Information that Associate provides to the Secretary.

facilities, systems, books, records, agreements, policies and procedures does not relieve
Associate of its responsibility to comply with this Addendum, nor does CE's (i) failure to detect
or (ii) detection, but failure to notify Associate or require Associate's remediation of any
unsatisfactory practices, constitute acceptance of such practice or a waiver of CE's enforcement
rights under this Addendum.

•
•
•
•
•
•
performance of the terms of the Addendum shall thereupon cease, but the parties shall not be
released from duty to perform up to the date of termination.
b. Material Breach. In addition to any other provisions in the Agreement regarding
breach, a breach by Associate of any provision of this Addendum, as determined by CE, shall
constitute a material breach of the Agreement and this Addendum and shall provide grounds for
immediate termination of the Agreement and this Addendum by CE pursuant to the provisions of
the this Addendum and the Agreement covering termination for cause, if any. If the Agreement
contains no express provisions regarding termination for cause, the following tenns and
conditions shall apply: l) Default. If Associate refuses or fails to timely perform any of the
provisions of this Addendum or the Agreement, CE may notify Assocaite in writing of the non-
performance, and if not promptly corrected within the time specified, CE may terminate this
Addendum and the Agreement. Associate shall continue performance of this Addendum and the
Agreement to the extent it is not terminated and shall be liable for excess costs incurred in
procuring similar goods or services elsewhere, (2) Erroneous Tennination for Default. If after
such termination it is determined, for any reason, that Associate was not in default, or that
Assocaite's action/inaction was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a termination for
convenience, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if this Addendum
and the Agreement had been terminated for convenience.
c. Reasonable Steps to Cure Breach. If CE knows of a pattern of activity or practice
of Associate that constitutes a material breach or violation of the Associate's obligations under
the provisions of this Addendum or another arrangement and does not terminate this Addendum
pursuant to Section 4(a), then CE shall take reasonable steps to cure such breach or end such
violation, as applicable. If CE's efforts to cure such breach or end such violation are
unsuccessful, CE shall either (i) terminate this Addendum, if feasible or (ii) if tennination of this
Addendum is not feasible, CE shall report Associate' s breach or violation to the Secretary of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
d. Judicial or Administrative Proceedings. Either party may terminate this
Addendum, effective immediately, if (i) the other party is named as a defendant in a criminal

of this Addendum, for any reason, Associate shall return or destroy all Protected Information that
Associate or its agents or subcontractors still maintain in any form, and shall retain no copies of
such Protected Information. If Associate elects to destroy the PHI, Associate shall certify in
writing to CE that such PHI has been destroyed.
(2) If Associate believes that returning or destroying the Protected
Information is not feasible, Associate shall promptly provide CE notice of the conditions making
return or destruction infeasible. Upon mutual agreement of CE and Associate that return or
destruction of Protected Information is infeasible, Associate shall continue to extend the
protections of Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(d) and 2(e) of this Addendum to such information, and
shall limit further use of such PHI to those purposes that make the return or destruction of such
PHI infeasible.
5. Injunctive Relief. CE shall have the right to injunctive and other equitable and legal
relief against Associate in the event of any use or disclosure of Protected Information in violation
of this Agreement or applicable law. Associate acknowledges and agrees that in the event of such
impermissible use or disclosure of Protected Information, CE may seek injunctive relief if: (I)
CE will suffer real, immediate, and irreparable injury which will be prevented by injunctive
relief; (2) that CE has no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law; (3) that the granting of a
preliminary injunction will promote the public interest in privacy rather than disserve the public
interest; (4) that the balance of equities always favors the injunction in such cases; (5) that the
injunction will preserve the status quo pending a trial on the merits; and (6) that CE shall not be
required to demonstrate a reasonable probability of success on the merits in order to obtain
injunctive relief.
6. No Waiver of Immunity. No term or condition of this Addendum shall be construed or
interpreted as a waiver, express or implied, of any of the immunities, rights, benefits, protection,

inapplicable to the tenns and conditions of this Addendum.
8. Disclaimer. CE makes no warranty or representation that compliance by Associate with
this Addendum, HIP AA or the HIP AA Regulations will be adequate or satisfactory for
Associate's own purposes. Associate is solely responsible for all decisions made by Associate
regarding the safeguarding of PHI.
9. Certification. To the extent that CE determines an examination is necessary in order to
comply with CE's legal obligations pursuant to HIPAA relating to certification of its security
practices, CE or its authorized agents or contractors, may, at CE's expense, examine Associate's
facilities, systems, procedures and records as may be necessary for such agents or contractors to

Assistance Agreement -
2nd Reading
Initiated By: Staff Source:
Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Dennis W. Stowe, Littleton/Englewood
Treatment Plant Wastewater Treatment Plant Manager
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
On January 22, 2007, Englewood City Council adopted a Bill for Ordinance approving
the Colorado's Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (CoWARN) Mutual Aid
and Assistance Agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Littleton I Englewood Supervisory Committee recommends City Council adopt, on
second reading, a Bill for Ordinance Approving the Colorado's Water/Wastewater
Agency Response Network (CoWARN) Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreement.
• BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
•
The Colorado Water and Wastewater Agency Response Network (CoWARN) is a
network for municipal utilities departments to help other utilities departments during
emergencies. CoWARN provides a method for water and wastewater utilities that have
sustained or anticipate damages to receive intrastate assistance in a timely manner.
Participants can then receive or provide support in the form of personnel, equipment,
materials and other services.
CoWARN was established because in past disasters, it was discovered that municipal
utilities operations are a specialized field with special requirements and the entity in
need must be self-sufficient until the arrival of other government aid. CoWARN enables
quick response time at local and state levels of government during natural and human
caused events.
Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant (UE WWTP) had provided emergency
services under CoWARN. During and after the floods in 2013, an engine driven pump
was loaned to Estes Park. The pump maintained sewer service to the high school and
surrounding sub-divisions after a sewer line crossing in Fish Creek was washed out.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact associated with the agreement itself. Financial impact
would only occur when emergency services are rendered and the agreement sets forth
the conditions for a payment of services.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Meeting Date: Agenda Item: Subject:
November 2, 2015 11ci Resolution Adopting the
Englewood Walk and
Wheel Master Plan and
Program
Initiated By: Staff Source:
Community Development John Voboril, Planner II
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
City Council approved a consultant contract by motion with OV Consulting on
September 15, 2014. City Council study sessions were held on February 25, April 13,
June 1, and September 14, 2015 , to provide updates on project progress .
City Council held a public hearing on the Englewood Walk and Wheel Master Plan and
Program at the October 19, 2015, regular City Council meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Community Development staff recommends that City Council approve a resolution
adopting the Englewood Walk and Wheel Master Plan and Program as a supplementary
City plan document in support of Roadmap Englewood: The 2003 Englewood
Comprehensive Plan, and Englewood Forward: the 2016 Englewood Comprehensive
Plan.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The Englewood Walk and Wheel Master Plan and Program was funded through the
Kaiser Permanente Walk and Wheel Grant program . The City of Englewood received
$99,999 for the Englewood Walk and Wheel Master Plan and Program, with no City
match required.
Meeting Event Dates
Project consultant OV Consulting held three sets of meeting events for stakeholders
and the general public in conjunction with the larger Englewood Forward planning
process on November 12, 2014, February 11, 2015, and June 20, 2015. The June 20
meeting was advertised as the Englewood Walk and Wheel Fest, and featured
temporarily installed demonstration projects of bicycle and pedestrian improvements.
Planning Process Scope of Work
The Walk and Wheel project kicked off in September of 2014 with an initial meeting with
the Kaiser Permanente Technical Assistance Team, as well as the development of a
2
community engagement plan in conjunction with the related Englewood Forward
planning projects. These first steps were followed quickly with the gathering of bicycle •
and pedestrian counts at key locations . The counts provided a base line of current
activity that will be used to measure increases in walking and bicycling in the future.
The consultant team worked on two major project tasks during the early months of
2015 : the Economics of Walking and Wheeling task , and the Documentation of the
State of Walking and Wheeling in Englewood task. Economic , health , transportation,
and environmental benefits were quantified based on three level of investment
scenarios. The consultant team conducted a demand analysis by mapping where
people live, work , and learn, and also developed a level of stress assessment for the
Englewood street network which identified street segments where bicyclists and
pedestrians feel least comfortable due to conflicts with and close proximity to fast
moving automobile traffic.
The consultant team also conducted study sessions with City Council and the
Englewood Transportation Advisory Committee to educate members on the find i ngs of
the project and gather input on the preliminary network vision. These meetings laid the
ground work for the Englewood Walk and Wheel Fest community event that was
celebrated on June 20 .
Walk and Wheel Recommendations
Walk and Wheel Network
The Englewood Walk and Wheel Master Plan and Program lays out a long term vision
for the City's Walk and Wheel Network in a series of maps for each quadrant of the City .
The network includes on-street bicycle routes, off-street trails, and enhanced pedestrian
routes .
Quick Win Projects
In order to support the City Manager in his call for quick win projects that can be
implemented immed iately for relatively low costs , a number of quick win projects have
been identified :
• Dartmouth Avenue : Shared bicycle/parking lane striping
• Clarkson Street: Sharrows
• Oxford Avenue: Bicycle Lane Markings/Sharrows
• Sherman Street: Sharrows
• Little Dry Creek Trail : Improved wayfinding signage
• Pedestrian Wayfinding Signage from Englewood Station to Medical District
• Little Dry Creek Trail Enhancement at Englewood Marketplace (addition to Quick
Win project list per the request of Mayor Penn)
Transformative Projects
•
•
•
•
•
The following projects have been identified that would make the most difference in
transforming the walking and wheeling environment in Englewood, and should be
implemented as second wave projects :
• Floyd Avenue Bicycle Lanes -Sherman to Inca
• Oxford Avenue One Way Pair Cycle Track-Navajo to Broadway
• Sherman Street Bicycle Boulevard
• Rail Trail
• Broadway Mid-Block Pedestrian Crossings -Paseos and Gothic Theatre
• Broadway Enhanced Pedestrian Crossings -Englewood Parkway and Floyd
Avenue
Conformance with Comprehensive Plan
3
The Englewood Walk and Wheel Master Plan and Program is consistent with the vision,
goals, and objectives found in Roadmap Englewood: The 2003 Englewood
Comprehensive Plan, and Englewood Forward: The 2016 Englewood Comprehensive
Plan Update .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The adoption of the Englewood Walk and Wheel Master Plan and Program will not
directly obligate City Council to fund recommended improvements identified in the plan .
Staff will continue to work with consultants to put together 100% design drawings and
construction budgets for the quick win projects, which will be brought forward to Council
for authorization .

