V an S cboon e v e ld, Shephe rd & C o •• appeared befor e Counci l to present th e 1971 flna..n cl al r eport of the City .. He stated that l.n the course of the a udi t n o l e gal problem s of any Dl.&gnitude were found. that the Ci ty h ad l n ever y case confo rm ed to the s trict l egal r e qu i r e ments i mposed b y the City Charter. City ordinan ces . and state statutes w here a ppli c able. H e referred to h is 1\'fana.ger:nent. Letter of A p rll. 197 2, in w hich the Surplus and De-ficiency Fund was discussed lD some det.atl . He no"ted that t:he Fund now contalned $371,000 a.nd t-hat che Charter provides no way ln which these funds may be used except through default of I.Dlprover.nent d i stricts . It ls apparent. be said, that the Charter Committee o rtg·Lnally assumed that the Fund would incr ease or decrease depending upon 'the nature of the Improvement district. but Englevvood like Denver has not fo1..D'ld t.hls to be the case . T 'he Fund has merely Lncrea.sed each year and Is much larger than necessary to cover any deCtclencles ln the annual lul prove- rnent districts. H e r ecom.mended t.ha..t the City C ouncil gtv e c ons l d e :ra t t on to son:te rnethod of redu cing t.he &.Dlount of money Ln dl.e F und . H e noted. however. that any method suggested would probably h ave t o receive ca..re.Cul s c rutiny b y the C ity Attorney . He noted that the Managentent Letter al so took issue with the manner in which the City accoun ced :Cor the Road and Bridge c aah and/or credit gtven b y the County. Under state J aw It is now possibl e , he satd. for the City to receive lts share of th e r oad and b ridge f t.Dl.ds In c ash :rathe r than tn service a.e was the case ln the past... This makes It i rnporta.nt. he satd, f o r the C l ty to show the appropriatl011 by the County and th eir e x penditur es o n the C i ty's behalf on the financial state:rn.enta of the Clt:y. He a l so recon:t..men d e d that the C ouncil enac t. a resolution to amend the c urrent budget for t.he 1 9 72 a ll ocation and that the admlnfstratlon take thls procedure inco account In the p r eparation o f the 1 9 7 3 budget. 0 I' • • • • -2- With regard to the Sales and Use Tax admlnl.strat:lon., be suggested 'that. there was an inequity ln the collection of the Use Tax. As a general rule. he s aid. the professions are exempt from the Sales Tax but are liable on the Use Tax for the Items purchased outside the City. The proble:r:n. wlt:.h. enforcement is that the cost of collecting the tax may exceed the tax collected from lec.._t;. ~ '--t...;u unting. medical practitioners. and others. Most professionals do not pay the Use T ax because It ls not enforced. He. therefore. suggested that a flat charge of perhaps $25.00 per license per prac·tittoner or. lf they are not licensed. $25. 00 per principal or owner of a service business be charged ln lieu of the Use Tax-Mr. Shepherd also suggested that in the future the distribution of th.e Sales Tax between the General Fund and the Public Improvement F\.Dld be done by resolution . Councilman S c hwab asked Mr. Shepherd to further exp1aln th.e problem of t:he dtstrtbutlon of the Sales Tax .. M.r . Shepherd stated that the dlstrlbutlon of the Sales Tax between the General Fund and the Publlc lr:nprovement Fund had been changed frozn the dlsb:"lbu- tion made in the original 1971 budget as adopted by the Councll. 'This change was Dl.ade in the 1971 budget as rev ised by the Cot.m.cll when the 1972 budget was adopted.. While th.e Council gave t.acl't. approval to tbls change ln dlst:r lbut:lon. !tttr. Shepherd said that it would be much better If such a substantive change were for-ma.llz.ed by resolution .. CouncilwoDtan Hennln.g asked Mr. Shepherd bow 'the County•s road and bridge contributions 'to the City should appear ln the budget .. Mr. Shepherd noted that there was a short.a.ge o£ $44, 000 ln 'the streets and drainage budget of the General Fl.Ul.d as shown ln B-2 of the {tnanclal report.. but by the same token there was an additional B\UD of $46 . 000 ln revenue to offset this shor tage .. The current budget. he suggested. should be revised to reflect. this transac- tion. Councilman :Dbo ricy asked Mr .. Shepherd how much Sales and Use Tax. was lost by the City ln collecting lro'In prof:essi onal enterprises. Mr. Shepherd said it: was purely a guess but he would estimate around S25. 00 to SSO. 00 per professional firm per year. M r. Dhorlcy asked if 'there appeared to be good enforcement of the S ales Tax ordtna.nce. Mr . Shepherd a.n.swered that there was. although It was far too expensive to enforce Use Tax on professionals and. therefore. we were losing a siz eable su.m from this source. Councilman Brown inqu ired Lf a new o rdtnance were required for the Pension Board. M r. Shepherd explained that the ordl..nance c reating the Pension Fund turned all powers for administering the fund over to the Board but at the sa.me t:lme stlpulat.ed certaln llmltat:ions as to bow money in the Fund was to be tnveated . This. be exp la Lned. gives too much power to the employer or the City and. therefore, might cause the tax exempt status of the fund to be revoked by the Internal Revenue S e r vice . Councilman S chwab asked lf the Recreation Fund should be ellmlnated as a separate fund and put In the General Fund. Mr. Shepherd answered that tt shou.ld .. Mr. Stanley H . Dial. City l\.'1-anager. entered and. 'took hie seat w1tb Council. Mr .. Terr y Wlckre of the Colorado Pure Bred Dog Fanctera Aaaocla- tion . 1 5 Panama I>rlve., appeared and commended Council for pa.sat..nc the proposed anlr:nal control ordlnance which he felt went a lCXJ.& way toward crackl..ng down on ''back-door '' breeders.. He did., how-ever., take exception to the $100 ltcenee fee for hobby breeders st.atlng that s uch a fee would defeat the purpose of an ordinance whtch was to permit only the serious breeders to stay 1n bualneaa. The Colorado Pure Bred Dog Fa.nctere., he e.xplalned. placed et:rtct regulations on membership and in hls optnlon they had done a good job of aet:tln& standards for those who wished U) qualify as breeders. He personally felt that the $25 .. 00 annual fee would give the Council the type of control tt needed to resuiat.e bobby breeders .. • • 0 r 32 • • • -3- Councllma.u Brown asked bow many ln the audience w e re (rom che oup represented b y Mr. Wick:re. N o count of the nun:tber of hands w a s m_ade. Mr. Wlck.re stated that m ost bobby breeders would not TDtnd paying $30 .. oo to $35.00 per year. Councilwoman Hennlng suggested tha 't perhaps a higher initial fee ,. coupled 'Wtth a lower renewa l fee,. would be acceptable and accomplish Counc 1l "s lnt.ention as s et forth tn t-he o rd inance.

These volumes are expressed in thousands o:.f vehicles per day. B. Englewood Traffic Issues and Problems Current trafi"ic problems and the traffic issues that wi-ll emerge in the future within the city of" Englewood can be categorized in .four broad groups: 1. Those related to the Central Business District. 2. Those problems resulting from Englewood's position astride major north-south and ea.st-'W'est travel corridors i..n. the Denver "Metro Area. 3. t:ntra.-city travel i"or Englewood residents. 4. Those problems related to Englewood's changing densities and changing land-use patterns. The traif'ic problems and issues related to the CBD have been considered signi..ficant enough to warrant their s eparate treatment. and Chapter 2 of'" this report is concerned with th.:is major area o£ the city. Essentially .. the t.ra.:ff'ic problems of' the centra.1 area are associated with access to the CBD (including the Cinderella City Shopp:ing Center) from major regional arterial systems .. and secondly .. interior circulation within the CBD itseli. The second category o:f issues stems .from Englewood's position relative to the rest of' the metropolitan area. For instance the Santa Fe - Platte Riv er corridor constitu-tes one of" the major north-south travel corridors in the metropolitan area . Likewise. the US 285 travel corridor is the most important one in the southern hall of the Denver Metro Area and i s the only arterial system wi:t.h east-west conti..nui:ty south o:f Colf'a.x Avenue. At issue are the future travel requirements and the potential • • I' 32 X I --- -£aPitESSW:A'I' -M&JOft AltT£'"Al -lollHOR AaT[ItUU. ~ ·• ----MINOR AJtT(Itf Al. • •• -C-OLUCTOR ~i : " .. .. .. ·= -· ... : . !);: ... :! -· < :;; i]~--------+-~-~ •• -----~-----------.. • ""'"-,1--'-=-_-.,_..L.!''-"--1-"--~: , .

