Body
SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• Council directed staff to investigate the feasibility to extend Arapahoe Road through or near the airport to Colorado State Highway 7.
• An existing conditions report is complete.
• Several alternatives were created and will be presented to Council.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Council expressed interest to staff to research another connection from Arapahoe Road to Colorado State Highway 7. This is in response to concerns with increased traffic on Vista Parkway and the indirect connection to SH 7 using Coal Creek Blvd.
The Town has contracted with DJ&A to conduct the feasibility study and provide alternatives outlining opportunities and challenges. After a site visit and research into constraints, an existing conditions report was produced. The existing conditions report provides several options which staff will be presenting.