A. Introduction
The City of Englewood embarked on three simultaneous studies in
2014-2015 that directly address the City's transportation network,
options for improved multi-modal connectivity and increasing
community awareness of biking and walking as a transportation
alternative:
• Englewood Comprehensive Plan Update
• Englewood Light Rail Corridor Next Steps Study
• Englewood Walk and Wheel Master Plan and Program
These studies were collaborative in nature and
were collectively termed Englewood Forward.
Stakeholder and public input was essential to
understanding Englewood today, developing a
vision of Englewood tomorrow and identifying
the recommendations to move Englewood
toward that vision.
EN G LE w 0 0 0 The Walk and Wheel Master Plan was funded
F O R W A R D by a grant from Kaiser Permanente and kicked
off in September 2014. The plan's purpose
was to evaluate the City's current walking and
bicycling conditions and activity, as well as to
develop recommendations for bicycle and
pedestrian infrastructure and programs that
improve safety, increase connectivity and
transportation options, and encourage greater
walking and biking among Englewood
w,~/\~~ &. ~~~,.~, L residents.

The Walk and Wheel Master Plan builds on the previous Bicycle
Master Plan completed in 2004 and the Community-Wide Bicycle
Route Signage Program implemented in 2012. The planning process,
illustrated in Figure A-1, included extensive stakeholder and
community engagement throughout the project. Recommendations
for the plan were developed through the evaluation of existing
conditions data and field assessment, bicycling and walking demand
analysis, public input and network connectivity evaluation. The Plan
identifies Englewood's top priority "transformative" projects to the
bicycle and pedestrian network, highlights "quick wins" for
implementation to begin to enable broader biking and walking and
proposes ideas for encouragement and education programming that
increase visibility and awareness of these active transportation
options.

Mf..STER PLAN rROGRAt-A
Today Englewood has great high capacity transit access with corridor
bus service north-south along Broadway and two light rail stations
(Oxford Station and Englewood Station at CityCenter Englewood).
The City's street grid creates a strong base for local connectivity and
connects employment, shopping, and higher density residential uses
that lie within the city core. Trail connections within the City link
residents with recreational opportunities. Englewood offers a range
of housing options with a strong base of traditional single-family
neighborhoods, supported by an improving school system both in
terms of programming and facilities. However, Englewood is missing
a comprehensive strategy to enable pedestrian and bicycle mobility
as an alternative to automobile travel throughout the community.
The city lacks dedicated on-street facilities for bicycling and defined
pedestrian corridors with enhanced pedestrian facilities and crossings
that make walking and biking comfortable, viable options for the
majority of residents and visitors. Also of interest is the current and
future makeup of Englewood in terms of population and
demographic trends. The City has a large population of seniors and
is becoming increasingly attractive to the Millennial age group due to
its proximity to Denver and lower relative housing costs. Several
factors around these demographic groups strongly support the
growth of a bike and pedestrian environment in Englewood:
• There has been a significant increase in bicycle use among
seniors age 65 plus since 1995
• Baby boomers are looking for alternatives to the car and seeking
options to "age in place"
• Millennials exhibit a preference for urban environments that have
walkable places, and they are willing to pay a premium and
reduce living space to be able to walk to shops and amenities
• 26% of Millennials do not have a driver's license
• 45% of Millennials report making a conscious effort to replace
driving with alternative forms of transportation
Through this stud y, the City of Englewood is looking to improve
communi ty awareness and increase the visibility of bicycle and

pedestrian transportation options through the identification and
implementation of enhanced bike and pedestrian facilities. The city
also hopes to create a community environment that embraces active
transportation, attracts new residents and creates a strong vibrant
economic base for the City.

B. State of Walking and
Wheeling
The state of Walking and Wheeling in Englewood today was
assessed through the review of previous planning documentation, an
inventory of bike and pedestrian infrastructure, targeted counts of
walking and biking activity and an assessment of demand. Today's
conditions present many challenges to bike and pedestrian mobility
and identify potential opportunities for improved connections and
facilities.

Strategies supporting multiple modes of transportation :
1. Support pedestrian-friendly developments with mixed land use of
sufficient scale to support neighborhoods and businesses. Reduce
vehicle miles traveled (VMT) thus reducing congestion, and indirectly
improving air and water quality. Create area on Broadway where
people could choose to live without owing a personal vehicle based
on excellent access to public transit employment, shopping and
recreation. Recognize and enhance the relationships between land
use and the transportation system.
1.1 Encourage and support mixed use projects with residential, office
and retailing components.
1.2 Enhance pedestrian and bicycle amenities and links to light rail
stations, bus stops, shopping and employment centers.
1.3 Enhance the accessibility of the transportation system.
1.4 Support and develop a balanced, multi-modal transportation
system that includes rapid transit, regional bus service, bike and
pedestrian facilities, and improvements to the existing roadway
systems.
1.5 Provide safe and direct crosswalk movements along Broadway.

