public funds for such
undertaking without the express prior approval of its governing body or director. All financial

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
AMONG
THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS,
LARIMER COUNTY,
AND
THE STATE OF COLORADO
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into effective as of the day of 2000, by and
among the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County (hereafter referred to collectively as the "City and
County"), and the State of Colorado, Department of Transportation (hereafter referred to as the
"Department"), all of said parties being referred to collectively herein as the "Agencies."
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Agencies are authorized by the provisions of Article XIV. Section 18(2)(a),
Colorado Constitution, and Sections 29-1-201, et. seq., C.R.S., to enter into contracts with each
other for the performance of functions which they are authorized by law to perform on their own; and
WHEREAS, each Agency is authorized by Section 43-2-147(1)(a), C.R.S., to regulate access
to public highways within its jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS,the coordinated regulation of vehicular access to public highways is necessary
to maintain the efficient and smooth flow of traffic, to reduce the potential for traffic accidents, to
protect the functional level and optimize the traffic capacity, to provide an efficient spacing of traffic
signals, and to protect the public health, safety and welfare; and
WHEREAS, the Agencies desire to provide for the coordinated regulation of vehicular access
for the section of State Highway 14 between Riverside Avenue (MP 135.70) and Interstate 25 (MP
138.99) (hereafter referred to as the "Segment'), which is within the jurisdiction of the Agencies; and
WHEREAS, the Agencies are authorized pursuant to Section 2.12 of the 1998 State Highway
Access Code, 2 C.C.R. 601-1 (the "Access Code")to achieve such objective by written agreement
among themselves adopting and implementing a comprehensive and mutually acceptable highway
access control plan for the Segment for the purposes above recited; and
WHEREAS, the development of this Access Control Plan adheres to the requirements of the
Access Code, Section 2.12.
1
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings
herein contained, the Agencies agree as follows:
1. This Agreement shall constitute an approved access control plan for the Segment, within the
meaning of Section 2.12 of the Access Code.
2. The Agencies shall regulate access to the Segment in compliance with the Highway Access
Law, Section 43-2-147, C.R.S. (the "Access Law"), the Access Code, and this Agreement,
including Exhibits A (SH 14 Access Control Plan), B (Illustrative Aerial Photos) and C
(Access Control Plan Amendment Process). Vehicular access to the Segment shall be
permitted only when such access is in compliance with the Access Law, the Access Code
and this Agreement.
3. Accesses which were in existence in compliance with the Access Law prior to the effective
date of this Agreement may continue in existence until such time as a change in the access
is required by the Access Law, the Access Code or this Agreement or in the course of
highway construction. When closure, modification, or relocation of access is required, the
Agency(ies) having jurisdiction shall utilize appropriate legal process to effect such action.
4. Actions taken by any Agency with regard to transportation planning and traffic operations
within the areas described in Exhibit A to this Agreement shall be in conformity with this
Agreement.
5. Parcels of real property created after the effective date of this Agreement which adjoin the
Segment shall not be provided with direct access to the Segment unless the location, use
and design thereof conform to the provisions of this Agreement.
6. This Agreement is based upon and is intended to be consistent with the Access Law and the
Access Code as now or hereafter constituted. An amendment to either the Access Law or
the Access Code which becomes effective after the effective date of this Agreement and
which conflicts irreconcilably with an express provision of this Agreement may be grounds
for revision of this Agreement.
7. This Agreement does not create any current financial obligation for any Agency. Any future
financial obligation of any Agency shall be subject to the execution of an appropriate
encumbrance document, where required. Agencies involved in or affected by any particular
or site-specific undertaking provided for herein will cooperate with each other to agree upon
a fair and equitable allocation of the costs associated therewith, but, notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement, no Agency shall be required to expend its public funds for such
undertaking without the express prior approval of its goveming body or director. All financial
obligations of the Agencies hereunder shall be contingent upon sufficient funds therefor
being appropriated, budgeted, and otherwise made available.
2
8. Should any one or more sections or provisions of this Agreement be judicially determined to
be invalid or unenforceable, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remaining
provisions of this Agreement, the intention being that the various provisions hereof are
severable.
