CHAIRMAN'S REPORT Public Improvements for South Broadway -Several questions were answered regarding the public improvements for South Broadway. There wi11 be traf- fic lights at Highway 285, Acoma, and Broadway along the Parkway, There will be bases and conduits at Bannock and Cherokee. When the traffic patterns have been established, a decision will be made whether signals are necessary at Bannock and Cherokee.

There will be improvements made to the catch basins and sidewalks but the road itself (Girard) east of Broadway will not be totally reconstructed. • BRADFORD PUBLISH I NG CO ., DENVER Page Two Minutes March 13, 1985 • RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS --------------------------' -----,-------------------- Discussion continued regar4ing the public improvements. It is the consensus of the Board that Broadway is, indeed, the entrance to Trolley Square and that public improvements should be similar to those for Englewood Parkway~ There was some question as to the coordination of the public improvements from the City, Brady's and EDDA's efforts to date. It was noted that Rrady is putting lights on his building in the 3300 block of South Broadway. A question was raised as to the total effect of the 3200 to 3500 blocks, and whether or not there is a plan for the entire area, and not just one block. At this time no decision was made regarding the commitment to public improve- ments on South Broadway. The next step would be to see the total plan for the area from Roecker Design Group. Costs estimates need to be determined, also. Police Liaison Task Force -Fred Kaufman commented on his concerns re- garding police protection in the downtown area. After meeting with representa- tives from the Police Department, he suggested that a Task Force be set up to develop strategies for the area. A presentation from the Police Depart- ment will be scheduled for April to discuss these issues. Also, it was sug- gested to include ·tips from the Police Department in the _ engleword. Other -· A question was raised as to the status of the Safeway building at 125 East Hampden.· The Director will follow up on this.

Tentative plans are to have a report on Phase I at the May Board meeting. Newsletter -The March issue of the engleword again focuses on the small retailer in the downtown district. The newsletter is at the printers and will be distributed by the end of the week. Santa Fe Corridor Task Force -The $26,000,000 needed for C-470 was voted out of committee and is now available. Another comment was made that Santa Fe Blvd. will again be considered congested by the year 2000, Broadway Facade Loan Program -Because time is running out on the availability of the low interest loans, the program has been expanded and loan limits have been increased to enable more participation in the program.
