Dear tlr. ResSett:
In the past several months, you have had discussions with
property that you presently own just east of North College
of Conifer Street in Fort Collins. This property will be
right of way necessary for the interchange of the proposed
way with North College Avenue.

my staff regarding
Avenue and north
involved in the
Ft. Collins Express -
At this time, the Department of Highways is preparing the Environmental Impact
Statement for the Expressway east of North College Avenue. However, the
location and design at North College is approved. If the facility east of
North College is never built, then the interchange as presently designed
will not be needed.
There are no construction funds available for construction of the Expressway
east of North College Avenue. Funding for 60 million dollars has been part
of the Governor's Statewide Mobility Program for the past two years. To
date, the funding for that program has not passed the State Legislature.
Without the passage of some type of expanded funding plan, the possibility
of building the Expressway is low. The Governor is planning to continue
to request support from the Legislature.
The decision on the issuance of a building permit is solely under the authority
of the Citv of Fort Collins and is based on their criteria. We can only
inform the City that your property lies within the area that would be needed
for right of way if the Expressway is ever built.
If my staff or I can be of further assistance, please contact us.
Very truly yours,
`7