9. This writing supersedes and controls all prior written and oral agreements and
representations of the Agencies and constitutes the whole agreement between them with
respect to the subject matter of this instrument. No additional or different oral representation,
promise or agreement shall be binding on any Agency. This Agreement may be amended
or terminated only in writing executed by the Agencies on express authorization from their
respective governing bodies or director. The Agencies agree to confer at least every three
years with respect to whether a necessity exists for amendment to the Agreement, or
regarding the continuation hereof, or both. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, this
Agreement shall remain in force until terminated by written agreement of all of the agencies.
10. By signing this Agreement, the Agencies acknowledge and represent to one another that all
procedures necessary to validly contract and execute this Agreement have been performed,
and that the persons signing for each Agency have been duly authorized by such Agency to
do so.
11. No portion of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any immunities the
parties or their officers or employees may possess, nor shall any portion of this Agreement
be deemed to have created a duty of care which did not previously exist with respect to any
person not a party to this Agreement .
12. It is expressly understood and agreed that the enforcement of the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, and all rights of action relating to such enforcement, shall be strictly
reserved to the undersigned parties and nothing in this Agreement shall give or allow any
claim or right of action whatsoever by any other person not included in this Agreement. It is
the express intention of the undersigned parties that any entity other than the undersigned
parties receiving services or benefits under this Agreement shall be an incidental beneficiary
only.

EXHIBIT A
SH 14 ACCESS CONTROL PLAN
State Highway 14 (Mulberry Street)
Riverside Avenue (also SH 14)to Interstate 25
Larimer County, Colorado
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Access Control Plan is to provide the City of Fort Collins and Larimer
County, (hereafter referred to collectively as the "City and County"), and the Colorado
Department of Transportation (hereafter referred to as the "Department") with a
comprehensive roadway access control plan for SH 14 from the junction of Riverside Avenue
(also SH 14) to the junction of Interstate 25 (hereafter referred to as the "Segment"). The
development of this Access Control Plan adheres to the requirements of the State Highway
Access Code (2 C.C.R. 601-1) (the"Access Code', Section 2.12, 1998. It is the agreement
of all- parties that all access decisions for this Segment of state highway shall be in
conformance with this intergovernmental agreement.
II. RESPONSIBILITIES
Responsibility for construction costs for roads, closures, traffic control and/or any other
features covered by this agreement and plan shall be based on a fair and equitable allocation
of the costs as agreed upon by the involved parties. No Agency shall be required to expend
its public funds for such undertaking without the express prior approval of its governing body
or director. Private development-related access improvements will be the responsibility of
the property owner.
III. ACCESS LOCATIONS
Accesses described in Section VII, below, may be closed, relocated, or consolidated, or
turning movements may be restricted when in the opinion of the City and County with
Department concurrence, or in the opinion of the Department, any of the following conditions
occur- a)the access is detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, b)the access has
developed an accident history that is correctable by restricting access, or c) the restrictions
are necessitated by a change in road or traffic conditions.
IV. CHANGE OF LAND USE
Future land development (different land use)will not change these principles. New, private
driveway access to the state highway will not be allowed. No additional Frontage Road
connections to the mainline of SH 14 will be allowed.
V. AMENDMENTS
Any proposed access change or addition not identified in this Exhibit will require that an
amendment request be processed as described in Exhibit C.
5
VI. ACCESS TYPES
There are a number of existing access conditions on SH 14 which will be modified with
similar improvements in the future. Instead of providing a full description for each access
point, the following descriptions summarize this typical information and are referenced in the
individual access point discussions (Section 7).
Public Road Unsignalized Intersection (PRU)
These types of highway accesses are full movement, at-grade, stop-controlled intersections.
Public roads along the corridor are City or County streets. Most unsignalized public road
intersections have deceleration and acceleration lanes. These highway accesses will be
modified according to the following scenarios:
Scenario 1: Public Road Unsignalized Intersections with adequate intersection spacing
(PRU.1). A% movement access will be allowed if adequate spacing can be provided for the
installation of an inbound left turn lane. The length of the left turn lane shall meet the current
Access Code standards. A% movement access may be provided for one direction of travel
without requiring the installation of a % movement access in the opposing direction.
