Safety concerns have arisen regarding the proposed bike path design where it diverts off
of Horsetooth Road and then crosses Stanford in the crosswalk. In order to improve safety
and prevent potential accidents with right turning vehicles please provide the following
measures; 1) Signs (2) along Horsetooth Road that informs both cyclists and motor
vehicles that the bike lane ends - the signs should be spaced to provide sufficient time to
acknowledge and prepare, 2) The off-street bike path surface should be treated in a
manner to slow cyclists and alert them to their new surroundings, 3) And a sign informing
cyclists that they must dismount their bike in the crosswalk (see red lines). Furthermore,
the path will serve only one way bike traffic, please narrow the width to aid in the
reduction of bike speeds.

Hi Steve,
Tom Reiff and David Averill approached me with safety concerns regarding the bike lane/sidewalk
configuration on Horsetooth for the Bella Vista project. I have attached their comment as well as put into
DMS as a formal comment. This is coming late and I apologize, but they felt strongly that this was a
safety issue that could be easily addressed by the applicant. I will forward you accompanying redline
comments in inter -office mail today as well.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can provide you with additional information
MJ