Additional plans served as a base for
evaluating the bike and pedestrian network,
and identifying future on and off-street bike
facilities by location and type. The City's Parks
and Recreation Master Plan identifies primary
connections and an expansive off-street trail
network that fundamentally supports future on-
street bike and pedestrian improvements. The
Bicycle Plan Route Development Study and
Implementation Program resulted in a signed
network of bike routes that are the base
network in the City today. The Light Rail
Corridor Plan identified key projects for
enhanced bike facilities and connections that
were further studied In the Next Steps Study.
The City's Complete Street Toolbox also
informs facility types and pedestrian facility
recommendations within the city.

Bicycle Parking
Today, the City of Englewood has over 45 bicycle parking racks in
place within the community. The majority of these facilities are
located in high activity, high volume areas and include the Broadway
corridor from Yal e Avenue south to Hamden Blvd., the Hospital
District and the Oxford and Civic Center LRT stations. The innovatory
of bicycle parking performed as part of the Walk and Wheel Study
identified current locations as illustrated in Figures B-2 and B-3.
Additionally, several bikes were observed in the northwest area of
the Hospital District locked to signposts or trees, and are indicated
on the maps in black. RTD bike lockers are available at the Civic
Center station for rental through RTD , but community concerns over
capacity of these lockers and availability indicate a need for a
different bike parking solution at this station.

Bicycl e Travel !De mand and level of Traffic Stress
The Bicycle Suitability Index (BSI) model utilizes existing
infrastructure (in a Geographic Information System (GIS) form) to
develop composite demand-side (where resident trips would typically
originate from and travel to) and supply-side (what physical
infrastructure exists) models of Englewood. Objective tools such as
this are utilized during the planning process to complement the more
subjective input received during public input sessions and project
team network evaluation exercises, as both are critical components
to developing a well-rounded data and input-driven plan.
Following is a description of the methods and results of Bicycle
Demand Analysis (demand side) and the Bicycle Level of Traffic
Stress Analysis (supply side). The analytical methods within provide
an objective, data-driven process of identifying network gaps as
potential projects and identifying areas of high existing or potential
bicycle and pedestrian activity. The resulting Supply and Demand
Typologies Model presents an array of potential bicycle and
improvement opportunities for Englewood.
Data Sources
The following data inputs were incorporated into the analysis. The
table below displays variables, its sources, and notes on limitations
of available data and assumptions made.

Models serve as an effective means to understand how factors In a
comple x system interact by providing a simplified version of the
system for study. However, by definition , model s are
representations of reality and are constrained by the quality of
available data and the complexity of the system under consideration.
Throughout the modeling process, significant effort was made to
collect the best data possible for input to the model and field verify
data as necessary and possible.
BSI provides a general understandin g of ex pected activity in the
pedes t ria n environment by combining ca tegori es representative of
where people live, work, play, acc es s publi c tran sit and go to school
into a composite sketch of demand .
Generally speaking, the scoring method is a function of density and
proximity. Scores reflect relative impact on walking or bicycling to
and from census block corners that are located adjacent to the
features used in the analysis. As such , scores are represented as
density patterns of points within a 1/4 mile of each other.
Subsequently, the scores are effectively a result of two
complementing forces: distance decay -the effect of distance on
spatial interactions yields lower scores for features over 1;4 mil e away
from othe r feature s; and spati al den sity -th e effect of clo sely
• LEWOOD
FORWARD
WALK l.',WH EEL

clustered features yields higher scores. Scores will increase in high
feature density areas and if those features are close together.
Scores will decrease in low feature density areas and if features are
further apart. In essence, the score is the intersection of distance
and density. Thus, on the maps shown below, the highest
density/usage/activity locations (shown in red) do not represent
specific physical facilities, but rather represent relative higher use
zones as calculated above.
Categories are scored on a scale of 1 -5 based on density and
proximity and then assigned weighted multipliers to reflect the
relative influence categories have on pedestrian and bicycle activity.
The feature weighting method is discussed in the following section.
Where people live includes 2010 census block level population
density information. These locations represent potential trip origin
locations. More trips can be made in areas with higher population
density if conditions are right. "Live" trip hot spots include areas in
the residential western-most arm of town, the northern end of town
along Floyd Street, and the larger areas east and west of Broadway
south of Hampden.

Where people work mainly represents trip ends, for people
working in Englewood regardless of residency. Its basis is 2010 total
employment by census block. Depending on the type of job, this
category can represent both trip attractors (i.e., retail stores or
cafes) and trip generators (i.e., office parks and office buildings) in
terms of base employment population. It is therefore also used in
the "where people play" category by overlaying with specific job
types, such as retail. Hot spots for the "work" analysis include the
area's shopping centers along Englewood Parkway/Girard Avenue
and south across Hampden, the Swedish Medical Center hospital,
and the newly redeveloped shopping center just east of University
Boulevard. The Broadway corridor is represented by moderate
employee density because employment is spread out along the
corridor, rather than clustered in a commercial shopping center.

Transportation Benefits
The most readily identifiable benefits of the recommended project
list derive from their use as a connection between activity centers
and residences. While no money may change hands, real savings
can be estimated from the reduction costs associated with
congestion, vehicle crashes, road maintenance, and household
vehicle operations.
Transportation Calculations
The primary inputs into the health component of the impact analysis
model come from five-year estimates of commute trip data from the
U.S. Census Bureau.
G-7
Utilizing the same calculations for estimated increase in annual
bicycle and walk trips and annual VMT reductions used in the health
and environmental components, transportation-related cost savings
can be calculated. By multiplying the amount of VMT reduced by
established multipliers for traffic congestion, vehicle collisions, road
maintenance, and vehicle operating costs, monetary values can be
assigned to the transportation-related benefits. In total, an annual
cost savings of $245,000, $2,648,000, and $4,438,000 is estimated
for the City under Scenario 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

Scenario 1 could result in 39,000 more hours of physical activity per
year among Englewood residents, and 536,000 and 829,000 for
Scenarios 2 and 3, respectively. This increase in physical activity
means that no more residents will be meeting the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) minimum number of hours of
physical activity per day under Scenario 1, 4,000 under Scenario 2,
and 6,000 under Scenario 3. This is equal to a jump from
approximately 18.83 percent of the regional physical activity need
being met at current baseline levels to 36.59 percent of the regional
physical activity need being met under Scenario 3 -an increase of
17.76 percent. This growth in the percent of people within the City
exercising also equates to a $238,000 reduction in healthcare
expenses per year under Scenario 3.

While the causes of physical inactivity and pollution stem from many
sources, the implementation of the recommended bicycl e and
pedestrian projects in Englewood will contribute to a shift from
energy-intensive modes of transportation such as cars and trucks to
active modes of transportation such as bicycling and walking. The
impact analysis model evaluates and quantifies the estimated
increase in bicycling and walking trips and the annual savings from
reduced vehicle emissions. In order to evaluate these environmental
factors, a number of readily-available data inputs were analyzed.
Environmental Calculations
The primary inputs into the environmental component of the impact
analysis model come from five-year estimates of commute trip data
from the U.S. Census Bureau. Using the same estimates of VMT
reduction calculated in the health benefits analysis, changes in
hydrocarbon, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, carbon monoxide,
and carbon dioxide were analyzed. In total, the replacement of
motor vehicle trips with active transportation trips may result in an
estimated 302,000, 3,509,000, and 5,726 ,000 fewer pounds of C02
emissions per year under Scenario 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and
7,000, 67,000, and 111,000 fewer pounds of other vehicle emiss ions
under Scenario 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Based on a review of air
emissions studies, each pound of emissions were assigned an
equivalent dollar amount based on how much It would cost t o clean
up the pollutant or the cost equivalent of how much damage the
pollutant causes the environment. The total reduction in vehicle
emiss ions is equal to a savings of $115,000 in related environmental
damage or clean-up per year under Scenario 3. Other potential
ecological services associated with the bicycle projects such as water
regulation, carbon sequestration, carbon storage, and waste
treatment exist, but the quantifiable value of these serv ices are
negligible on the overall impact of the recommended project list.

