HomeMy WebLinkAboutRIGDEN FARM - OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 56-98B - CORRESPONDENCE - TRANSPORTATION ISSUERidden ODP Transportation Issues:
• Drake/CR9 intersection spacing at least every 660'.
• NC potential intersection location (660' or less requirement)
The old remaining portions of Drake and CR9 will need a discription of what happens
k� _ PJb(f to them. Maybe Drake will remain public, and CR9 becomes the ownership of the
%gravel company. This may be an ODP issue, or maybe a phase 2 issue. These issues
Lshould be addressed, with Sheri Wamhoff.
-Pots t � �,t �� • It appears that pedestrians and bicycles traveling north on County Road 9 who want
f to make the connection to the Poudre River trail are required to take the new curved
road out of the way to the west before connecting to a trail accessing the Poudre River
trail system. A more direct connection should be provided.
• It is recommended/required that any bicycle/pedestrian paths that follow the
alignment of the old portions of Drake Rd and County Road 9 must be separated from
the roadway because there will continue to be a high number of cement and gravel
trucks using those roadways.
• It is recommended/required that the any new pedestrian/bicycle path that connects
roughly follows the old alignment of County Road 9 be located on the west side of
the Fossil Creek Inlet Canal.
• nc rac the Traffic Operations Engineer, is not inclined to approve the Custer
Drive traffic signal location when it is less than'[ mile from the major intersection of
Timberline and Drake. Although the Land Use Code specifies that potentially
r signalized intersections must be no further apart than'/4 mile along arterials, it does
Ue not address the minimum spacing requirement. The minimum spacing requirement is
Wl �A decided on a case by case basis. Eric Bracke has the authority to specify the
minimum requirements. He weighs several factors when deciding what that
minimum spacing should be. Dialog should be opened with him to determine what
factors lead him to his decision, and discuss with him if there are any other factors
that can be influenced to allow the proposed 1000' spacing to occur.
• There are some lane and median concerns listed on the Traffic Operations comment
sheet. Be sure to coordinate which of these concerns must be addressed at the ODP
stage, and which can be addressed when the Timberline street improvement project
comes in.

Matt is also working on revising the bike/ped LOS portion of his study related to the phasing plans for the
project. - Just an FYI.

P.S. If there's not a signal at Custer - is there another location that you would agree to for a ped zing
between Vermont & Timberline?

FYI.
have asked for Supplemental information concerning the Rigden Farm TIS. In particular, I am not
inclined to approve a traffic signal location less than 1/4 mile on a major arterial (Custer Drive). I have
asked Matt Delich to provide a signal progression analysis as part of the TIS.
