RESOLUTION 86-99
OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AUTHORIZING THE FORT COLLINS MUNICIPAL RAILWAY SOCIETY
TO MODIFY THE HOURS OF OPERATION OF THE TROLLEY
ON THE FOURTH OF JULY AND AUTHORIZING
A MODIFICATION TO THE SEQUENCE IN WHICH THE
TROLLEY TRACK IS CONSTRUCTED
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Fort Collins has been petitioned
by the Fort Collins Municipal Railway Society ("Society") to permit the
modification to the hours of operation of the trolley and to the sequence
of construction of trolley track; and
WHEREAS, the Interim Operating Agreement executed between the Society
and the City of Fort Collins provides for the operation of the trolley
between the hours of 12 noon and 6 PM on Saturdays, Sundays, and City
observed holidays; and
WHEREAS, the volume of ridership on July 4, 1985, has prompted the
Society to request an extension of operating hours on the Fourth of July to
accommodate the increase in ridership and to help alleviate customary late
afternoon traffic increases around City Park on July 4; and
WHEREAS, currently the construction of trolley track is done in a
continuous line with median construction followed by intersection
construction; and
WHEREAS, the Society has determined that it is more economical and
less disruptive to regular traffic to construct the remaining intersection
portions of the trolley track before the remaining median portions and has
petitioned the City for permission to do so.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT
COLLINS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the hours during which the trolley may be operated on
the Fourth of July are changed to 9 AM through 5 PM.
Section 2. ' That the sequence of construction of the trolley track may
be altered subject to approval of a construction plan, traffic control plan
and timetable by the City Engineer and City Manager, so that all remaining
intersections may be constructed before the remaining medians.
Section 3. That no permission to alter the sequence of construction
be granted until (1) a cost estimate of the work to be done by a
professional track construction firm is prepared by the Railway Society,
(2) the Railway Society provides proof of availability of funds to
underwrite the cost of hiring a professional track construction firm, and
(3) a written contract for the work to be done by the professional track
construction firm is provided to the City and approved by City staff.