Multipliers
Multipliers were developed through an analysis of the relationship
between two or more model inputs (such as the number of vehicle-
miles reduced) and associated model outputs (such as the cost of
road maintenance per every vehicle-mile travelled). The model used
for this study utilizes over 50 multipliers in order to extrapolate daily,
monthly, and annual trip rates, trip distance, vehicle trips replaced,
emission rates, physical activity rates, and other externalities linked
to an increase in bicycling and walking trips and to a decrease in
motor vehicle trips. Individual multipliers of note are covered in more
detail in the sections that follow.
Limitations
The primary purpose of the analysis is to enable a more informed
policy discussion on whether and how best to invest in a bicycle and
pedestrian network in Englewood. Even with extensive primary and
secondary research incorporated into the impact analysis model, it is
impossible to accurately predict the exact impacts of various factors.
Accordingly, all estimated benefit values are rounded and should be
considered order of magnitude estimates, rather than exact
amounts.
Health Benefits
The implementation of a well-designed, connected bicycle and
pedestrian network across Englewood will encourage a shift from
energy-intensive modes of transportation such as cars and trucks to
active modes of transportation such as bicycling and walking. The
impact analysis model evaluates and quantifies the estimated
increase in bicycling and walking trips, the estimated increase in
hours of physical activity, and the annual savings resulting from
reduced healthcare costs. In order to evaluate these health factors,
the consultant team analyzed readily-available data inputs.

Health Calculations
The primary inputs into the health component of the impact analysis
model come from five-year estimates of commute trip data from the
U.S . Census Bureau. Five-year estimates were chosen because they
are the most reliable dataset available from the U.S. Census Bureau
between the 10-year censuses and because they allow for analysis at
the individual census tract level.
After extrapolating the commute trip data to recreational trips and to
estimate daily, monthly, and annual trip values, the consultant team
used a series of multipliers and assumptions to calculate the various
health factors. Englewood currently experiences 977,000 bicycle trips
and 1,593,000 walk trips per year. If the City implements the
recommended projects under Scenario 1, Englewood could
experience 135,000 additional bicycling trips and 204,000 additional
walking trips per year. If the recommended projects under Scenario
2 are implemented, the City could experience 757,000 additional
bicycling trips and 4,311,000 additional walking trips per year. If the
City implements the recommended projects under Scenario 3,
Englewood could experience 1,702,000 additional bicycling trips and
5,929,000 additional walking trips per year. Using trip distance
multipliers derived the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) and
annual vehicle trip replacement factors derived from a combination
of US Census data, NHTS data, and historic Safe Routes to School
data, the estimated increase in distance bicycled is 187,000,
1,048,000, and 2,357,000 miles per year for Scenario 1, 2, and 3,
respectively. The estimated increase in distance walked is 61,000,
1,293,000, and 1,779,000 miles per year for the Scenario 1, 2, and
3, respectively. The combined bicycle and walk trips for Scenario 3
would result in 3,441,000 fewer vehicle-miles travelled (VMT)
annually.
These annual distance estimates and VMT reduction estimates were
used to calculate changes in physical activity rates among residents
in Englewood. Implementation of the recommended projects for

Bozeman, Claremont, Helena, Jackson, Littleton, Oak Park, and Park City were chosen by the consultant team as peer cities because they have
similar design, geographic, and demographic characteristics to Englewood, and because each city except for Littleton has achieved a Bronze
Level League of American Bicyclist's Bicycle Friendly Community ® award designation or higher. After the identification of peer cities based on
general characteristics, the consultant team analyzed the bicycle and pedestrian commute data from each city. Compared to selected peer
cities, Englewood has the second lowest bicycle commute mode share (1.55%) and third lowest pedestrian commute mode share (2.75%)

This section contains an analysis of the quantified benefits that
might occur as the result of implementing the recommended projects
in t he Englewood Walk and Wheel Master Plan. The analysis
estimates the number of bicycle and pedestrian trips that would
directly result from the implementation of the project list,
approximates the corresponding reduction in vehicle trips and
vehicle miles travelled (VMT), and assesses the potential health -,
environmental-, and transportation -related benefits.
The impact analysis utilizes a standard methodology for calculating
health-, environmental-, and transportation -related benefits. All
projections are based on five-year estimates from the U.S. Census
Bureau, which are then extrapolated through the use of various
multipliers de r ived from national studies and quantified in terms of
monetary value where appropriate. The estimated monetary values
are then calibrated to baseline values and compared to bicycling and
pedestrian mode splits of peer cities that recently have implemented
similar projects.
Selecting Peer Cities
The consultant team examined levels of bicycling and walking in
municipalities with similar infrastructure already in place, called peer
cities. Selection factors in choosing these municipalities included the
existing street network, geographic location, climate, topography,
socio -demographic data, and the completeness of the city's bicycle
and pedestrian network.

G. Potential Economic
Benefits
There are two categories of potential economic benefits related to
improving pedestrian and bicycle facilities in Englewood. The first
category, labeled Qualitative Benefits, is related to improving the
attractiveness of Englewood to new residents and supporting current
residents desires to stay in the community. These benefits are hard
to quantify and consist of quality of life improvements, property
value increases, sales tax receipt impacts, and other more intangible
benefits. The second are more quantifiable and measurable benefits
related to lower transportation costs, improved community health
and improved environmental characteristics.

Obstacles to Proper Maintenance
There are three main obstacles to successful bicycle and pedestrian
facility maintenance programs, according to the peer city interviews
completed for this and other projects:
1. The first, and most common issue in the cities examined, Is a
lack of dedicated funding. There are fewer grants available for
maintenance activities than are available for construction of new
facilities.
2. Second, proper equipment, trained, or allocated personnel may
not be available. For example, shared-use trails require narrow
snow-blowers for snow removal, but these machines may not be
owned by the jurisdiction.
3. Third, there may be too little or too much coordination between
different departments regarding whose responsibility it is to
maintain bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and the exact duties
that are required of the responsible party.
4. Most Cities "Make it Work"
Each of the communities that were surveyed (and many other
communities that have been contacted through other studies) take
an enthusiastic "make it work" approach to maintenance of bicycle
and pedestrian facilities because the benefits of improved livability
and desirability outweigh the additional money/time these facilities
may require. It is worth noting that both Lakewood and Littleton
have significantly higher lane miles of on-street and off-street bicycle
facilities than Englewood, and they have continued to maintain them
as necessary through alternate, combined, and shared funding and
responsible agencies.

Additional information was gathered from case study cities (cities
with readily available maintenance information) with successful
maintenance programs or policies to aid in comparing with
Englewood's current policies and concerns. These case study cities
(as well as peer cities) build and maintain bicycling and walking
facilities because they are a priority for the community. As a
result, they are privy to the economic benefits and quality of life
benefits these types of facilities bestow on the community. A few
examples of information provided by these cities to describe
approach to maintenance or reasoning for providing bicycle and
pedestrian facilities with continuing maintenance are listed below:
• Madison -"We treat bicycling infrastructure no different f rom
other infrastructure we have. We don't ask that [about
maintenance cost concerns] about other development. We don't
stop building housing because of the cost of trash pick-up and
sewers."
• A study of Maryland's Northern Central Rail Trail found that the
state received $303,000 per year in trail related tax income while
paying $192,000 per year in maintenance.
a Dayton and Miami Valley -the trail system, which cost
approximately $50 million over 30 years, has an annual positive
economic impact of nearly $15 million.