Is s ues that must be confronted include the proposed Columbine Freeway .. the US 285 Freeway .. arterial street widenings and/or limiting access .. traffic signal systems .. overcomi.ng arterial discontinuities .. one-way streets .. a..n.d so on. Travel within the city merits attention as a separate category for it a..:f:fects each of Englewood's most important citizens ---its residents. In this group. the speci.:fic issues include one-way streets .. street volumes and capacities .. discontinuities o:f travel .. signal systems and regulatory tra.1'fic signs . The la st category o.f issues and problems ---those rel.at:ing to current and :future changes taking place "Within the city ---include the trend toward higher r esidential densities i.n many parts of' the city .. poten- ti.a.l industrial development in the northwest corner of the city. Platte River Valley d evelopment and redevelopment .. and so on. These cha..nges af":fect travel patterns and travel demands .. and as a result have an impact upon future transportation systems. The following section of' this chapter identifies recommended street and highway projects concerned with each of the 1arter three categories of issues and problems . Projects are divided into two classiiications: Regional Arterials and Loca1 Streets. They are further identi.f'ied as either i..n:l.mediate action projects (I ) .. short-range projects (S). and long -range projects (L). The immediate action projects are those needed now and shou1d be accomplished no later than the end of the year of' 1972. Short-range projects include those required with in the next five years and long -range projects those required thereafter. The master table in the Appendix A table o.f this report includes a suuu::nary description of' each project and the recommended stage construction schedu1e for each project. C.

Bet:""'·een Broadway and nivcrsity Boulevard. t..be need for an arterial wt.t.h continuity :from. Denver int.o Littleton was carefully considered.

The bu.1k or t.h.is increase ~rough Engl.e'W'ood bas occu:red on Broadw-ay a.nd Logan. The need for addidonal north-s outh capacit-y is recogni~ed but. t.he sohrt.ion should be one t.hat. has the mlni_rnu:rn connict. wi.th t.h.e existing land-use pat:t.erna in the study area. Alt.crnat:ives The i.rnprovement. of' Clarkson to a ~o-lane minor arterial from Orchard Road t.o S 285 was recommended _..-f.t.h t.he full recognition of t.he implications o£ t.h.J._s course of' act. ion and after care:f"ul consideration o£ a number o'f' alternat-ives. These alternatives consilned o'f' a combina - tion of" act.ions all of" which cou.ld increase t.he capacit y of extsti.ng no:rt.h-sout.h arterial syst.erns wit.hout. improvements on Clarkson. The alternatives included removal of a1l parking on Logan St.reet. during peak hours and t.he ''"rideni.ng of" Logan suf£iciently to acc.ornodat.e elt.her f'our full t.ravel lanes or three full t.ravel lanes with one lane dest.gnat.ed as reversible; e xtension of t.he Bannock-SherTna.n one-way st.reet system to Ya1e on the nort:h a.nd Chenango on the south; and removal of parking on Broadway during morning and evening peak hours t.o a.ccomoda.t.e an a.dd.lt.iona.l lane o'f' through traf"f-ic. Since Logan S treet. has cont.inuit.y from Be1leview i.nt.o Denver to t.he north. Logan would appear t.o be a r easonable candidate for further improvements. However. Logan Street is an exc l usive r esident i.al street. and the adjacent properties were never planned for t.he impact of heavy a.rt.crial t.ra.1'fic. Logan already carries more t.ra..rt'ic t.ha.n it should for a reaidentia l s t.rcet. o ·f it.s charac1.er. An addJt.iona..l disadvantage o.f' Logan La the fact that. this s treet. terminat.es at Belleview on the south where t..he greatest. amount. of t.ra.f"fic growth wi.ll occur. Further. alt.hough Logan ex:t.ends int.o Denver. there are no plans in Denver either t.o extend the Logan - Grant one -way couplet. or increase Loca.n's capacity sout.h of' 1 -25 . The extension of" t.he Bannock -Sherman one -way system was reject.ed f'or reason a si.mllar t.o those on Logan. Both Bannock and Sherman are r esidential street.& and further e.xtension would s imply int.roduce a hardship to the r esident s who Uve on t.h e st.reet.s. (See f'urt..her discussion of" the one-way syst em under Project 13.) The removal o.f park:i.ng on Broad'W'ay a.s a short.-range t..raf-'f'ic l.mprovement~ w as aJ_so reJect-ed . w ·hile peak•hour remov-al o'f' parking from Broadway W"Ou1d increase the capacity o'f' that. street. somewhat. south of US 285. increased travel volumes would merely increase the t.ra.v-el delay further north be cause of" the reduced number o~ travel lane s. Further. plans for t.he southern e xt:e n sion of the Broadw-ay-Lincoln one -way couplet in Denver are rn_any years in the future. Advantages a.nd Disadvantages o.f Improvements to Clarkson The principal advantage o:f providing additional capacity on Sout..h Clarkson St.reet. is that it is the most. logical street to accomodat.e addJ.tJ.ona1 increments o~ t.ra.Lfic gro'Wt.h because of' it.& continuity .furt.her t.o the south.

It. has a lways b een the center of' retail trade . tran s- portation. business. banking and governmental off"ices. In its boundar - ies. there are major railroad tracks and two major highways. US 85 and US 285. There is still a small residential section within the con:f'i..nes of" the CBD but. this is quick1y changing. The Cinderella City complex brought a major retail shopping center to Central Englewood and provided the city with the opportunity to :improve the quality of liie f"or the most i..n:lporta.nt people in Englewood., the citizens. I.n the past decade. Central Englewood has changed extensively. The Ci.n.dere lla City complex was a ma.gnet that: attracted banks. small businesses and some large businesses. lt shifted the center of' Engle - wood to the -west. and greatly reduced the role o:f the Broadway s trip as a major commercial center. In recent. years. the Englewood central business district. has emerged as one of' severa.1 prominent regiona.J_ sub-centers i.n the Denve r metropolitan region. Today .. it is the dom.ina..nt sub-center £or the south a..nd southwestern portions of' t:he region and has extensive retail shopping. ba.nki.ng and office facilities. II Central Englewood is to rema.in a regional center f'or business .. finance. and specialized goods and servi.ces. the cent:·ra.l area must kee p pace with the overall growth o:f the entire metropolitan area. To do this .further changes must be brought. about and :further growth provided :for through int.e11igent pla.n.n.i.ng .. community support a...nd adequate :fi.na...ncing. A. CBD Conc e pt Plan Throughout history. the :fate of' cities has largely depended on ho'W quick1y they could adapt. t.o change. As Cent.ra.1 Englevvood continues to grovv and change .. the problems of' access .. traffic congestion .. ped - estrian circulation .. pedestrian-vehicle confi.ict.s and lack of' adequate parking facilities ~11 seriously threaten its ability to cope with and accomodate change. This chapter attempts t.o look ahead and visualize the problems that Central Engle"Wood is about t.o face and t.o provide solutions to better the environment. 31 • • -- • • 0 ,. - Initially. it is important "to recognize the :fu11 geographic extent o:f the whole central area and the interrelationships of its severa1 parts. For example . the commercial entities :fronting Broadway serve a complementary role to Ci.nderel1a City; to reinforce this role .. it is essential t.hat there be a connection between them. Further. the centra1 area includes land that is now vacant and land uses that will or should be changed . The main features o:f the recommendations f"or Central Englewood a r e a new :focus -:for the whole a r ea between the old established business area and Cinderella City .. Figure 11. and a ci..rcu1ation system that t:ies the CBD together. Figur e 12. The first oi these. the central Cocus .. is a large open space and pedestrian mall on Girard Street between Broadwa a.nd Cinderella City. The second feature is a circulation plan that provides: 1) a separation of" local and through t.ra..f:f'ic; 2) a parking scheme that. wi.ll iree the existing land in the core area f'or redevelopment; and 3) a transit plan that includes internal bus circulation and a concept to allow for the most effective use o:f :f'uture public transportation systems planned by the R egional Transportation District. B. "'he Englewood Mall Th e role o:f pedestrians in e ntral Englewood has been slowly evolving wi.t.h more and more people using the nat.ura1 mode of' tran s- portation ---walk..i..ng ---to move through the area. The mall ~ shown in both 'F 'igu.res 11 & 12. is designed to provide a pedestrian link between the older business area o£ Englewood on Broadway and Cinderella City. Even more important .. the mall could be the physical link that. ties the two areas together . thus allowing for expansion o:f the Centra1 area. It can also become the main focus o£ Central Englewood. providing a park-like promenade that could spur major redevelopment. As shown .. the mall would extend :from Elati to Broadway .. a distance of 1700 feet .. and would r a nge £rom 60 to 140 :f"eet wide. It would provi.de the opportunity Cor new land uses on land currently used £or on_·-street pa.rk:i.ng. The mall's princi.pa1 role is that of a connection between the business uses on Broadway and the Cinderella City Shopping Center., but equally as important is the opportunity to induce new land uses along and adjacent to the mall. As suggested in Figure 11 .. some o'f' these uses cou ld inc lude multi-'f'amily apartment structures .. recreational and cultural facilities~ a civic center complex .. and expanding commercial 32 • • • --• - - ----------.......... ---.............. __ -• ( :z: <t:: ___J o._ 1--o.._ L..LJ C) :z: C) C) c:::l a:::l C) = - - 33 T 32X - - - - - 0 - and office uses. C. Circulation Plan Traf£ic congesti.on a..nd pa..rk::i..ng shortages wi.ll be the foremost problems in Central Englewood in the future . Through the introduction o-r a. through tra..:f.fic circulation system that does no·t conflict with CBD traf;fic. a pedestrian mall scheme .. fringe parking areas and an internal transit system .. these prob1ems can be mi.nimi.zed. The traf:f'ic circulation and parking plan f"or Central Englewood show ·n :in Figure 12 .. is designed to dive rt through-traffic around the central area.. bring downtown traffic as close to its destination as possible vv-ithout cloggLng the core streets . and emphasize the role o-f the pedestrian and new transit services. Its major features are a completely r econ s tructed US 285 allowing for through traffic to be carri_ed in a tunnel section under the existing roadway .. a new street connection between Old Hampden Avenue at Acoma and Hampden Place. and a..n improved transition section on Floyd Avenue at Broadway . The major features of the plan are d esc ribed below: 1. US 285 The largest highway project i.n terms o:f' cost and scope proposed for DoV~Tntown Englevvood is the reconstruction oi US 285 (Hampden Avenue) bet"Ween Santa Fe Drive and Broad"Way . This project involves the construction oi a one-half mile long tunnel between Jason and Bannock Streets .. which would carry four lanes of through traffic under the present roadway while all local tra.ific and turning movements would be accommodated at the s urface. A schematic design for the project is shown in Figure 13. As mentioned in the previous chapter. the tunnel concept was c hosen :from among several alternatives because it would cause the leas t disruption to Central Englewood and because it would be visually acceptable for the dovvntown area. As shovvn .. the entire facility .. both surface street and tunnel with ramp. can be accomodated within the approximate present right-o.f-way. Further .. grades are favorable because of the existing underpasses under Broadway and Santa Fe. The design concept indicates one set of ramps to and "from the tunnel between Elati and Cherokee Streets which would provide opportunities to enter and leave the Cinderella City area while also serving the expressway inter- change at Santa Fe . The overall project for U S 285 also involves reconstruction o.f the present US 85 -US 285 interchange. It is proposed that a new three-level diamond interchange be constructed in its stead . A design concept for this interchange is shown in Figure 14. 34 • I I ' ! ~ -- r 32x • • -. -. - L [ r-z I 0 ~ L ~ \[ ::::> L) ~ L) [ Cl CICI [ L) I I i --• • • £! "' .... :> = ~ 35 . r '!

