NOW, TfiIItEFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Aspen -
and the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin County that in
j•�-. .
order to preserve the community's unique character which is made ��"'
� up of definable neighborhoods separated by undeveloped open space ' �
'` � and linked with unobtrusive roads; and to reduce the serious
! adverse impact to the community's social fabric which a four lane
°�T� highway and its construction will generate. Additionally, we
" .�� want to avoid the impacts that an "expressway" like road (high �
I r,- .
-� speed, wide) will bring to our community. Therefore, we strongly �
;,-,,��
�"� offer the following guidelines and recommendations to assist the �
;
� CDOT in developing a roadway design which is not destructive to
_` � our community. .
.�:bi
, 'r; Airport to Maroon Creek BridQe: It is envisioned that in this
." � section of the highway the CDOT and Pitkin County will work
, �;;� together to minimize the left turn needs onto and off of the
.yi.
•`°C'� highway. Service to the activity centers in this area can be
Y�U
;-�?;�� attained through frontage roads and modest grade separations. It
:�-{ is important that the CDOT design the highway in a manner which
�
-_� does not preclude the County from accomplishing these local
;:;;1
' �•�a� roadway reconfigurations. The following are recommended
;.� guidelines in this section of the highway: i

��" � Maroon Creek Brid4e: The Elected Officials have transmitted to

- r::;�.Y . .
, `�:� � the CDOT Resolution 8, Series of 1991 establishing design
% '"f guidelines for the Maroon Creek bridge. All the recommendations
K�;:'g� in that document apply; however, the 10 foot median does not
, M"^�
=;:';a.~'� require a "jersey" barrier as originally expected because of the
,;��;�ti.
::.f; i 40 mph design speeds. Therefore, the median design�on the Maroon
�,
���4
A,`.:� Creek Bridqe should be a raised curb with a hard surfaced •
landscape architectural treatment between the curbs. The 10 foot
� '''<'��1 median on the bridge is accomplished by eliminating the need for
��,;�� left turns at each end of the bridge (the Ranch Road and the west

entrance to the Aspen Tennis Club Subdivision).

and air pollution. In this area the Elected Officials request '
that the CDOT consult the neighborhood on a regular basis to -
establish appropriate design alternatives and solutions. The
following are suggestions made by the neiqhborhood: �.�" �
i "
; A. The highway should be depressed below existing grade as

: r
.,:�
and Eighth Street as necessary to fully mitigate
,,,a
• � visual, noise, and air pollution impacts to the Villas ,`

of Aspen. The use of sound barriers with appropriate
� landscaping and berming will be used to avoid an "urban
.� wall" effect as viewed from the Villas of Aspen looking
southerly. If necessary, the bridge crossing Castle
�i.:.,�
� � Creek shall be depressed below grade in order to
- !.�
*,i accomplish the depression easterly of its location

General Co�ents on the Entire Corridor: The following are .
general comments which can be made about the entire corridor. _
" ' j
These comments are made to ensure that the highway is designed in

� .
iallows the highway to function for transit, bicycles, and
� pedestrians, as well as for automobiles.
�

Trails: The Elected Officials have established a policy which
. �'�'� requires trails on both sides of the highway throughout the
:r;-..� �
�
entire corridor.
, ,:�
•F� Pedestrian IInderaasses: Underpasses along the trail system �
' ,'��
provide two primary benefits: to make the trail system continuous
' p and attractive for pedestrian and bicycle use without ,
_ �..•sl.:I�.M � .
, '�E:.;� interruptions by the highway; and second, help establish

The Elected Officials recommend that pedestrian underpasses be �
located in the following areas. At the airport; Buttermilk;
Grand Champions (in conjunction with vehicle underpassesj; at ���:
each end of the new Niaroon Creek Bridge which connects to the
; �..`�::.
existing Maroon Creek Bridge to become a trail bridge; at the
; Truscott Place/Golf Course entrance; at the intersection of
'�`! Maroon Creek Road and SH 82, to allow for the future possibility ,
;
; of bus transfers at this location, as well as trail connections
� � from one side of the hiqhway to the other; and at the west end of k
.:;i (
.��+, the Castle Creek Bridge. All of these locations appear on the !,.,"'
i 1"=200� map drawn by Design Workshop, Inc., (CDOT consultant)
�! ;
titled "Trail Alternatives".
_ �
s i
r � Landscanina: Landscaping shall be consistent with the
�9 surrounding environment; however, from Maroon Creek Road to
, ,� Seventh Street landscaping should be intense and an obvious
� �
y design feature for the ��Entrance to Aspen". Finally, the Marolt-
�
Thomas open space property has a line of cottonwoods in the �
` �� vicinity of the new highway alignment. The Elected Officials !
_`,� `
,�
have been assured that these cottonwoods will not be destroyed. �,
� The Elected Officials want to retain these cottonwoods. � .

,,{ Maroon Creek Road Intersection: This intersection shall be i
'.� designed at grade as a signalized intersection. Further, the �
. =, ��
� .,-� design of this intersection must take into account the needs of EF
!,�;.; .
;,.;� the Maroon Creek and Castle Creek roads for left turns so that
I ,
! these roads function appropriately. For example, this
iintersection can be improved if Aspen bound traffic from Castle
� Creek Road� can be designed to flow freely onto SH 82 without
,'\:+� ,
goinq through the signalized intersection.
. �
�'i Plum Tree Plaving Field: According to Bill Efting, Assistant
. �'� City Manager, if any portion of the existing playing field is
�
';s-1 used for the highway, then the Plum Tree will not be an adequate
y_�
facility. The highway enlargement project, specifically the new
°'�� Maroon Creek bridge and the roadway east of the bridge will use a �
:;,�� portion of the Plum Tree playing field. As a result, the playing
field will be encroached upon to the point that the field will be �
incapable of accommodating baseball, soccer, and softball; �
F;; therefore, the CDOT must provide the City of Aspen with a ; ;
� i
`.:�� replacement facility. �

' Construction Manaqement and Mitivation: Sn order to mitigate
� - ''::;:�''
impacts on county roads and maintain mass transit schedules, two
.�' lane detours are requested wherever feasible. Those highway � ,
,,;} sections which require any stopping of traffic should be i ` `
.i scheduled to begin in mid April and completed in the most �.
• ,� expeditious manner possible. In order to ensure that the highway �
-'� corridor and not the County road system mitigates construction �.`�' �
„'-i
impacts, the CDOT shall provide priority transit/HOV bypasses
,� where construction is likely to cause traffic disruption.
• Further, the Elected officials would request that specific
�S,`�

� construction contracts. These standards should be developed
�
� ; through discussion with CDOT and Elected Officials.

;`�� Design Review Process: The Elected Officials thank the CDOT for

`:;s the opportunity to help establish design guidelines. The Elected
"Y;� Officials encourage the CDOT to keep the community, especially ;
-�
:�;��i the Villas of Aspen neighborhood, involved in the actual design ;
` process so that obvious design alternatives can be explored at an
early stage rather than after expensive drawings have been �
::;u: commissioned. This will ensure the most expeditious process i1

possible. ; �
