Dorothy Ro mans, Acting Director of Community Develop ment , stated that the City is required by law to recommend to the County Commi ssioner s various highway work needed in the City. The Commissioners then put the recommenda ti ons together and present them to the State Highway Com mission to be included in the Highwa y Work Program for the following fiscal year. Mrs. Romans said that Englewood has been requesting for years that Santa Fe Drive have railroad grade separation and improved signalization at West Dart- mouth Avenue, West Oxford Avenue and West Tufts/West Union Avenues. Also re- quested each year has been the completion of the Windermere/Navajo truck route between West Kenyon Avenue and West Belleview with a four-way si gnalized intersection at West Oxford and South Navajo Street. Mrs. Romans said that even though work on Santa Fe is in progress, the staff recommends retaining it on the list. Englewood is also requesting the creation of an improvement corridor along U. S. 285 from South University Boulevard to South Santa Fe Drive, rather than identifying specific improvements along U. S. 285. On Belleview Avenue, it is recommended that we request signalization improvements at the South Logan /E ast Be 11 evi ew intersection, a study of prevailing and projected roadway and ser- vice cond iti ons to develop standards for corrective measures required of any persons constructing new developments which will have access to West Belleview Avenue and the installation of pedestrian facilities at East Belleview Avenue and South Clarkson Street. Finally Englewood is recommending the following construction projects on the Federal Aid Urban Syste m: l. South Broadway from Yale Avenue to the City limit to have signal improvements. 2. South Broadway from Floyd Avenue to Yale Avenue to be widened and provided with a landscaped median. 3. South Broadway from Quincy Avenue to Belleview to be provided with a landscaped median. 4. Pedestrian access on the west side of Broadway between Rafferty Lane and Belleview with em phasis on the widening of the bridge over Big Dry Creek to accommodate pedestrians. 5. 6. Sidewalk construction on the east side of South Broadway from Belle- view Avenue to the City limit as needed. Sidewalk construction on the north side of Belleview Avenue from the City limit east to the City limit west. -2 - .. 7 . Bike trail construction along Little Dry Creek fro m Broa dway to South Santa Fe Drive. 8. Bike trail construction along Big Dry Creek from the South Platte River east. 9. Widen the Broadway/Big Dry Creek Bridge for south bound lanes. Mr . Maunakea asked that the request regarding U. S. 285 be put first on the submittal because this section is most crucial to the City of Englewood. Maunakea moved: Allen seconded: The State Highway Work Program as presented by staff be approved and sent to Council with the recommendation that U. S. 285 be considered as a priority before the other programs. AYES: Barbre, Maunakea, Magnuson, Mulhern, Gourdin, Mesa, Allen and Carson. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Beier. The motion carried. VI.