Maintenance policies and procedures vari ed among the communities
contacted . Of t he agenci es con t acted, none had specific
money/funding budgeted for bicycle and pedestrian facility
maintenance, and none regularly require additional maintenance
funding to be provided or allocated when a new bike facility was
built. Most agencies stated that bicycle and pedestrian facility
maintenance was completed not by one department in particular,
but was a cross-department collaboration, often without pre-defined
assignments or agreements. Table F-2 shows a summary of agency
responses to questions relating to bicycle and pedestrian f ac ility
maintenance.

F. Maintenance
Considerations
The City of Englewood is considering investing further in the
construction of bicycle and pedestrian facilities such as on-street
bikeways, multi-use pathways and sidewalks, all of which provide
significant, valuable recreational and transportation benefits to local
res idents and visitors. However, ongoing maintenance of these
fac ilities, and in particular, funding sources to support maintenance
must also be addressed.
This section summarizes existing maintenance activities in a number
of peer cities to Englewood, based on interviews with staff of local
agencies, and identifies challenges to maintaining on-street bike
facilities, sidewalks and multi-use paths . It includes a description of
components of successful maintenance programs in comparable
communities.
Importance of Proper Maintenance
Ma intaining on -street bike facilities, sidewalks and multi-use paths to
a high standard is important for a variety of reasons.
Safety: Public agencies have a duty to protect the public welfare by
ma intaining facilities to a level that reduces potential safety hazards.
This includes repairing damage on paths and sidewalks that may
pose a tripping hazard, clearing snow in a timely manner, and
preventing ice from forming.
Universal Access: Public agencies are required by federal law to
ma intain public facilities so that they are accessible to people with
disabilities. Small but abrupt vertical changes in level along a path or
sidewalk may not pose a safety hazard to able-bodied pedestrians,
but may present an obstacle to people who are using wheelchairs or
other mobility-assistive devices.
• •
F-1
September 2, 2015 I Final Draft
Attracting Use: Well-maintained facilities, with smooth surfaces,
well-kept vegetation, and up-to-date signage will attract and sustain
use, increasing the livability of the areas served by the network.
Liability: Allowing hazardous conditions to exist along a path or
sidewalk exposes a local agency to potential lawsuits.
Protecting the Public Investment: Regular preventative
maintenance on an on-street bike facility, path or sidewalk (e.g.
periodic overlays on multi-use paths) can extend the lifetime of the
existing facility and delay the need for more expensive repairs.
Primary Maintenance Functions
Primary functions of maintaining on-street bike facilities, sidewalks
and multi-use paths include:
• Maintaining pavement quality through spot repairs, regular
overlays and longer-term repaving
• Maintaining trails and sidewalks to ADA standards
• Sweeping and removal of garbage and debris on a regular basis
• Vegetation trimming to provide clear access on a monthly basis
• Snow removal after storms
• Restriping paths as needed, usually annually
Landscaping maintenance on a weekly or monthly basis,
including irrigation costs
• Lighting feature maintenance, including electricity costs
• Repair of damage due to storms, floods, collisions and other
unforeseen events
Repair and replacement of wayfinding or other signage

Notes I This section of Sherman St connects the improvements
planned for Dartmouth and Oxford on a low volume neighborhood
street that runs the entire length of the City. Although it has a
narrow cross section in this area, the traffic speeds and volumes are
low enough to justify this type of treatment. Bicycle and pedestrian
scale wayfinding signage directing users to connecting routes and
local destinations should be installed in this corridor to enhance its'
status as an important bicycle and pedestrian connector.

Next Steps
In addition, important projects that would cost more to implement
and have bigger construction impacts were identified as high
priorities. These projects would be the "Next Steps" projects to
undertake to improve walking and biking in Englewood.
• Rail trail segment 1 from Big Dry Creek Trail to the Oxford LRT
Station
• Rail trail segment 2 from City Center LRT Station to Bates Ave
• Protected bikeway on Floyd Ave from Inca St to Sherman St
• Protected bikeway on Oxford Ave between Navajo St and
Broadway
• Priority pedestrian corridor improvements along Broadway from
Hampden Ave to Dartmouth Ave
• Mid-block pedestrian crossing of Broadway at the Gothic Theater
between Floyd Ave and Eastman Ave. A detailed engineering
design for this improvement is already complete.
• Mid-block pedestrian crossing at the pedestrian paseos between
Hampden Ave and Girard Ave.

Notes I Clarkson St in this area is the boundary between Cherry
Hills Village and Englewood. The boundary line varies in relation to
the centerline of the street throughout this area resulting in the need
for a joint project between Cherry Hills Village and Englewood.
Traffic volumes and speeds in this section are commensurate with
the installation of shared lane markings. The actual width of the
pavement varies slightly due to the fact that the east side of the
street has no curb or gutter. The current plan is to install painted
shared lane markings here in the immediate terms and to install
more permanent thermoplastic shared lane markings once the
planned pavement overlay project for this roadway is completed in
2016.

Notel This improvement is expected to help automobiles and
bicyclists share this corridor more effectively by defining the
vehicular operating space. On -street parking levels are low in most
areas of the corridor, which will limit bicycle/parked vehicle conflicts.
Other safety benefits are expected on the hill at Sherman St by
providing positive guidance to drivers. The intersection of
Dartmouth/Broadway requires further study to determine the best
configuration and it may require removal of on street parking for V2
to 1 block on either side of Broadway .

Notes I This improvement will emphasize the multi-modal nature of
this corridor and provide positive guidance to bicyclists as to where
to position themselves in the travel lane to maximize safety of travel.
It will also provide visual information to automobile drivers that they
should expect bicyclists on the road and are required to share the
space with them. This section of Oxford Ave has lower traffic
volumes than there are west of Broadway that lends itself to this
type of improvement.

By offering bicycle rodeos and other youth educational activities, the City of Englewood can provide children with opportunities to
practice bicycling (or walking) in safe learning environments. These events also give children the safety knowledge they need to continue
riding as they mature.
Bicycle rodeos are set up as bicycle or street skills courses and use cones, signs, and striping to mimic actual on-street traffic scenarios .
Trained instructors use the course to teach children skills including signaling, stopping, yielding, and turning . Rodeos can range from small
and informal gatherings to large-scale events. Rodeos can also be coupled with activities such as helmet-fitting instruction, reward raffle s,
and bicycle registration.
Regardless of size, bicycle rodeos require forethought and planning . A course design that addresses a variety of traffic situations must be
considered and required supplies must be assessed. To promote the rodeo and engage more participants, consider hosting it as part of an
existing community and school event.

• Group Walks j' !I Group walks and bieycle rides are fun ways to engage community members from a variety of ages and backgrounds. These group activities
or Rides 1 can range in focus from a guided walking tour of local gardens or public art to a ride to a local concert series or farmers market, often
highlighting local destinations, community assets, or special features. The focus of each walk or ride should creatively portray walking or
bicycling as a positive and normal mode of transportation.
• After the activity, residents may be surprised to learn that they traveled five miles by bike or one mile by foot-organizers should take
advantage of this opportunity to drive home the po1nt that bicycling and walking for everyday trips are possible. . . .

activities, incentives, and peer-to-peer encouragement. Participants can report their bike and walk commute trips to a team captain or
human resources representative to confirm their participation.
Encouragement activities for employees can include free breakfasts or lunches, gift card drawings, group walks or rides, happy hours, or an
early release day.
Organizers and/or employers may consider hosting a bicycle safety overview for employees prior to the event. Messaging to encourage
employees to continue bicycling and walking to work after the event is recommended .

Programmatic Recommendation s
It is important to implement programmatic elements to complement
physical infrastructure improvements to leverage those investments.
Programmatic elements can be effective at improving the acceptance
of walking and biking as a regular part of daily transportation
activities as well as provide transparency and support for City
decision making processes regarding walking and biking
improvements. The following programmatic elements should be
considered for implementation:
• Establish a sub-committee or special citizen group to be the
vo ice of walking & biking in Englewood and continue the
dialogue between citi zens and policy makers;
• Seek community partners to promote increased walking and
biking within the community;
• Increase visibility of walking and biking through events,
programming and educational opportunities;
• Encourage the "interested but concerned" through the addition
of new facilitie s

Transformative Projects
The following projects are anticipated to have a transformative effect
on Englewood's pedestrian and bicycle system and are anticipated to
catalyze other improvements in the City.
Transformative Pedestrian Improvements
• Broadway corridor from US 285 to Dartmouth: this corridor is
identified as a Priority Pedestrian Corridor in the Plan. Key
connectivity improvements include installing pedestrian-scale
way finding signage, strengthening the connections between
Broadway and the adjacent neighborhoods, installing mid-block
crossings between Hampden and Girard at the mid-block
pedestrian paseos and between Floyd and Eastman at the Gothic
Theatre.
• Enhance pedestrian scale way finding signage between City
Center LRT Station and the hospital district: signage that
identifies key local destinations and guides pedestrians between
the LRT station and the hospital district with expected travel
time and distances will reinforce the active transportation links in
this corridor and encourage more people to walk in this area.
• Improved pedestrian corridors along Kenyon, Sherman, and
Bannock: these corridors are intended to provide low stress
connections between neighborhoods and schools, commercial
districts, and civic uses to encourage walking trips.
Transformative Bicycle Improvements
• Protected bikeway loop: located along Oxford,
Sherman/Clarkson, and Floyd this facility will provide a low
stress connection through the heart of Englewood and is
anticipated to attract significantly more users and be a key
community asset once in place. The City of Sheridan is also
planning on making improvements to Oxford west of Santa Fe to
allow for a continuous protected bikeway connection between
the two cities.
• •
D-7
September 2, 2015 I Final Draft
• Bicycle improvements to Dartmouth: Dartmouth currently has
the highest level of bicycling activity of locations observed in the
City and primarily serves bicycle commuters. It also traverses the
entire City from east to west making it an important connection
for Englewood. Dartmouth west of the Platte River is envisioned
as an off street or protected bikeway facility linking west
Englewood to the Mary Carter Greenway and the Little Dry Creek
Trail that extends east to Inca. East of the Platte River
Dartmouth is envisioned to be an on-street facility to serve
bicycle commuters and to communicate to automobile drivers
and bicyclists that they should expect each other on the road in
this area. The parallel protected bikeway facility on Floyd east of
Inca is intended to serve a wider cross section of bicyclists and is
intended to complement the Dartmouth improvements and to
provide a low stress connection to Inca and the little Dry Creek
Trail .
Rail Trail along LRT line: This facility provides an off street
experience for pedestrians and bicyclists to travel the length of
Englewood and to connect to key destinations. The first portion
of this trail being evaluated for implementation is the section
from the Big Dry Creek Trail to Oxford Station .
Other Key Recommendation s
In order to better illustrate the infrastructure recommendations, we
have divided the City into 4 quadrants for better map visibility in this
document. A discussion of the key recommendations in each
quadrant is included.

Infrastructure Recommendations
Figure D-1 (next page) shows the infrastructure recommendations
for pedestrians and bicycles for the entire City of Englewood. They
are based on public and stakeholder comment, the existing condition
assessment, and the level of traffic stress and bicycle demand
analyses as well as looking at continuity with facilities in adjacent
jurisdictions.
The map in Figure D-1 has several key improvements for pedestrian
and bicycle travel in the City and are listed in the following section.

Bicycle Parking
Throughout the planning process, Englewood residents expressed
frustration over the bike lockers found today at the Civic Center LRT
station. The rental of the lockers limits availability of bike storage at
the station, and turnover is extremely low. Consideration should be
given to a higher capacity secure bicycle parking facility at both the
Civic Center and Oxford Stations.
Secure bicycle parking, which is a locked structure that is protected
from the elements, is a growing trend across the country and transit
agencies are beginning to incorporate secure bicycle parking facilities
into station area plans. Secured bicycle parking facilities at Civic
Center and/or Oxford Stations would work in conjunction with
recommended bicycle facility improvements to Oxford Ave. and Floyd
Ave, and would increase visibility and accessibility of bike parking.
Providing secure bike parking at light rail stations encourages
greater use of bicycles as a means of transportation and serves to
activate commercial and retail spaces surrounding station areas. In
addition, secured bike parking facilities reduce the fear of theft and
deter cyclists from locking bikes in undesired locations.
Prefabricated bike cages are modular, which would allow Englewood
to add additional facilities over time as demand increases.

Bicycle Facility Typologies
Bikeway I A bikeway is a roadway that has some form of markings
and signage installed to indicate to drivers and cyclists how to
interact and that bikes are to be expected here. Bikeways can
include shared lane markings, bike lanes, or buffered bike lanes as
space allows and traffic volumes and speeds dictate.
Protected Bikeway I A protected bikeway is characterized by the
addition of some form of raised vertical element between the cyclists
travel area and the vehicular travel area and they are restricted to
bicycle use only so a separate pedestrian facility is provided as well.
Examples of vertical elements are flexible posts, roadside planters,
vertical curbs, and parked vehicles, among others. Studies have
shown that cyclists feel more comfortable on a protected bikeway
than a non-protected bikeway and this encourages more people to
ride their bikes.

D-3
September 2, 201 5 I Final Draft
Bike Boulevard I A bike boulevard is a low volume, low speed
street where bicycle travel is emphasized over automobile travel .
Traffic calming elements are often installed on bike boulevards
including diverters, chicanes, and bulb outs. The idea is to
encourage automobile drivers to use the street only for local access
and to allow for uninterrupted through movements for bicycles thus
encouraging bicycle use and creating a safe and bicycle friendly
environment. Bike boulevards also have improved way finding
signage listing destinations and the distances and travel times to
reach them by bike or by waling. Bike boulevard corridors are also
good places for implementing Improved Pedestrian Corridors as
described on the previous page.

Pedestrian Facility Typologies
Improved Pedestrian Corridor I This facility type is characterized
by the presence of 5' or wider sidewalks on both sides of the street,
improved crossings of major streets with bulbouts, enhanced
crosswalks, or other signing devices as necessary, and local
destination way finding signage. They provide primary corridors for
pedestrian mobility around the City.

Priority Pedestrian Corridor I This facility type is intended to be
used in high pedestrian traffic areas in more commercial and retail
areas of the City. It is characterized by enhanced intersection
treatments such as colored crosswalks, bulbouts, special pedestrian
signalization and timing, the installation of medians and mid-block
crosswalks, and sidewa lks of at least 8' in width on both sides of the
road. Sidewalk areas would preferably be 13'-16' wide to
accommodate a wide sidewa lk, and an amenity zone .

o. Plan Recommendations
The framework for plan recommendations is built on the findings of
the conditions and demand assessment and the input of the
Englewood community and stakeholders. The framework
emphasizes a primary bike and pedestrian connection east-west
from Englewood Civic Center LRT Station to the Broadway
retail/commercial corridor and east to the hospital district; east-west
crossings of Broadway to link destinations
especially within the core of the community;
enhancements along Broadway and
perpendicular local streets to enable
comfortable pedestrian movement from
residential areas to commercial uses; linkages
to south Denver; linkages between the rail
stations and connections west to trails and
recreational uses at Dartmouth, Oxford and
potentially near Civic Center.
Areas of Emphasis
The key emphasis of the recommendations is
to encourage additional walking and biking
trips in Englewood through the creation of a
low stress travel network for bicycling, and the
provision of enhanced pedestrian facilities and
way finding signage for comfortable
pedestrian mobility. The implementation of
greater pedestrian visibility, street markings
and dedicated space, coupled with way-finding
signage is fundamental to establishing a
stronger pedestrian environment within the
community. Improved bike facilities such as
bike boulevards and protected bike lanes are

Two public meetings were held to garner support for the planning
process and gain public perspective on the vision of the plan,
community choices and review of the final plan. At each of the public
meetings, attendees read informational boards exhibiting recent
analysis for future demand for walking and biking in Englewood; and
learned about potential pedestrian and bicycle facility types and
engaged in discussion over a large scale map of the city, noting their
particular interests or concerns. The project team gathered key
information on the improvements or changes in facilities that would
make biking or walking more comfortable and encourage a greater
number of residents to do so.
The Public Meetings Included:
• Vision Workshop / Initial Project Kick-off Meeting I November

Open and transparent community engagement and public
participation were key elements in the process of developing the
Plan. The goal of the community engagement and outreach process
was to increase public awareness of biking and walking in
Englewood and to promote community participation in the study
process. Public input was solicited throughout the entire study
process, and in coordination with the other concurrent planning
studies; the Comprehensive Plan update and the Next Steps Study.
Project management team meetings were held on a regular basis
and coordination between the three planning processes was
essential to success.
The public process for the Walk and Wheel Master Plan included two
community workshops; stakeholder focus group and interviews;
website, e-newsletter and email blasts; online questionnaire;
meetings with school district; and participation in the comprehensive
plan coordinated outreach.

Bicycle Suitability Index Conclusions
BSI provided a picture of several phenomena:
1. Geographic variation in demand -potential activity levels at
different Census block corners
2. Geographic variation in supply -the quality of the physical
pedestrian and bicycle network
Variation in demand and supply are combined into the Composite
BSI models. A list of possible bicycle and improvement options is
summarized below.
• Areas with high demand for bicycling and high supply of suitable
infrastructure can benefit from innovative programs and capital
projects that further support bicycling, closure of key gaps, and
should be considered showcase areas where best practices can
be modeled for the region. These areas provide cost-effective
opportunities for improvements and should be high priority for
investment.
• Areas with high demand and low supply of suitable infrastructure
can benefit from infrastructure improvements to Improve
bicycling conditions. These areas may require bicycle facilities or
Intersection Improvements to accommodate high level of
demand. They should also be high priority for investment.
• Areas with low demand for bicycling and high supply of suitable
Infrastructure can benefit from programs to encourage bicycling
and land use changes or development to increase the density of
attractors and generators. These areas should be medium
priority for investment.
• Areas with low demand for bicycling and low supply of suitable
infrastructure can benefit from basic infrastructure
improvements. These areas should be low-priority for
investments.

Overall the areas of highest demand for bicycling are centered on
Broadway Corridor, Hampden Avenue/Englewood Parkway/Girard
Avenue, areas near the light rail stations and the cluster of schools in
southeast Englewood. Other areas of Englewood are characterized
by more modest potential demand .
Most adult cyclists can circulate comfortably on local and minor
collector roadways. Higher order roadways, with speeds exce eding
30 miles per hour, such as Hampden and Fe deral, typically act as
barriers to bicycling when appropriate bicycle facilities are not
provided. Bike lanes can decrease the level of traffic stress on
several of Englewood's roadways, but enhancing the facilities with
bike lane buffers or vertical separation from traffic while also
providing a continuous dedicated facility on higher speed or higher
volume roadways will further enhance the bicycling experience for all
users. Within Englewood , islands of connected facilities exist.
Concentrating short term facility construction on gap closure
between these islands can significantly increase bicycling access
within Englewood and help the city realize the full potential of a safe,
continuous and connected bicycling network.

While major roadways act as barriers along the roadways and at
unsignalized crossings, signals provide a connection for cyclists to
move between low-stress neighborhood roadways. Outside of this
central core, however, low-stress roads have been built without
connectivity across major roadways, making travel between
neighborhoods inaccessible to most adults. This display makes
apparent the gaps in the bicycle network that could be targeted for
improvements to create connected bicycling routes that are
comfortable for the mainstream adult population. Along with
improvements along high-stress corridors, safe crossing
opportunities across those corridors will greatly increase bicycling
mobility.

Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress (L TS) Analysis Results
Segment Analysi s
The results of the segment-based LTS are shown below. Much of the
network consists of disconnected clusters of low-stress (LTS 1 to 2)
streets, shown in green and yellow . Individually, these islands of
low-stress streets are comfortable to ride for most adults, but they
are isolated from one another by larger roads with higher traffic
speeds that disrupt bicycle mobility. Higher order roadways like
Hampden Avenue, Broadway, and Santa Fe act as barriers to
bicyclists .

Level of Traffic Stress Analysis
The methods used for the Level of Traffic Stress Analysis were
adapted from the 2012 Mineta Transportation Institute (MTI) Report
11 -19 : Low -Stress Bicycling and Network Connectivity. The approach
outlined in the MTI report uses roadway network data, including
posted speed limit, the number of travel lanes, and the presence and
character of bicycle lanes, as a proxy for bicyclist comfort level. Road
segments are classified into one of four levels of traffic stress (LTS)
based on these factors. The lowest level of traffic stress, LTS 1, is
assigned to roads that would be tolerable for most children to ride,
and could also be applied to multi-use paths that are separated from
motorized traffic (not shown in this analysis); LTS 2 roads are those
that could be comfortably ridden by the mainstream adult
population; LTS 3 is the level assigned to roads that would be
acceptable to current "enthused and confident" bicyclists; and LTS 4
is assigned to segments that are only acceptable to "strong and
fearless" bicyclists, who will tolerate riding on roadways with higher
motorized traffic volumes and speeds.
A bicycle network is likely to attract a large portion of the population
if its fundamental attribute is low stress connectivity. In other
words, a network should provide direct routes between origins and
destinations that do not include links that exceed one's tolerance for
traffic stress. The BSI is an objective, data-driven evaluation model
which identifies high traffic stress links, bicycle network gaps and
gaps between "low stress" links, and a score assessing the relative
user comfort or level of stress a user may experience on each link is
mapped. Each user is different and will tolerate different levels of
stress in their journey so these maps should be used as a general
guide rather than an absolute truth.

--Presenting little traffic stress and demanding little attention from
cyclists, and attractive enough for a relaxing bike ride. Suitable for
almost all cyclists, including children trained to safely cross
intersections. On links, cyclists are either physically separated
from traffic, or are in an exclusive bicycling zone next to a slow
traffic stream with no more than one lane per direction, or are on
a shared road where they interact with only occasional motor
vehicles (as opposed to a stream of traffic) with a low speed
differential. Where cyclists ride alongside a parking lane, they
have ample operating space outside the zone into which car
doors are opened. Intersections are easy to approach and cross.
-~--
Presenting little traffic stress a nd therefore suitable to most adult
cyclists but demanding more attention than might be expected
from children. On links, cyclists are either physically separated
from trafficror-are in an exduslve bicycling zo ne next to a well -
conflned traffic stream with .adequate clearance from a parking
lane, or are on a shared road where they interact with only
occasional motor vehicles (as opposed to a stream of traffic) with
a low speed differential. Where a bike lan e lies between a through
lane a nd a right-turn lane, it Is configured to give cyclists
unambiguous priority where cars cross the bike lane a nd to keep
;I car speed in the right-turn lahe comparable to bicycling speeds.
l Crossings are not difficult for most adults .
More traffic stress than L TS 2, yet markedly less than the stress of
integrating with multilane traffic, and therefore welcome to many
people currently riding bikes in American cities. Offering cyclists
either an exclusive riding zone (lane) next to moderate-speed
traffic or shared lanes on streets that are not multilane and have
moderately low speed. Crossings may be longer or across higher-
speed roads than allowed by L TS 2, but are still considered
acceptably safe to most adult pedestrians.

the factor maps and applying standard weights to each factor. Thi s
analysis shows that the highest potential for bicycle travel demand is
along the Broadway Corridor, Hampden Avenue/Englewood
Parkway/Gira rd Avenue corridor, areas near the light rail stations
and the cluster of schools in southeast Englewood. It is also
important that future bicycle and pedestrian improvements conside r
connectivity between the hot spots shown on this composite map.

