Summary And Background Of Subject Matter:
The Town applied for a Safer Main Streets Initiative funding opportunity which was jointly sponsored by Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The project the Town applied for will improve safety, access, and connectivity along a 0.5-mile segment of County Line Rd from Telleen to Evans. The project reconfigures existing ROW to provide bike lanes, sidewalks, medians, turn lanes and location specific safety treatments to minimize conflict for bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles to safely and comfortably coexist on the corridor. The funding request was approved last fall.
The next step is to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the State of Colorado to administer the federal funds. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) administers federal transportation funds for the State of Colorado.
Once the agreement is executed, the Town can begin working with CDOT to select a design firm who will prepare the design and contract documents for bidding the improvements.
Fiscal Impact: The Town has been awarded up to $2,360,000 in funding reimbursement, a 20% match in the amount of $590,000 will be the Town’s obligation.