The interchange is complicated because of the close proximity of the railroad tracks but it is considered f"easible for this location. The three -level diamond and the tunnel funct.ion exceptionally -well considering the congested nature oi." the area. As shown ~ a.1l. traffic on US 285 east. o'f" US 85 desiring to turn either north or south on US 85 (or vi.ce versa)~ wou1d be required to use the sux-f'ace level on Hampden in order to gain access to the interchange ramps. Likewise all traffic destined to the Cinderella City area ·from the north. so uth and west (via US 85 or US 285) would be required to use the interchange ramps. These ramps would a11 be tvvo -lanes in one direction and would provide adequate capacity for these :functions . 2. Hampden Place The plan :for Hampden P1ace. a1so sho-wn i.n Figure 12 .. involves an eastern extension o:f th.is roadway to a neVi/ direct connection Vli7i..t.h Old Hampden Avenue just. wes-t of Acoma Street. The purpose of this connection is to provide an ·•i.ntra -CBD" circulation system that is completely separate "from US 285. As sho--wn .. th.is new street wou1d connect directly .,.,.-tth the parking area at: Cinderella City a .n d wou1d :form the southern componen't: o:f an ''inner 1oop'' s-t:reet system together wi.th Fl..oyd. Lincoln and t.h roadway on the west sid e o"f Cinderella City. There is a..n i.nunedi..ate need for the Hampden P1a.ce e.x:tension for t_t -wou1d a..l._lo-w the present congested intersection at. US 285 and Bannock 't.O be sixnpl..if"ied. With Hampden Avenue no longer i."eedi..ng into S 285 .. the tra.f"-£i.c signal at Bannock can be reduced to two-phas operation (it is now three-phase) and two-way operation o:f Bannock Street wou1d have greater capacity. The Hampden Place extension should have the same cross - section as Old Ha.m.pden Avenue. The estimated cost of the Hampden Place extension is abou-t $200 .. 000 to $240., 000 depending upon the right-o:f-way costs. For budgetary purposes. the latter figure is recommended - 3. Floyd-Broadway -In conjunction with the ''i..nner loop'' street. system mentioned above. it is important f'or traffic operational reasons .. to eliminate the jog in Floyd Avenue at Broadway. Figure 12 illustrates the proposed solution.. Floyd Avenue wou1d be extended directly east from Broadway. adjacent to the Post Office building . then transition into ex.:isti..ng Floyd Avenue jus't west of Linco1n Street. 38 • J l • • T ~2X - • • • • 0 - The present situation can be tolerated "for a few more years . but by 1975 the improvement work shou1d be scheduled. The anticipated cost is $200 . 000 .. of which $160., 000 is right-of-way costs. (Some o:f this cost can be recouped because most of e.x:i.st:ing Fl.oyd Avenue between Lincoln a..n.d Broadway can revert to private ownership.) D. Parking in Downtown Engle"Wood At the present ti.me there appears to be no major park:i..ng problems in Downtown Englevvood. Free parking is abundant .. at both curb and off-street spaces .. and only during limited times o1: the year are there shortages . This is due to three factors: 1) Cinderella City Shopping Center provides its ov.rn parking which is adequate at least 95 percent o"f the time; 2) the Broadway businesses have n ot expanded in recent years; 3) there is a large reservoir o£ available parking in the blocks between Broadway and Cinderella City. This situation could change drastically ii major redevelopment were to occur in the blocks betvveen Broadvvay and Cinderella City. Because this is exactly what is contemplated in the CBD concept plan presented in this chapter .. it is important that future parking requirements be considered as part o'C the overall plan. It is suggested that two policies be followed relative to parki.ng in Do'W'Tltown: E . 1. Require all developers o'f' land betvveen Cinderella City and Broadway to provide off-street parking sufficient to meet the needs o-f: any uses contemplated. (This should also apply to land south o:f US 285 where major commercial activity -- but not retail --can be expected. ) 2. Consider city development of major parking facilities on Lincoln Street .. roughly centering on G:ira...rd. The capacity required should be in the range of 1250 to 1500 spaces. (Initia.lly .. these spaces shou1d be in surface lots wi.th provision for going to structures 1a.ter on. Pedestrian Circulation in Do'W'Tltovvn Engle-wood Pedestrian traffic in the Englewood CBD area is currently con- centrated i.n the Cinderella City Shopping Center and to a lesser extent,.. along two blocks o"f the Broadway strip bet"ween Floyd and Hampden. .[mmediately adjacent to Cinderella City., there are potential generators of pedes-trian traffic (City Ha11 .. Wya.tts Ca1'eteria,.. Ki..ng Soopers,.. etc.) but no real provision for accommodating pedestrian traffic. There is m:inirnal pedestrian activity along Girard Street between E1ati and 39 • • • /'32X • • • • 0 - Broadway and Girard is the natural and logical link between Cinderella. City and Broadway. The basic goal of" a pedestrian circulation system is to move people safely . easily and pl.easantly between buildings or other activity centers. Pedestrian activity in the CBD is presently discouraged by the void between Cinderella Ci"ty. a complete multi-use center containing its own pedestrian circulation system. and the Broad-way strip. Thus .. a major objective of' a pedestrian circulation system in Englewood is not on1y to provide for more e.fficient pedestrian circu1ation patterns. but also to provide for the redirection of' pedestrian tra:ffic betvveen Cinderella City and Broadway . The f'ollo"Wing suggestions are applicable to the existing situation i.n. Englewood .. but can be easily expanded to complement proposed future development pl.a.ns. 1. Short-Range Pedestrian I1nprovements a) Elati Street At present ,. Elati is a. physical ,. ~s ual and psychological. barrier to pedestrian circulation between Cinderella City and Broadway. El.a.ti Street cannot realistically be closed to vehicular travel. but the speed of' trafi'ic sbou1d be reduced . and pedestrian crossing points should be increased. made more distinctive and protected by stop signs . In addition .. it is suggested that the Cinderella. City Shopp.Lng Center parki..ng lot north of Joslins be modif"ied so that park..i.ng maneuvers do not take place on Ela.ti. b) Girard Avenue Girard Avenue should be pedestri-an oriented providing a safe .. interesting and convenient pedestrian link between Cinderel.la City and Broadway . This wou.ld not on1y be a physical link .. but also a visual connect.ion --a major consideration in the function:ing of pedestrian sys't:ems . Automotive traffic should be restricted to "local'' tra.1'i'ic only . Wide sidewal.ks and pedestrian amenities should be provided; parking should be removed .from both sides of' Girard and speeds should be severely restricted. The removal of on-street parking should not create parking shortages since there are suf.ficient parking lot spaces in the area . Additional attempts should be made to increase the pedestrian orientation of' Broadway from Floyd t:o Hampden Avenue. Amenities such as trees. selective sidewalk widenings and t.he l.ike should be provided . Tra:ffic control devices should favor the pedestrian during non-peak hours,. especially at: the 40 • I 1 I I • • 1'32X • • • • 0 .. - intersection o'f Broadway and Girard. c) Parking Sufficient parking now exists at Cindere11a City .. K.ing Soopers .. Wyatts Cafeteria.. City Hall. at the b1ocks west of Broadway and at various public and private lots to serve a1l types of" parker demands . All existing parking 'facilities are 1ocated in c1ose proxi.mity to pedestrian -ways. and are easi1y access- i.ble 'from traff"ic circu1ation patterns . d) Transit Existing and proposed short-range public transportation route s wou1d provide adequate servi.ce a1ong pedestrian routes .. though they wou1d not necessari1y encourage pedestrian circulation. Bus she1ters should be provi.ded at City Hall .. Girard and Broad- -way .. and Floyd and Broadway. 2. Long-Range Pedestrian Improvements The pedestrian ci.rcu1ation improvements proposed £or the existing Englewood CBD area can be easily expanded to complement 'future CBD development plans. The creation o'f a Girard Mall would provide the central feature of a f"uture pedestrian system . The pedestrian orien - tation o"f Broadway should be g r eatly increased. The vis ual and physical i.mprovernents suggested for the short-range s hould be expanded to increase ped strian interest along Broad- way. Parking sho uld be severely restricted or prohibited on the street .. and off-street pa...rk.i.ng spaces east of Broadvvay should be expanded. The pedestrian orientation of E1ati. shou1d be increased. particu1ar1y in response to heavy pedestrian traffic moving a long Girard Street Mall to Cinderella City. A pedestrian overpass across Elati Street. 1i.nk:i..n.g the M.a11 to Cinderella City shou1d be considered. Lncreased parking east of Broadvvay should provide im.mediate a nd easy access to pedestrian way s . Proposed transit 1inks should be directly connected to pedes- trian ways and should encourage pedestrian use o'f transit f"aci1ities and services. 41 • • • r • • • • 0 ,. - F. CBD Transit The ro1e of adequate transit wi.thi..n t..he Englevvood CBD will be an i..mporta.nt element .for a pleasant and e :ffic ient CBD. For the short-range,. it is suggested that an exclusive "shuttl.e service" £or the Eng1ewood CBD and Cinderella City Shopping Center operat:i..ng between Floyd and US 285 and bet-w-een Broadway or Lincoln and Cinderella City be introduced. Figure 12 depicts the recommended route for this service. This ''shutt1e service'' vvou1d be very si..J::ni.lar to the lim..ited service currently offered by the Fi.rst National Ba..n.k. and would hopefully retain the many uni.que characteristics of the First National Bank's Cherrelyn Horse Tro11ey. For the long range . i.n conjunction wi.th a "hi.gh-type" rapid transit system operating on Broadway .. it is suggested that a transit station be planned at Girard a.nd Broadway ~ A Girard station would ut:i..1.i..ze t.he full amenities o-:f'.fered by the Girard Mall and wou1d also rei..n.:force the proposed redevelopment of this area. A collector-distributor system possibly a moving sidewa1.k or a horizontal elevator wou1d operate on Girard to provi.de a di.rect lin.k with the Broadway rapid tra.nsit system and Cinderella City. G ~ S taging the Pl.a.n The sequence o"f staging the plan .. or implementing it in logical sequences .. is as important as the plan itself. Each increment of street and highway improveme.nt work shou1d be carefully weighed at the appropriate time to ascertain need .. benefits and costs. Two stages of' development are envi.sioned. Stage I work would concen- trate on improving the street net-work in the CBD and the establishment of a sound transit base for the core area. Stage ll work is closely associated w-ith the redevelopment of the can . 1~ Stage I The "following projects constitute the first stage of CBD transportation improvements: Prq;ect 1) Providing a local traffic circulation system that is completely independent of" US 285 by con- struction o"f a new road-way li.nk:i.ng Hampden Place at Cherokee Street to 01d Hampden Avenue. 42 • Date 1972-73 I Ll 11 I • • r • • • • 0 - 2) Create a c ity-operat ed mini -bus net work in the Central area similar to that currentl y offered by the First Nation a l Bank. 1972 3) R eve rt Bannock and Sherman Streets back to two-1972 way operation. 4) De-emphasize the traffic role o'f Elati by the 1 972 removal of the le'ft turn arrow at US 285 and E lati. 5) R educe vehicle speeds in the core area to 25 mph 1 9 72 a nd in stall pedestrian signs and pavement markings. 6 ) Improve DMT bus servic e to Central Engle-1 9 72 wood (See Chapter 3). 2. Stage II --The Stage 11 project s would be part o.f a major CBD r e developme nt program suggested to take plac e between 1 9 75 and 1 980. Th e major projects include: Project l) Eliminate the existing Floyd Av e nue jog at Broadway by the construction of a new roadway between Broadway and Lincoln Streets south o'f the pre sent Floyd ali.gnment . 2) Separate through and l.oc a1 t.ra..fTic on US 285 by means of a rour l.a.ne tunne l section f"or through tra.f.fic irorn th e existing Broadway inte rchange to t..hc Santa Fe inte r change o n the west.. 3) Develop a pedestrian mall and mini-park on Girard Street: between Broadway and Cindere lla City Shopping Center.

