Mr. Robert Close, attorney, 3485~ South Acoma Street, appeared before the
council as spokesman for a group of downtown merchants and property owners opposing
the denial of left turns at the intersection of State Highway 70 and South Bannock
Street. Mr. Close presented a petition signed by 113 businessmen and property
owners, calling on the City council to restore the South Bannock Street and State
Highway 70 left turns or to provide a substitute access to the downtown Englewood
area. Mr. Close discussed the problems the left turn elimination pose to the
Englewood businessmen. He stated that in order to get into downtown Englewood it
is now necessary to negotiate a maze and that customers, particularly those coming
from the west, will no longer shop in Englewood due to the traffic problem. Mr.
Close stated that the City of Englewood City Council should do something to cause
the State Highway Department to allow left turns at South Bannock Street and Highway
70. Mr. Close further stated that representatives of the State Highway Department
had stated that denial of left turns had taken place due to the fact that no ex-
tension of the enforcement date of the agreement which calls for the denial of left
turns had been instigated by the City of Englewood City Council.
Mayor Allen thanked Mr. Close for his presentation and asked City Attorney
Criswell to review the legal aspects of the agreement.
Mr. Criswell briefly reviewed the agreement and discussed various legal actions
which had arisen from the agreement. Mr. Criswell further stated that the law suit
by a group of downtown Englewood merchants to cause the State Highway Department to
reinstate the left turn movements would be heard on March 27, 1967.

stated that the City of Englewood had caused the left turn movements to be denied.

Minutes of February 6, 1967
Mr. Close stated that there were three gentlemen of the State Highway Department
who had made this statement: Mr. Bower, Mr. Fred Mertin, and Mr. Ed Haase. Mr. Close
further stated that these gentlemen 'had stated that the City of Englewood's failure
to request an extension of the contract enforcement date had caused the left turns to
be denied and the contract to be enforced.
councilman Ludwig stated that he felt downtown traffic problems are very signi-
ficant to the City, but questioned whether the reinstatement of left turns was the
solution. Discussion ensued.
Mrs. D.A. Romans, Planning and Traffic Director, appeared before the City Council
and discussed the traffic sign on State Highway 70 approaching the South Bannock Street
intersection from the west. Mrs. Romans stated that the purpose of the State Highway
Department in denying left turns at South Bannock Street and State Highway 70 was to
force people to use the ramp to Kenyon Street. Therefore, she stated, left turn
pockets at South Cherokee Street and South Elati Street had not been painted. She
further stated that if the traffic warrants of the State of Colorado were meant for
left turn movements at i South Elati and South Cherokee Streets left turn pockets
would be painted.
Mr. John Pearce of the Englewood Hardware Store, 3427 South Acoma Str.eet
appeared before the City Council to express his desire that the left turn movements
at South Bannock Street and State Highway 70 be reinstated.
Mr. Leo Lentsch of Leo and Lee's Credit Jewelers, 3461 South Broadway, appeared
before the City Council. He inquired of the Council what advantage the left turn
movement at Logan would be over a left turn at the South Bannock Street intersection.
Mr. Close reappeared before the Council and requested that the City Council observe
the traffic problems caused by the elimination of left turns. If the denial of left
turns was causing a traffic problem or safety hazard, he asked the City Council to
request the State Highway Department to reinstate the left turns.
Mr. Sam Hill, Sam's Barber Shop, 3456 South Broadway, asked if the City Council
was in favor of reinstating the left turn movements at South Bannock Street and
State Highway 70. Mr. Hill discussed the denial of left turns at this location with
the City Council.
Councilman Ludwig stated that he felt the City of Englewood is on the right
track toward implementing a good downtown traffic pattern. He stated that he felt
that two-way traffic on the 3400 block of South Acoma would help correct the problem.
!.r. Leo Lentsch inquired about the traffic study of downtown Englewood made by
the firm of Small, Cooley, and Associates in September of 1964. Mr. Lentsch asked
members of the City Council what this study had said about left turns at South Bannock
Street and State Highway 70.
Mr. Sam Hill, 3456 South Broadway, reappeared before the City Council. He stated
that the merchants of downtown Englewood would like to go on record against making
Hampden Avenue one-way west bound. He stated that people that wished to go east
from Broadway on Hampden should be allowed to do so.
Mayor Allen stated that if the downtown Englewood merchants had any definite
ideas about the downtown traffic pattern that a Conunittee should be appointed to
work directly with the Planning & Traffic Director.
Mr. Dick Graham, attorney, representing the NPO Corporation, appeared before the
City Council to make application for a Retail Liquor Store License at 5125 South
Braadway. Mr. Graham discussed the application with Council and requested that the
City Council ·establish a date of Public Hearing. He further stated that because the
property does not front on Broadway or Belleview, he would like to know where the
Notice of Public Hearing should be posted on the premises.

Minutes of February 6, 1967
RESOLUTION NO. 3, SERIES 1967
WHEREAS, there has been introduced before the Senate of the State of Colorado,
Senate Bill No. 39 relating to the disposition of fine money collected in County
courts arising out of cases filed on behalf of municipalities, and
WHEREAS, this City Council has reviewed the provisions of said Senate Bill No. 39,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City council of the City of Englewood,
Colorado, that this Council should, and does hereby, publicly declare its support I
of Senate Bill No. 39,
BE IT FURTHER RESOIVED that this Council's support of said Bill is based
upon the following factors, among others:
1. At the present time, fine money collected in County Courts arising out
of cases filed on behalf of municipalities is divided equally between the county
and the State of Colorado.
2. The taxpaying citizens of the municipalities are, at the present time,
being taxed for the support of the County Court system.
3. At the same time, the principal cost of enforcing the laws involved
in such County Court cases, including the salaries of police officers who appear
in the County Court, is being borne by the municipalities.
4. Because of the expenses incurred by the municipalities as a result of
cases filed in the County courts, it is not only financially necessary, but also
just and equitable that a portion of the fines levied and collected should be
disbursed to the municipalities to assist in paying the cost of enforcement.
5. Senate Bill No. 39 provides for disbursement to the municipality of fifty
per cent of the fines levied and collected in County Courts arising out of cases
filed on behalf of the municipality. This would serve to ease some of the
financial burden of the municipalities resulting from the aforementioned factors.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 6th day of February, 1967 .•