Signalization of these accesses will not be allowed, and if signal warrants are met (as stated
in the latest edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, U.S. Department of
Transportation, Federal Highway Administration) or if the intersection develops an accident
history (defined as four reported accidents in a 12-month period) that is correctable by
restricting access, the intersection will be modified to a RIRO only access point or removed.
Scenario 2: Public Road Unsignalized Intersection with inadequate intersection spacing
(PRU2). At those locations where intersection spacing does not meet the Access Code
standards for the installation of an inbound left turn lane, access will be restricted to RIRO
movements only or removed.
Scenario 3: Public Road Unsignalized Intersections programmed to be signalized (PRU3).
These unsignalized public roads are identified by the Access Control Plan for future
signalization. Signalization will be allowed once appropriate signal warrants are met (as
stated in the latest edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, U.S.
Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration) and an appropriate
engineering study indicates that a signal will improve the overall safety and/or operation of
the intersection.
Frontage Road Intersection with the State Highway (FRSH)
Frontage road intersections with the state highway are at-grade, full movement public road,
stop-controlled intersections. These intersections are closely spaced to public street
intersections on the state highway. These intersections will be relocated a minimum of 150
feet from the northernmost or southernmost through travel lane on the state highway to
provide sufficient vehicle stacking distance for access onto the state highway.
6
Public Road Siqnalized Intersection (PRS)
Public road signalized intersections are at-grade, full movement public road intersections
with a traffic signal. Signalized public roads include City and County streets. Right and/or
left turn deceleration lanes will be constructed that meet the design requirements and
standards of the Access Code.
Driveway Accesses (DA)
Only three driveway accesses will be allowed directly onto SH14 along the corridor. These
are the two existing access points for the City of Fort Collins Water Reclamation Facility
(northside of SH14) and one to vacant property across from this facility on the southside of
SH14 . These accesses shall be restricted to RIRO only movements.
Frontage Road Driveway Access (FRDA)
Driveway accesses are full or partial movement accesses with the frontage roads serving
numerous types of private properties. None have acceleration or deceleration lanes and they
are generally used multiple times daily. A driveway access can be a drop curb or other
highway access that serves businesses or private residences. These accesses will be
modified or closed under the following circumstances:
• Consolidated per Access Code requirements if the redeveloped land has multiple access
points and reasonable access to the entire redevelopment cannot be provided from a
City or County street.
• Shared with adjoining property when access to a City or County street cannot be provided
and the sharing of access would reduce the number of direct access points to the state
highway/frontage road for two or more properties.
• Construct acceleration and deceleration lanes as required by Access Code.
VII. INDIVIDUAL ACCESS POINT DESCRIPTIONS
The following is a description of all existing and future access points which connect directly
to the SH 14 mainline, including their current status and changes which are included in the
Access Control Plan. All locations are defined by the approximate milepoint (in hundredths
of a mile) along SH 14 at the centerline of the access.

14
EXHIBIT A
US287 ACCESS CONTROL PLAN
US287 (North College Avenue)
State Highway 14 (Jefferson Street) to State Highway 1
Larimer County, Colorado
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Access Control Plan is to provide the City of Fort Collins and Larimer
County, (hereafter referred to collectively as the "City and County", and the Colorado
Department of Transportation (hereafter referred to as the "Department") with a
comprehensive roadway access control plan for United States (US) 287 from the junction of
State Highway 14 (Jefferson Street) to the junction of State Highway 1 (hereafter referred to
as the "Segment"). The development of this Access Control Plan adheres to the
requirements of the State Highway Access Code (2 C.C.R. 601-1) (the "Access Code"),
Section 2.12, 1998. It is the agreement of all parties that all access decisions for this
Segment of state highway shall be in conformance with this intergovernmental agreement.
II. RESPONSIBILITIES
Responsibility for construction costs for roads, closures, traffic control and/or any other
features covered by this agreement and plan shall be based on a fair and equitable allocation
of the costs as agreed upon by the involved Agencies. No party shall be required to expend
its public funds for such undertaking without the express prior approval of its governing body
or director. Private development-related access improvements will be the responsibility of
the property owner.