H. Traffic and Land Use I.mpact:s of the CBD Plan Oo"W"nt:own Englewood has three major arterial h.igh""W""ays on its bou.:ndaries: US 85 (Sant.a Fe Drive) .. US 285 (Hampden). and Broadway. The average daily tra..f.fic on a11 three roadways is at the point where the corridors are actually clogging Englewood's core streets . It is important .. there£ore. to provide .future circulation and park:i..ng systems :f'or Central E nglewood that: wi.ll reduce the impact o:£ these roadway s on Englewood. Furthermore .. these systems should bring do-wntovvn traif"ic as close to its destination as possible wi.thout: clogging the core str eets .. a nd they shou1d emphasize the role of' the pedestrian and new transit services.. The US 285 tunnel section .. the major improvements to the US 85 corridor~ and the Hampden Place improvement should~ to a 1arge degree. reduce the existing confii.cts and meet these require- ments. It is equally i.mporta.nt to provide adequate pa.rk::i.ng facilities on the periphery of' the developing core area. Park..i..ng structures should be considered for the area just south o:f US 285 and just east: o:f Broadway. This should a1low f'or a core area wi.th a mi..ni..mum o:f automobile tra...ffic. It must b e recognized that as Downtown Englewood develops ~ the added facilities in the core area will attract. more trips. There:f'ore .. it is important to provide a strong public transportation system that wil1 help alleviate the congestion and air quality problems in.herent. in a heavy activity center served strictly by the automobile. The transit a...nd pedestrian recommendations f'or the Englewood CBD should provide f"or a system of effective alternates to the car. The recommendations Cor Downtown Englewood should not: only a llov.r t:he area to be attractive and orderly but a1so provide opportunities t:o meet expanded socia1 and economic needs. In general., an i..mproved downtown environment~ both physical and economic .. should be achieved . 44 I ~ • • "32x -- - - - • 0 .. - Chapter 3 TRANSIT Transit service vv-ith.i..n the W est ern Arapahoe County study area is practica1ly non-ex.istant. at the present tim e . The absence of public tran spor-tation means that many persons do not have the mobi-lity that: should be thei-rs in a r egion as large as Denver. 1n ad dition. the increasing population and car ownership r ates in Denve r and its suburbs are causing de'fici.encies in the existing street system .. and th ese deiici.encies vvi11 be extremely costly to overcome. It is becoming increasingly obvious that the Denver area can no longer tolerate an indiscriminate growth i.n automobile trave 1. Most persons now agree that deiinit.e s t eps are necessary to arrest the und esirabl e ef-fects of" the volum e of cars. Good public t rans portation t"or the Denver area is considered essential :i:f the quality of" 1i.:fe i s to be maintained and. hope:fu11y im- proved. Until transportation technology develops an individual mode of transportation as ef'f'ective as the automobile and one that "W"ill not conflict with other lile systems .. rapid transit remains an essential requirement ror urban mobility. One o'f the k ey recommendation s of' this s tudy . t.here.fore .. is that broad -scale public tra..nsi.t be introduced in Arapahoe County. Even though the cost o'f n e vv transit servi.c e often appears too great to justi..fy its introduction. the detr:imental e:ff'ects on the e ntire r egion .. resulting irom the increasing use of the automo bile .. shUt the balance i..n favor of: transit. A. P r esent Transit Service in Englewood Englewood has public transportation services provided both by the mu.nici.pally-ovvned (with Littleton) Englevvood-Littleton-Ft.. Logan bus syst e m and by the Denver-owned Denver Metro Transit system. Present bus line s operated by these systems are shown in Figure 15. The Englewood-Litt1eton-Ft. Logan system is an independent bus line operating entir ely within the study area. It serves the :Ft.. Logan State Hospital and the Englewood and Littleton bus:Lness districts. l.n addition it provides connecting service to Route No. 3 and 60 for the Denver M e tro Transit system. 45 • -- T 32X • • - • • 46 • I - ll I • • r 32 xl • • • • • - Due to the poor condition and maintenance problems with the buses currently in use .. Englewood requested anct received a grant from the Department of Transportation for the purchase of two new mi.ni.-buse s that should be de1i.vered sometime early i.n 1972. However. the city does not i..ntend to remain i.n the p u blic transportation business. The admi.nis- -tration' s stated po1icy is tha-t it is merely continuing to operate the s ame level of service unt:il a regional approach to mass transportation can be developed. The Englewood-Littleton -Ft. Logan bus system provides bus service on a one-hour headway .. Monday through Saturday .. from 6 a.m to 6 pm. The adult rare is 45¢ and the student fare is 25c. The exist- ing adult rare compares vvi..th some of the highest fares in the nation . The average nUinber of passengers carried per weekday varies from approximately 225 to 275. Figure 15 depicts the DMT routes serving the Englewood area. Route 3 .. the Broadway route. terminates at Cinderella City; Route 73 operates north and south on Downing Street with a southern terminus at Yale; and Route 60 run s on Federal Boulevard with a southern turn -around at Dartmouth. B. Future Transit Potential With the present very low level of service provided to the city of Englewood .. it i s dLfficu1t to make estimates of potential transit use i:f se rvice were to be vastly improved. evertheless it is possible to esti- mate the approximate level of transit patronage il these service improve- ments were made. At the present: time ,. that portion of the Denver Met- ropolitan area served by transit generates about 75 to 100 transit trips per day per 1000 oX the population served (the population served i.s that. portion o.f the metropolitan area population ~thin one-quarter mile wal.k- ing distance of an existing bus line.) These generation rates. applied :in the city oC Englewood . would :indicate that there are about t-wenty-one hundred potential transit trips per day that cou~d be generated. One goal !"or improved bus transit service in the Denver Metropolitan area is to carry about f"ive percent o:f all person-trips. This is approximately two and one-hall times the present ridership level "for the entire metropolitan area. but it is com- parable to the level o.f service achieved in many metropolitan areas the size o:f D e nver. U -five percent of' all person-trips in the city of Engle- wood were carried by transit. there would be approximately 4500 to 5000 transit trips generated within the city of Englewood . 47 • • • • • • • 0 - c. Action Transit Recomm e ndations sing thi s as a ridership "benchmark" for Engle'"'ood a l e v e l of transit service has been proposed which should allow this m a gnitude o f transit ridership to be realized in the very short-range future. The s e s ervice improvements constitute ''immediate action'' transit recommen - dations and are illustrated in Figure 16. Tt i s recommended that Route 3 .. the Broadway route. continue south on Broadway irom the Englewood CBD into Littleton. The exist - ing southbound route should be routed west on Floyd to Elati .. then south on Elati to Kenyon .. east on Kenyon to Broadway. south on Broadway to Littleton Boulevard .. and finally west into dow-nto-wn Littleton. The identical route should be foll.owed fo r nor thbound buses. It is recommended that Route 73 .. the Downing Street route .. which travels on a predominantly residential corridor f"or its entire length be extended into Englewood and terminate at the Englewood CBD. Thi s extension is considered to be highly desir able and should prove to be suc cessf"ul. The proposed route would proceed south on Downing to Girard. we s t. on Girard to Elati .. north on Elati to Floyd .. and f'inally returning to Downing by proceeding east on Floyd. By means of this extension . Route 73 would serve Swedish Hospital. Cinderella City Shopping Center and the remainder or the Englewood CBD a r ea. It is also recommended that Route 6 0 be extended south on Federal Boulevard to the Littleton CBD area . The proposed route is recommen - ded to proceed south on Federal to Belleview . west on Be l .levlew t:o Lo,vell. south on l ~owell to Berry. east on Berry to Julian . south on Julian to Bowles and east on Bowles into the T.-it.tleton CBD. The iden- tical route sho uld be followed f"or northbound buses. This recommended extension or Route 60 will provide service to Ft . Logan State Mental Hospital. Centennial Racetrack and the Littleton CBD . The recommended new service would add approximately 2. 2 miles of new bus route to Route 3. approximately L 8 miles to Route 73 and approximately 0. 9 miles to Route 60. Engle'W"ood would then be ad d ing a total of 4. 9 miles of new Denver !letro Transit Ser vice. Table 9 depicts the costs and anticipated revenue for the new system . Cost. and revenue estimates are based upon the most recent. experience of Denver Metro Transit. Anticipated transit passengers have been estimated by applying the transi t. ridership e x perience of similar DI\1T routes now in operation. These estimates a r e con sidered to be conserva- tive but rea1istic for f'orecast:ing purposes. As shown in Tab:&.e 9 .. only Route 60 would be a deficit operation. This is because o"f the lower pop- u1ation densities .. the f'a.ct that the Route 60 extension would run through 48 • I I • • r • 0 .. - II: ~. •·. 7 I / I • • • -~ 49 '32xl - • • • • • - one and one-hal.f miles of very low density development in Sheridan and the fact that Route 60 does not directly serve downtown Denver. The net eff"ect of the proposed route extensions should be to eli..mi.nate any need for subsidies to Dl\1T by Englewood . while at the same t.ime provi.di.ng much better publi.c transit service to Englewood citizens.

