Neighborhood Transportation Plan December 7th, 2017 Kathleen Krager

What did we learn?

Parking Issues • Colorado College • Penrose Hospital Speed Issues Bike Improvements • Penrose Hospital to Downtown • Signal Triggers for Bicycles Infrastructure • Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks • Drainage Issues

Pedestrian Issues • Improvements at Colorado College • Too Many Wide Lanes • More Pedestrian Infrastructure Traffic Operations • Uintah St. • Cache La Poudre St. • Jackson St. • Synchronized Signal Timing • Access to I-25 • More Left Turn Lanes • Aligned Median Openings Speed /Noise Bicycle Infrastructure

Infrastructure Improvements • Signage • Curbs and Gutters • Markings • ADA Ramps Parking Issues • Speed Issues Colorado College • Penrose Hospital Bicycle Infrastructure • Crossing At Uintah St. • Signal Triggers for Bicycles

Pedestrian Improvements • Crosswalks for Colorado College and Daycare • Curb Bump-Outs • Visibility of Crosswalks • Steele Elementary Buses • Espanola St. Speed /Noise Issues • Empty Buses • Frequent • Rubberized Asphalt Stops • Uniform Speed Limit • Speed Sensors Truck Traffic Bicycle • NO TRUCKS! Infrastructure

Speed /Noise Issues Pedestrian Improvements • More Stops • More Crosswalks • Add Median and Roundabouts • Finish/Maintain Shook’s Run • Road Diet Bicycle Infrastructure • Add Bike Lanes Infrastructure Buses • Sight Distance • Move Buses to • Left Turn Lanes Wahsatch Ave. • Painted Curbs • Better Street Lighting

Traffic Operations/Infrastructure • Left Turn Arrow at Uintah St. • Improve Signal Timing • Better Street Lighting Bicycle Infrastructure Buses • Road Diet • Move Buses to Bon Shopping Center • Connect Shook’s Run Trail to Crossing • Bike Lanes Preferred on Weber Speed/Noise

Pedestrian Improvements • Crossing at Tejon St. • Shook’s Run Traffic Operations • Left Turn Lanes/Arrows Along Corridor • No Right Turn on Red at Signals • No Left Turn at Wood Ave. • Improve Cascade Ave./Uintah St. Intersection

Bicycle Improvements Speed /Noise • More Bike Friendly Issues • Signal Triggers for Bicycles • Lower Speed Limit Traffic Operations • Right Turn Lane at El Paso St. • Left Turn Arrow at Nevada Ave. • Sight Obstructions • Road Diet Pedestrian • Curb Bump-Outs • Signal Progression Improvements • Protected Left Turn Lanes • Shook’s Run Crossing

 Special Speed Limits in the Area • Arterial Streets – 30 mph • Local Streets – 25 mph  Design to Promote Posted Speed Limit  Noise Ordinance Difficult to Enforce

 Pedestrian Safety Criteria • 4 Lanes – Controlled Crossings • 2 Lanes – Uncontrolled Crossings  Bicycle Infrastructure Criteria • Continuous Routes • Controlled Crossings • Bike Detection at Signals  Analysis/Decisions to be Made • Pedestrian Safety for Colorado College and Surrounding Areas • Location of Bike Routes • Specific Projects

 Staff Study/Concept Design • Uintah St. – Wahsatch Ave. to Nevada Ave. Left Turn Lanes • Cascade Ave./Uintah St. Intersection Improvement  Median Design Criteria • Medians on Cascade Ave., Nevada Ave., and Wahsatch Ave. are historic. • Requires Parks Board Approval • Establish a criteria for considering changes to medians.

 Specific to Certain Areas  Penrose Hospital  Colorado College  Consider Alternatives Within Those Areas • Working with Institutions • Restrict Parking Times • Parking Permit Program

 City Traffic will work with Mountain Metro Transit to determine appropriate bus routes  Any changes will go through Mountain Metro Transit public involvement process.

 Remove Restricted Truck Route on Nevada Ave.  Trucks will need an origin/destination within the neighborhood.  Closures on I-25 – Trucks will be rerouted to Circle Dr., Fillmore St. or Academy Blvd.

 Traffic Improvements on Uintah St.  Changes to truck routes  Changes to Speed Limits