III. ACCESS LOCATIONS
Accesses described in Section VII, below, may be closed, relocated, or consolidated, or
turning movements may be restricted when in the opinion of the City and County with
Department concurrence, or in the opinion of the Department, any of the following conditions
occur. a)the access is detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, b)the access has
developed an accident history that is correctable by restricting access, or c) the restrictions
are necessitated by a change in road or traffic conditions.
IV. CHANGE OF LAND USE
Future land development (different land use) will not change these principles. If access to
the local road system is available, existing direct private property access(es) to US 287 will
be closed. If access to the local road system is not possible, a Right-In/Right-Out (BIRO)will
be allowed with deceleration and acceleration lanes as required according to the guidelines
in the Access Code.
V. AMENDMENTS
Any proposed access change or addition not identified in this Exhibit will require that an
amendment request be processed as described in Exhibit C.
5
VI. POTENTIAL ACCESS MODIFICATIONS
There are a number of existing access conditions on US 287 which will be modified with
similar improvements in the future. Instead of providing a full description for each access
point, the following descriptions summarize this typical information and are referenced in the
individual access point discussions (Section VII).
Public Road Unsignalized Intersection (PRU)
These types of highway accesses are full movement, at-grade, stop-controlled intersections.
Public roads along the corridor are city streets. Most unsignalized public road intersections
have a left turn deceleration lane, typically part of a shared center turn lane. These highway
accesses will be modified according to the following scenarios:
• Scenario 1. Public Road Unsignalized Intersections with adequate intersection spacing
(PRU1). 3/4 movement access will be allowed if adequate spacing can be provided for
the installation of an inbound left turn lane. The length of the left turn lane shall meet
current Access Code standards. 3/4 movement access may be provided for one
direction of travel without requiring the installation of a 3/4 movement access in the
opposing direction. Signalization of these accesses will not be allowed, and if signal
warrants are met(as stated in the latest edition of the Manual On Uniform Traffic Control
Devices, U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration) or if the
intersection develops an accident history (defined as four reported accidents in a 12-
month period)that is correctable by restricting access, the intersection will be reviewed
for modified to a RIRO only access point.
• Scenario 2. Public Road Unsignalized Intersections with inadequate intersection spacing
(PRU2). At those locations where intersection spacing does not meet the Access Code
standards for the installation of an inbound left turn lane, access will be restricted to
RIRO movements only.
• Scenario 3. Public Road Unsignalized Intersections programmed to be signalized(PRU3).
These unsignalized public roads are identified by the Access Control Plan for future
signalization. Signalization will be allowed once appropriate signal warrants are met (as
stated in the latest edition of the Manual On Uniform Traffic Control Devices, U.S.
Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration) and an appropriate
engineering study indicates that a signal will improve the overall safety and/or operation
of the highway.
Public Road Signalized Intersection (PRS)
Public road signalized intersections are at-grade, full movement public road intersections
with a traffic signal. Signalized public roads include state highways and city streets. Right
or left turn deceleration lanes will be constructed that meet the design requirements and
standards of the Access Code.
6
Driveway Access (DA)
Driveway accesses are full or partial movement highway accesses serving numerous types
of private properties. Few have acceleration or deceleration lanes and they are generally
used multiple times daily. A driveway access can be a drop curb or other highway access
that serves businesses or private residences. These accesses will be modified or closed
under the following circumstances:
• They will be closed if the land use changes or if there is a change that will increase the
daily trip generation by 20 percent or more and if access to the local street network is
available.
• They will be modified to RIRO by installing a raised median. This modification will occur
only after reasonable alternative access is provided either by provision of safe turn lanes
at the nearest full-movement/signalized public road intersection so that U-turns can be
allowed, by constructing the parallel street system for alternative access, or through other
appropriate traffic engineering measures.
• Consolidated if the redeveloped land has multiple access points and/or reasonable
access to the entire redevelopment cannot be provided from a City street.
• Shared with adjoining property when access to a City street cannot be provided and the
sharing of access would reduce the number of direct access points to the state highway
for two or more properties.