Logan bus system cease operations. ln order to provide for a continua tion oi east-west public trans- portation service to F't. Logan. it is r ecommended that. in co -operation with D 1T. the State of" Colorado as an agent f"or Ft. Logan Mental Hospital introduce a m'Lni-bus servic e that w-ill serve the Ft. Logan institution exclusively and connect to DMT lines on Federal and Broadway. This will be exclusive-use service but is essential and should be provided. D. Short-Range Transit Improvements The next phase o:£ improved transit service in Western Arapahoe County constitutes ''short-range" (1973-76) r ecommendations~ Figure 16 . The most :important of these service :improvements wou1d be the :intro- duction of new~ fast and convenient express bus service to downtown Denver. ln Englewood ~ it is recommended that the city ~ :in co-operation with the Cinderella City Shopping Center .. :introduce a "park-and-ride" service from th e northern-most parking area of the Cindere11a City Shopping Center using the previously recommend ed exclusive express bus and car-pool lanes on Santa. Fe Drive . The proposed pa r king a r ea to be used is the ground level par king a r ea adjacent to the rail road trac ks and southwest of Dartmouth Park . Express buses would gain access to Santa Fe Drive via Dartmouth. (It may be poss:ible to obtain a n ew access to the parking lot Crom Dartmouth a1ong the railr oad t r acks a nd Little Dry Creek .) The buses w ·ould t r avel north on the exclusive bus and car-pool l a nes to l-25 and .. hopefully .. north on bus lanes on I-25 . lt is also r e commended for the short-range that "further DMT service be i.ntroduced into southwest Englewood. as demand dictates . As the Ci.nderella City Shopping Center continues to grow and as th e Englewood CBD continues its growth .. an exclusive ''shuttle service" for the Englewood CBD and Cinder ella City Shopping Center .. similar to that now provided by the First National Bank. may be intro- duced. This s huttle service would operate on l y between Floyd and S 285 and between Broadway or Lincoln and Cinderella City. E. Long-Range Transit Improvements For the long-range .. it is believed that a higher-type transit. system is not only desirable but absolutely necessary . Accordingly . potential corridors were analyzed for possibl e introduction of a ''higher-type" .. 51 ~-----.------------------------~~----............ ~ .. --~ ..... . II • • T 32 ><I • • • 0 - rapid transit system . The presumption is that this system would have separate,. f'i.xed facil.ities and perhaps a separate right-of-way . A present transit constraint is th a t a11 the major corridors in southeast. south and southwest Denver have a low-density resid e ntial character that makes any rapid tran s it: system d:if'-f'"icult to justify economically. evertheless , both the Santa Fe Drive and Broadway corridors have potential. as transit corridors and both were e v a luated . The Santa Fe Corridor has existing available land that could be used 'Cor a 'fixed s ur-face rail (a.ir-cushion vehicle, railroad. bi-modal buses . etc .) system. ''Park -and-ride'' .facilities or tran s it collector systems. using mini-buses or "people movers ". could be utili-zed to concentrate people at specifi ed station location s from both the east and west s ide of the South Platte River. A rapid transit system on the Santa Fe Drive corridor would serve t"WO of the most :impor-tant high a ctivity nodes in Arapahoe County: The Englewood CBD (and Cinder- ella City) and the Littleton CBD. It could aJ.so serve potential pa rk -and- rid e s tation s a t Qu.i.ncy Avenue ,. Belleview .. Ridge Road. Gate s Parkv.ray and County Line Road. This corridor's major wea.k::ness is the very low population density within one -half" mile or Sa.n~&.a Fe Drive. The Broadway corridor a l so has potential f'or a high-type tra nsit system . ln Arapahoe County .. the Broadway corridor transit system "Would se rve the Englewood CBD and a number of lar ge a nd small businesses and :industries along the entire l.ength of' Broadway. The Broadway corridor has a much higher population density than does Santa Fe and it does not have to compete directly -with a major highway and private aut.omobile travel. ln summary. both corridors have transit potential .. and both coul.d conceivably accomoda.te a high-type transit system. Broadway is considered by the consuJ.ta.nt to be the superior corridor due to the higher population densities along the corridor. high-activity nodes on or near the corridor and the corridor's lack o"f direct competition with a major highway f'ac:ilit:y. Based upon land-use and visual consi- derations .. a subway-type system probably would be required; but even with this cost constra..int.. Broadway is s till considered the superior corridor. As a major compon e nt of' the Regional Transportation District's regional transit system .. the Broadway line should extend .from downtown Denver south to Littleton .. a distance of between nine to eleven miles with a loop turn-around under the Littleton CBD. The initial stage should be introduced from downtown Englewood into downtown Denver, a distance of" six miles. 52 , 1 • • - - - - 0 - A tran s it s tation or transportation center is r ecommended at Girard and Broad w ay in doVTntown Englewood. This center wou1d compl ement th e Girard pedestrian-ma ll concept and could be connected to Cinderella City by means of" a "people move r" operating on th e G'ira.rd Ma11. This latte r system could be on a 'fixed guideway. This system might be a horizont.a1 counter-part: to the e l evator or perha p s a. moving s idewalk. By 1 985 .. th e Broadway transit system can be expect ed to carry at l east 10 .. 000 persons per hour in th e peak morning and e e n'Lng periods a t Broadway and Ya1e. This ridership l e vel i s conservative .. but the low density re s idential cha..racteristics of south Denve r may not generate more trips for a heavy transit syst e m. The system s hould be fie:xible e nough to a llow :for e xten s ion s and an increase in servi.c e if the d emand in the :future dictates su ch an increase. In l.i..ne with a preliminary presentation made by the Regional Transportation District which emphasized the e merge nce of n ew urban centers along the Colorado Front R a ng e Corridor .. the r ailroad tracks a long Santa Fe Drive were examined f'or their potential. use as in inter- city . high speed rail transit link. For e xample .. Castle Roc k was d esignated as an area compatible with urban d e v e lopme nt .. and th e e xis t- ing railroad tra ckage links this area to downtown Denve r. Of course,. such a proposal may be :far into the .future .. but it is an e xciting concept. Since the system r ecommended .for the Broadway corridor i s intra - city a nd the rail system from Castle Rock i s inter-city. there is n o major conflict bet""een the two system s . Fig ure 17 depicts the long-range transit recommendations f'or Englewood. Overall, major rapid transit s ystems are suggested for both the South Broadway corridor and a growing high dens ity corridor parallel to, and east of. I-25.. These w ou1d be suppl emented by express bus systems operating within the medium to low density areas between th e two corridors .. A regional rapid transit syst em is envisioned .for the Santa Fe Drive corridor .. In Englewood. Figure 17 indicate s the Broadway rapid transit line .. depicted as "High Type I U rban " system . The major tran s it station at Broadway and Girard is also s hown. 53 . , -- T 32 X --• - Il l I - ---J 54 -• T 32X - - • • I l r L r • • - Further detailing of the long range transit i..mprovement.s. including costs and revenue projections .. wi.1l be forthcoming soon under the leadership of the Regional Transport.at.ion District. Some variations from the recom- mendations conta..i.ned herein may be anticipated., but the signllicant point is that Englevvood figures very strongly i.n both long range tran s it. plans.

Mayor ex officio City C1erk I, , do hereby certify that the above and foregoing is a true_ accurate and comp1ete copy of a Bi11 for an Ord~nance_ introduced_ read in fu11 and passed on .fi~~t ~eadLng on the day o f 1972. ex officio City C1erk -4- • • ~'32xl • • • • The research of authorit~es for the deve1opment of the proposed new Section 11-7-7 et seq. of the City Code ~as gathered from numerous sources, but primari1y from decided Federa1 cases since 1959, and a1so the State Legis1ative Enacbmen t dea1ing with pornography, being Section 40-28-1 et seq., C.R.S. '63, as amended. The 1969 Act was used 1ibera11y in the preparation of the proposed amendment. As you may know, the 1969 Act dea1ing ~th pornography was ru1ed unconstitutiona1 by Judge Naug1e in December of 1970. Reference to that materia1, and specifica11y those items that the Judge fe1t were un.const:i.tuti.ona1, have been removed. Reference has a1so been made and materia1 has been taken from the Sections on Crimes and Punishment under the new State Crimina1 Code, proposed Section 40 -7-101 re1ating to pornography, which act wi11 be in effect on Ju1y 1, 1972. References were made to the draft study of the new Federa1 Crimina1 Code, Tit1e 18 of the United States Code, presented in a fina1 report to the President and Congress in November 197 _. It is interesting to note that much of the materia1 for the Federa1 Act has been incorporated in the new State Crimina1 Code on pornography. The Sections above retain as much of the existing obscenity 1aw as the United States Supreme Court has indicated is constitutiona11y va1id. The tripartite test was first out1ined in Roth vs. The United States, 354 U.S. 476 (1957) case, and elaborated on in 1-Iernoirs vs. l'-1assachuse tts, 383 U .S. 413 (1966) case. The tripartite test was simply the fo~~o'-Ti.ng: Material is obscene if taken as a who1e it: (a) Has as its dominant theme an appea1 to prurient interest in sex of the average person, or in the case of materia1 designed for or disseminated to a specia1 group, to the prurient interest in sex of the members of the group; and (b) Exceeds the candor permissib1e in description or representation of sexua1 matters judged by standards generally accepted in the United States as limiting such description or representation; and (c) Utterly without socia1 va1ue to persons to whom the dissem~nation ~s addressed. The definition of "Predo·minant Appea~" 11-7-7 A (2) incorporates the pandering rule of Ginsburg vs. The Uni ted States, 383 U.S . 463 (~963) case. Note thatth~s Sect~on prohibits distribution or promotion, but it does not prohibit possession of pornographic materials, which was dec1ared unconstitutiona1 in S tanley vs. Georgia, 394 U .S. 357 (1969) case . • I ~ • • • • • In a very recent case of Kara1exis vs. Byrne, 306 Fed. Sup .• 363 !'tass .• U.S. Dist:. Ct:.

A£ter reading numerous cases and materia1s on this subject ~accer, it seems to ~e the trend of the American Law ~th reference to obscenity, takes on two significant areas of effective 1egis1ation.

STREET NA).JE CHANGE We st Hampden Place to Car1 Norgren Way. CASE H9-72 Mrs. Romans stated that the City has received a request t:rom Mr. Don Carney. Vice-Chairman of the First Nationa1 Bank of Eng1ewood. to change the name of the street known as West Hampden P1ace to Car1 Norgren Way. This street runs ~ro~ South Cherokee Street to South E1ati Street. Mrs. Romans stated that this street was designated as West Hampden P1ace by the City Counci1 in 1971. on the recom.mendation of the P1annin g C ommission. This designation was reco~ended a~ter considerab1e study and review ot: the street naming standards by the staff, and it is fe1t that the designation of West Hampden P1ace does con:Corm to these standards. ~Irs. Romans stated that the staff strong1y opposes deviation from these standards which exist throughout the metropo1~tan area. Mrs. Romans cited past changes o~ street names in an effort to conform with these sta ndard s. and a1so cited the prob1ems caused for post oLfice officia1s, taxi drivers • fire. po1ice • etc. when trying to 1ocate an add:xe sa that doesn•t conform to the street naming pattern. Mrs. Romans £urther dis- cussed the pre1iminary report o£ the Voorhees Traffic Study. i.n which the possibi1ity of extending West Hampden Avenue from approximate1y the Acoma- Bannock bridge to tie into West Hampden P1ace i.s discussed. This pro- cedure wou1d e1iminate one 1eg of the now very congested Bannock-Hampden-u.s. 285 intersection, and carry the traffic to 1ess congested dispersing points. Mrs. Romans stated that a copy of the staf.J: report has been sent to Mr. Carney, and a te1ephone ca11 was made to his office ear1ier in the day to notify him that this matter wou1d be considered by the Commission at this time. Mrs. Romans c1osed her presentation by urgi ng that the street naming standards be adhered to. and that the name of West Hampden P1ace be retained . Mr. Brown stated he was at the Counci1 Meeting when Mr. Carney first made the proposa1. He stated that he fe1t the staff was correct in recommending the retention of the West Hampden P1ace name. Mr. Brown stated that he £e1t Mr . Norgren was deserving of such an honor, but be didn•t fee1 it was feasib1e or wise to grant this honor in changing a name o£ a street . • Mr. Brown suggested that possib1y the First Nationa1 Bank of Eng1ewood cou1d erect some type of monument in honor o£ Mr. Norgren•s contributions to the City . • • • • • • Mr. Robins agreed that it would not be wise to deviate from the street naming patterns in order to grant an honor to one individua1. Mrs. Vobejda stated that she felt a building named in honor of Mr. Norgrec would be more fitting. Mrs . Henning suggested that perhaps the Board of Directors of the First National Bank o£ Englewood would 1ike to consider dedicating land for a park to be natned in honor of lotr. Norgren. Mr. Carlson pointed out that changes were made on many streets i n Englewood several years ago. and more recently on South Pecos Street and South SanQ Fe Lane. changing the names oL the streets to co n form to the street naming pattern. Mr. Carlson stated that he didn"t feel the City should deviate rrom the street naming pattern. Henn~ng moved: Vobejda seconded: The mot~on carried . The P1anning Commission recommend to City Council that the name for the street extending fr om South Cherokee Street to South E1ati Street~ now known as West Hampden P1ace, be retained. Mr. Brown asked that the First National Bank be contacted and the reasons £or the decision be explained to them. IV. SUBDIVISION WAIVER G1enn H.

He noted that this warehouse bas no water supplied to it, and that there is a restri c tion on the books in the t h e Building Divi sion sta ting that this warehouse may be used only for the stora ge o f salt. Mr . C arlson questioned the validity of this restr~ction, a nd asked if it would be enforced better than correction o f violations on prope rty at 3296 South Zuni, noting violations set forth in a letter to Mr. Kooi date d August 14, 1969. There is no record in the fi 1e of any of t h e c orrections having been mad e . Discussion £o11owed. • Mrs .

A1though not on the Conference agenda~ this vi sit wa s a h igh1ight of the trip. Operation Eyesore~ conceived in 1960~ is a neighborhood c on- servation p r o gram designed to combat b1 igh t. The program treats spot areas o f b1i ght by aiming at deteriorating ••temporary ·· (garage homes) and substandard dwe11ings. Action is initiated on the above type o~ dwe11ings under the fo11owing conditions: 1 . Temporary or su bstandard dwe11ing for sa1e. 2. Temporary or substandard dwe11ing f or rent . 3. Deterio rating temporary or substandard dwe11ing b1ighting the adjacent neighborhood. When one or more o~ the above conditions exist~ the property owner is conta cted and cooperation requested for one o f f our courses o£ action: 1. Vo1untary remova1 of structure b y owner . 2 . Remova1 or structu re by City crews with consent o f owner_ 3~ Acquisition of property and remova1 o f structure by the City . 4 . Remova1 of structure by Cit y ~ bu t post poned t o an agreed date in consideration of 1ease requirements . The program is s upported by Ci ty fi nancing a1one and no Federa1 fundi ng is uti1ized. Th e c ost to the City is-approxi- mately S100 to ~0 ~000 per year. Costs resu1t when it is necessary to a cqui re the property. For this purpose~ money is withdrawn fr om a specia1 revo1ving f und. The property is then c1eared and the property so1d to the highest bidder with the proceeds returned to the revo1ving ~und. The 1oss per dwe11ing is s ma11 because o f the 1ow va1ue of structures on the property. C onsequent1y~ the major cost is for the 1and which is recouped through resa1e ~ -• r 32x - - • .. • • • <• - -2- In the first year, the experimenta1 program resu1ted in re- mova1 o£ on1y 10 substandard structures. The success of the program was quick1y recognized. however. and by 1963 over 100 substandard struc~ures bad been removed. The program has since been expanded to inc1ude substandard commercia1 and mu1tip1e fami1y structures . Between 1960 and 1970, 380 structures were removed. The impressive part of the program to me bas been the addition to the community of many new sing1e fami1y homes as a resu1t of the program. The homes are most1y o~ standardized design and modest in price, but fit in we11 with the community and provide good housing. The residents of these homes to whom we ta1ked were satisfied with the program. The two photographs on the next page show garage houses and the type of dwe11ings rep1acing them. The improvement is obvious. The third photograph is a c1ose-up of one of the rep1acement dwe11ings. We were very impressed with the resu1ts of the program and fee1 that such a program wou1d be app1icab1e to our situation for curing .. spot .. b1ight occuring throughout the community • • II • • T 32X • -• - -3- PHOTOGRAPHS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT • • • • • • • r 32x • • • 0 - -4- Opening Session: The opening session of the conference on Sunday was keynoted with an address by Me1 Ravitz, President of the Detroit Common Counci1. Ravitz made a terse and bitter prediction for our urban areas: ""Af£1uent suburbanites, b1ack and white a1ike, wi11 soon skirt the centra1 city, actua11y driving around rather than through, because of inadequate streets, crime and insufficient services. •• Whether Mr. Ravitz wi11 admit it or not. Detroit is a1ready suffering from this condition. The downtown become s a ghost town at night and on weekends. Most good stores. theaters, etc .• have moved to the suburbs 1eaving the centra1 city to the minorities and poor. Ravitz regretted the fact that America·s urban areas have been shaped more by basic cu1~ura1 and socia1 forces than by the ski11s and perceptions of city p1anners. P1anners have counted for 1itt1e in creating our cities in the fact of techno1ogica1, po1itica1. economic and socia1 forces. Mr . Ravitz recommends government tax incentives to encourage retention in, and return to. the centra1 ci~y by residents. Pre cedents for this type of action were 1and gran~s and home- steading in fro ntier days. and the FHA Housing and GI Bi11 Education programs after Wor1d War II. Pub1ic funds shou1d be invested to provide jobs, hea1th care, education. housing. crime prevention and recreation. Neighborhood Renewa1 and Regeneration: On Monday.