Where people access transit is assessed by location of bus stops
and light rail stops. Stops with greater observed activity were
weighted more heavily utilizing boarding data from the Regional
Transit District (RTD). Use data was not available for the light rail
stations and so an activity estimate was made based on a portion of
adjacent bus boarding volumes. It is important to understand that,
because potential bicycle and pedestrian destinations consider
adjacencies and density of destinations (in this case, locations such
as bus stops), this analysis considers not only the relative use
(boarding data) for each stop, but analyzes each stop's proximity to
other stops and other lines, creating hot spots based on both
proximity and use. In this case, the Broadway/Civic Center core,
light rail stations, and Hampden Avenue are identified as "hot spots."

Where people shop and play is a combination of varied land use
types and destinations. Overlays such as retail destinations, regional
trails and parks contribute to this category. Regional trails travelling
through Englewood were considered as parks in this analysis due to
their recreational draw. Specific trailhead connections and locations
will be strongly considered in the network recommendations due to
public emphasis on trail connection desirability. These destinations
are important and have higher activity due to the shorter term
nature of these visits (typical duration of these visits is less than one
half a day) and because they are likely to attract a wide variety of
people who are likely to visit mu ltiple destinations in close proximity.
"Play and shop" hotspots identified in this analysis include retail in
the Englewood Plaza/Englewood Marketplace area, retail and
entertainment along Broadway and shopping centers along
Hampden Avenue, as well as parks like Bellevue Park and trails along
the South Platte River.

Where people learn represents where students l<-12, at
community college, or at university go to school. Its basis is
enrollment data from the Englewood Public School District individual
school websites and information provided by district staff. As shown
on Figure B-11, Englewood Middle and High School Campus has the
greatest concentration of students and associated activity. In the
southern portion of town the proximity of four schools increases the
relative intensity of activity. Higher order streets, like Broadway are
likely to act as barriers and reduce actual observed activity .

October 19, 2015
Englewood City Council
1000 Englewood Parkway
Englewood, CO 80110
RE: Appeal of Case #2015-09 4635 South Pearl Street Urban Lot Development
Dear City Council Members;
Historically, the City of Englewood has not had zoning regulations in place to effectively allow building of
structures on non-conforming lots. In 2013, at the recommendation of the Community Development
Department ("COD"), the Planning and Zoning Commission ("Commission") began to explore
Amendments to Title 16: Unified Development Code regarding Small Lot Development Standards.
In the Council Communication dated August 4, 2014, the COD provided background to the Englewood
City Council ("Council"} concerning the Commissions fact finding process. This included proposed
amendments, summary and analysis to relevant sections for Title 16 of the UDC. According to
Englewood City Council minutes, on September 2, 2014, Ordinance No. 45 Series of 2014 (Ordinance)
was approved on second reading .
For the purposes of the subject development at 4635 S. Pearl Street, the relevant ordinance outlines
what has been deemed "Urban Lots." These are lots zoned R-1-C with lot width greater than or equal to
25', but less than 37'; and with lot area greater than or equal to 3,000 sf, but less than 4500 sf.
Specifically, the Ordinance states
Whereas, the proposed amendments will effectively regulate small residential lots
(hereafter called "Urban Lots") that contain or contained a one unit dwelling existing on
or before February 23, 2004, and have 25 feet or mare of Lat Width, 3,000 square feet of
more of Lot Area, and will establish a process for the possible development of vacant
Urban Lots of that size .
On September 22, 2015, I attended a regular meeting of the Commission. I spoke in opposition at the
public hearing for Case #2015-09 4635 South Pearl Street Urban Lot Development ("Development"), as
did several of my fellow neighbors. During the same Commission hearing, the COD provided a memo
that the subject property, in the South Broadway Height Subdivision ("Subdivision"), has never
contained a "dwelling unit". COD Planner, Brook Bell, also stated for the record "research of the
property records revealed that the lot has been vacant since at least 1952. The result of the research is
inconclusive with regards to the origins of the lot." Mr. Bell also clarified to the Commission that the
purpose of the hearing was to " ... approve the development on an Urban Lot based upon drawing
submitted by the applicant." City records indicate the lot on where this House will be built, is exactly 25
feet wide and 125 feet deep with 3,125 square feet. Ultimately, a motion was passed, 8-1 by the
Commission to allow for a single family house ("House") .
I am writing to you today, to appeal the Commissions' decision and ask that Council deny the
Applicant the right to develop the planned House for the following reasons:
• The ordinance recommended by the Commission and passed by Council on Sept 2, 2014
states an Urban Lot 25 feet or greater in width, and 3,000 feet or more of square
footage must contain, or have contained, a one unit dwelling before February 23, 2004.
• City records and Applicant renderings show the Development is 25 feet in width and
3,125 square feet.
• The COD testified before the Commission on September 22, 2015 the property has been
vacant since 1952 and has never contained a dwelling.
• Given 1) the Development is 25 feet wide and 2) has never contained a one unit
dwelling, 3) Ordinance dictates the said property at 4635 S Pearl Street is not eligible
for development of any one until dwelling.
• Based on Ordinance, the Commission should have denied the Applicants proposal to
develop the said property at 4635 S Pearl Street.
• Therefore, on appeal before Englewood City Council the proposal to develop the said
property at 4635 S Pearl Street must be denied.
I look forward to your response.
Regards
~::;~s

Subject: Request For Rehearing Related To The Zoning Variance At 4635 S Pearl
This is a request for a rehearing on the zoning variance related to the property at 4635
S Pearl. In relation to the city municipal code 16-2-16, as an interested 3rd party, we
believe that the planning and zoning commiss ion has not performed due diligence on
this matter, specifically related to fire safety , right to light/overshadowing (as outlined in
the municipal code), and drainage issues. There is evidence that was not originally
presented at the time of the first hearing and we believe that this information is
necessary in order to make a rational, fair and educated decision.
Use of this variance will cause a decrease in property values to the adjacent homes and
a loss of use that these neighbors on either side of 4635 purchased their property
for. This could create a situation where the city could be sued .
We are acting as representatives for the next door neighbor to this property as she was
hospitalized at the time of the original hearing and will not be able to attend the next
hearing due to medical issues.
Please contact us with any questions on this matter and we look forward to enlightening
you with further details on this matter at the next hearing .

OCT 1 2 2015
ENGLEWOOD, CO
OFFICE OF THE CITY AITORNEY
I have attached two recent notices that I have mailed to Adam Baltrunas regarding the default on his
promissory note of September 12, 1996. The default is the result of Mr. Baltrunas failing to comply with
terms of the promissory note and deed of trust, specifically that the housing unit being used other than
as the owner's primary residence. The promissory note, the original deed of trust, both dated
September 12, 1996, and the assignment of the deed of trust from the Englewood Housing Authority to
the City of Englewood, dated March 13, 2104, are attached.
Under the terms of the promissory note, if the makers are in default, the interest rate shall increase to
12% per annum and the holder shall have the right to declare the promissory note to be due and
payable immediately. The owner is in default due to the fact the Mr. Baltrunas no longer resides at the
housing unit.
I ask that the City pursue collection as provided under the terms of the promissory note .