• Acceleration and deceleration lanes shall be provided as to conform to the Access Code.
VII. INDIVIDUAL ACCESS POINT DESCRIPTIONS
The following is a description of all existing and future access points, including their current
status and changes which are required. All locations are defined by the approximate
milepoint (in hundredths of a mile) along US 287 at the centerline of the access. The Access
Control Plan for US 287 is in two parts, a short-term plan to improve the immediate access
and safety concerns of the corridor, and a long-range plan to accommodate the future
capacity and circulation needs of the corridor.
Short-Term Plan - North College Avenue
The more significant improvements along North College Avenue for short-term plan are listed
below. The list is not a complete list of all the recommended improvements, however. Other
improvements have been shown on the aerial photographs and typically include improvements to
a specific access such as combining/sharing accesses,closing an access or providing other
means of accessing the state highway system. All of the recommended access changes and
corridor improvements are listed in Exhibit B. The improvements are listed in order from south end
of the project to north end.
Construct a second southbound left turn lane at Jefferson Street(MP346.66). In addition,
modify the existing traffic signal to signalize the westbound Jefferson Street right turn
7
movement and provide geometric improvements to the right turn lane. This modification will 1
prevent vehicle weaving between this movement and the northbound left turn lane at Cherry
Street(MP346.75).
➢ Construct a raised median on North College Avenue directly to the north of Cherry/Willow
Street(MP346.75). Medians in this location would connect existing medians to the north and
provide an almost continuous median between Jefferson Street and the Cache La Poudre
River. A"back access"connection to Willow Street should be provided for affected properties
along the east side of North College Avenue,specifically, Rapid Lube and Just Office
Furniture.
➢ Construct a definitive access at the JAX Mercantile Company(approximately MP347.40).
Currently,access is provided along the entire frontage of this parcel and a high accident
history exists. By defining a specific access location,turning movements can be concentrated
atone location, thereby reducing the accident potential.
➢ Construct a RIRO turn restriction island at Ken's Muffler Shop(MP347.52) to limit vehicle
movements to right turns only.
➢ Establish via pavement marking changes separate northbound and southbound left turn lanes
between Hickory(MP347.54) and Conifer Streets (MP347.50)on North College Avenue.
➢ Construct turn restriction islands at the El Palimino Motel to limit vehicle movements to only
RIRO at the south access (MP347.52 nearest Conifer Street) and to'44movements at the
northern access (MP347.55 directly north of Hickory Street).
➢ Improve the area between Terry's Midtown and Little Guys Movers (MP347.74) to establish an
"alley type" access between North College Avenue and the public alley behind these
properties. This area could be used for improved access; however, legal constraints regarding
actual property ownership are in question.
➢ Pave the public alley that is directly to the east of North College Avenue, and between
Bristlecone Drive and Conifer Street. Improvements to the alley would promote back access to
eight separate parcels in the area.
➢ Construct a raised median along North College Avenue directly to the north of Willox Lane
(MP348.04). In addition, provide an alternative"back access"to Willox Lane for affected
properties along the east side of North College Avenue, specifically, the Pobre Ponchos
restaurant and the residential apartments at 1804 North College Avenue.
8
Long Range Plan— North College Avenue
Corridor-wide improvements include constructing the City of Fort Collins arterial street
cross-section, including raised, landscaped medians. The raised medians should not be
constructed until appropriate segments of the parallel street system are constructed.
A parallel street system of Collector level roadways are to be constructed on both the
east and west sides of North College Avenue. Primary limits for the parallel street system
are between Vine Drive and Bristlecone Drive on the east side of North College and
between Alpine Street and State Highway 1 on the west side of North College.
Additional RIRO access can be provided at the approximate locations shown on the aerial
maps (Exhibit B). The location of these access points can fluctuate and is dependent
upon the size or type of redevelopment that may occur. The minimum access spacing for
a this roadway would be between 225 —275 feet depending upon the posted speed limit.
The spacing requirements represent the distance between adjacent access points or
between an access and an adjacent street intersection.
The specific recommended improvements for North College Avenue are listed below(also refer to
