AND COUNTY OF DENVER TO COMPLETE A PLANNING AND

WHEREAS, the municipal jurisdictions along the US 85 corridor have a vested interest in
assuring sound transportation and environmental planning along this regionally significant
corridor. A Planning and Environmental Linkages Study (PEL) provides a platform to support
smart transportation management, define important future right-of-way needs, and support local
interests while balancing environmental and social justice impacts.
WHEREAS, the PEL process represents an approach to transportation decision making
that considers environmental, community, and economic goals early in the planning stage and
carries them through project development, design, and construction. A PEL study can lead to a
seamless decision-making process that accomplishes the following: minimizes duplication of
effort, promotes efficient and cost-effective solutions and environmental stewardship and reduces
delays in project implementation. The proposed PEL ties into PEL projects that are both completed
or underway, south and north of the project boundaries on US 85.
WHEREAS, the City of Englewood seeks to be a leading partner in supporting this project
effort by the Colorado Department of Transportation (COOT); other projected participants include
Arapahoe County, the City of Littleton, the City of Sheridan, and the City and County of Denver.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, THAT:
Section 1. The City Council, of the City of Englewood, supports a joint project with the
Colorado Department of Transportation, Arapahoe County, City of Littleton, City of Sheridan and
the City and County of Denver to complete a Planning and Environmental Linkages study for
Santa Fe Drive (United States Highway 85) from Colorado 470 to Interstate 25.