After being designated a renewa1 area in the ear1y 19Go·s it has taken over ten years to get Federa1 fu nding . The program was fina11y funded under the NDP program after residents petitioned HUD Secretary Romney direct1y. Citizens o£ the area are very active1y invo1ved and Dr. Mogk (Wayne State University Professor of Law. 1ives in renewa1 area) defined citizen ro1es as fo11ows: 1. 2. Sensitize the p1anning process to community needs. (Goa1s Imp1ementation, Refinement of P1ans.)

Because o f economic and social. c on- straints. both demo1ition and rebabil.itation were e1~inated as viab1e a1ternatives: 1. Demo1ition wou1d cost too much socia11y and economica11y. 2.

The chosen a1ternative is a program to cause continuous re- generation. Tri-p1exes wi11 be intermixed with sing1e-famil.y whi1e sti11 retaining the basic singl.e fami1y character. This type of program may be app1icab1e in Northwest Eng1ewood and has been suggested by some residents of the area . Mobi1e Workshop: The Mobi1e Workshop ... O f.f:"ice Deve1opment: Central.

The purpose of the A g reement was to minimize traffic going to and irom the shopping comp1ex on South Cherokee Street, South De1aware Street, South E1ati Street, and South Ga1apago Street . To accomp1ish this and sti11 provide for access to the north. the center is1and on West F1oyd Avenue has no break at South Dc1awarc Street: and South Ga1apa p:o Street, and a traffic is1and '"as i.nst:a11ed at South Cherokee Street and South E1ati Street: on the north side of the Avenue. South Fox Street has been designated from the beginning oi the discussion of the shopping comp1ex at this 1ocation, as the on1y street with direct acc ess from. West Dartmouth Avenue into Ci.nderel.l.a City. In 1969, several. peopl.e requested that the is1ands at South Cherokee Str~~t and South El.ati Street be removed. The City contacted persons owning propert.y on South Cherokee Street and on South E1a.ti Street and, aiter considerab1e study, the isl.and at South Cherokee Street was removed. The is1and at South E1ati Street was not removed at that t:ime, however..

Their observations are that the island has become an obstacle to the dr~ver northbound on Sou~h Ela~~ S~ree~ •ant~ng to go north o.f' West Floyd Avenue, but not a barrier. In maneuver~ng around the is1and a very dangerous situation is created .

The results are attached. During the hal~-hour between 7:30 and S ·:OO A!\1~ i.t was noted that a total o£ 12 vehicles. north-bound on Elat1 , managed to continue northwa rd by by-pass~ng the tr3££~c ~s13nd 3t th~s 1ocat~on. Th is con s tituted a tra1~ic hazard io that those motorists mecessar~1y h3d to dr~ve ag3~nst the £1ow or tr3££~c. At the same time, this could possibly indicate the demand 1or this route to be opened 1or north-bound vehicles. The Eng1ewood Po1~ce•s report or Ho1~day Trarr~c Control: stated that this intersection required a police o£~icer to direct tra1£ic. Th ey have r eque s ted si g nalization at this location. A complete study to justi~y a signa1 has not yet been comp1 eted. As quick1y as w ork 1oad permits. X wi11 give you a report concerning this . Tra~~ic-wise. (to estab1ish a smooth ~1ow) I recommend the is1aod whic h b1ocks the E1ati entrance~ be removed a n d the median is1and in the center o~ F1oyd on the east side o£ this int e r- section be cut back £or proper a1ignment. Th e attached vo1ume count indicates that a good percentage o£ tra11ic , north-bound on E1ati. are now making a 1e1t at F1oyd to continu e north .

Ku1p noted that the traffic is a probl.em at Christmas time. but that it is a c once ntrated prob1 e m because o f the hol.idays. He stated that if the island were to be removed • the ••neighborh o od wou1..d have the probl.em f or the entire year ." Mr. Todd stated th at he was in sympathy with the Pol.:ice Department. but noted that aL Christmas tioe the traffic wil.l. be heavy whether the is1..and is there or not~ a nd whether the intersecti on is si.gna1ized or not. Mr. Todd po inted t:.o instances i n downtown Denver during th e hol...iday season where pa trolmen are required to direct the traffic, and stated that the same wi11 be required in Englewood . Mr ..

H e nn ing asked if South E1ati Street is de signated as an arterial. on the Master Street Plan? ~r. Supinger stated that ~t was not. Mrs .. Hennin g t h en -3- • • - • -. • asked if l-tr . S -up1nger fe1"1:. that the remova1 of the is1and wou1d indeed make i~ a major ar~eria~? Mr. Supinger s~ated that it ~ou1d ; he poi nted out that traffic ci rcu1ation around a shopping ce nter wi11 cause prob1ems no matter what, and "that considering the advanta ges the shopping center has brought to the City of Eng1ewood , the C~ty must make e ve ry ef~ort to a ssure convenient access and egress for "the shoppers . Mr . Supinge r stated that the circu1ation patterns for traffic to the north of F1oyd are not g ood, and the remova1 o£ the is1and wou1d improve this pattern. Discussion ~o11owe d. Mr. Waggoner commented that he regarded the proposed remova1 of the is1and as an over- a11 ben efi t f or the City ; he stated that a signa1 won•t accomp1ish anything without the remova1 of the island. Mr. Waggoner further stated that he £e1t the prob1em was not one of too muc h traffic or that the intersection n eeded s~gnalization, but that the island is dangerous in the way that motorists circum v ent it. Chief Clasby noted that traffic circulation in the area north of the Shopping Center is v ery poor. Chief C1asby stated that the chan ge to two-way traffic on Girard Avenue only compounded the problem that e xi sted in this area previously. He stated that be felt the volume o f traf fic cou ld b e far better accommodated if the intersection of E1ati and F1oyd were to b e opened to through traffic. Mr. Brown thanked Mr . Wa gg oner for presenting the alternate plans for the intersection. A~. Brown then brought up the fact that the City Council has bad a tra ffic study done by Voorhees. Associates. the final draft of which shou1d be available very shortly. Mr. Brown sta~ed that the Study cou1d contain recommendations on this particular matter, and that be felt the Com- mission recommendation should be delayed until the receipt of the final draft of the Traffic Study. ~~. Brown stated that he felt a recommendation from the Commis sion wi11 require a great dea1 o f serious study, and that the recommendat ion shoul.d be made regarding what is best f or the City o£ Englewood in its entirety . Mr. Ro ss asked if the Traffic Study would take into consideration the back- ground of the traffic island: the contract with the people, the proposa1 and prom ise that there would be no through traffic on Elati Street, etc.? Mr .. Ross stated that the ••Agreement•• appeared to h:Lm to be a serious com- mitment to a group of people in the area where it was obvious there would be a ••great dea1 of traffic·•. The commitment was made that there would be a green strip alung Floyd Avenue with trees and 1andscaping and no openings to a11ow through traffic except on South Fox Street. He stated that it appeared to him that ••we are trying to overl.ook the :fact there is this commitment... .Mr. Ross stated that he did not regard contracts and commit- ments as .. something to be pushed under the tab1e when something new comes up... He stated that he fe1t his commitment has to be a major consideration in the solution o:f this prob1em. Discussion fo11owed. Mr. Lentsch com- mented that be fe1t the City administration should have been aw~e of the nee d of proper traffic circu1ation around the shopping center at the t~me the commitment was made_ Mr. Weist stated that in view o£ discussion that bas taken place at this meeting, he did not ~ee1 the Commission was in a position to make a recom- mendation for a change. Weis t moved : Vobe~da seconded: Tbe Planning Commission recommend to City Council that the island in South Elati Street at West Fl.oyd Avenue be 1e:ft as it presently exists.
