that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtownbecause of the walkability

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtownbecause of the walkability

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Woodland Park officials present traffic proposals at contentious meeting
By Matt Steiner Updated September 23 2015 at 748 am
WOODLAND PARK - Woodland Park officials shared seven possible city projects with residents Tuesday night that might help improve traffic circulation and pedestrian safety in the Teller County city of more than 7000 people
The public meeting held at the Ute Pass Cultural Center was a follow-up to a March 18 get-together in which about 100 residents sat down in small groups to give their thoughts on negative traffic issues chokepoints possible alternate routes and access to local businesses
This is not about Highway 24 city engineer Bill Alspach said before Tuesdays meeting Its about how we can affect our local street networks and make it easier for our local residents to get around
The city compiled a list of 22 options since the March meeting and narrowed that number to seven based on the residents input
The proposals include speed tables and roundabouts to help slow traffic in school and residential zones The city also proposed business loops both north and south of downtown that might help encourage foot traffic and safety And among the plans were a couple extensions of existing roads and a proposed pedestrian crossing in downtown

Woodland Park delays decision on rules that would impact utilities Internet providers
Alspach and other city officials like planning director Sally Riley stressed that none of the seven choices are in the works Tuesdays meeting was simply to inform residents of the results of the study that began before the March 18 meeting
Ed Hocker with AECOM a research group that helped with Woodland Parks proposals presented the projects before a passionate comment session from the more than 80 residents in attendance
Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables near Columbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and a roundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and Rampart Range roads gained much support The speed tables would cost the city up to $150000 the roundabout would carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the north and south of US 24 focused mainly around potentially disturbing residential areas A proposed north business loop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5 million and a southern business route could be as much as $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtown because of the walkability
A lot of these (proposals) seem like theyre about driving through town Baker said All theyll do is put more cars on the streets
Despite the citys intention to keep the meeting focused on projects within Woodland Park jurisdiction residents kept bringing comments back to what they consider a need for a revamped US 24 that bypasses downtown Alspach and city manager David Buttery reminded residents that a bypass project would be a Colorado Department of Transportation endeavor
According to Buttery a bypass has been discussed since the mid-1970s and is simply not a priority for the state He also said that project would cost at least $100 million
We cant afford it nor can the state afford that project he said
Alspach said Tuesdays meeting was simply the next step in the high-level planning process He said the city will review input from the meeting and decide if any of the proposed projects will be feasible
The plan isnt to do them all Alspach said Can we do a couple of them Possibly

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Woodland Park officials present traffic proposals at contentious meeting
By Matt Steiner Updated September 23 2015 at 748 am
WOODLAND PARK - Woodland Park officials shared seven possible city projects with residents Tuesday night that might help improve traffic circulation and pedestrian safety in the Teller County city of more than 7000 people
The public meeting held at the Ute Pass Cultural Center was a follow-up to a March 18 get-together in which about 100 residents sat down in small groups to give their thoughts on negative traffic issues chokepoints possible alternate routes and access to local businesses
This is not about Highway 24 city engineer Bill Alspach said before Tuesdays meeting Its about how we can affect our local street networks and make it easier for our local residents to get around
The city compiled a list of 22 options since the March meeting and narrowed that number to seven based on the residents input
The proposals include speed tables and roundabouts to help slow traffic in school and residential zones The city also proposed business loops both north and south of downtown that might help encourage foot traffic and safety And among the plans were a couple extensions of existing roads and a proposed pedestrian crossing in downtown

Woodland Park delays decision on rules that would impact utilities Internet providers
Alspach and other city officials like planning director Sally Riley stressed that none of the seven choices are in the works Tuesdays meeting was simply to inform residents of the results of the study that began before the March 18 meeting
Ed Hocker with AECOM a research group that helped with Woodland Parks proposals presented the projects before a passionate comment session from the more than 80 residents in attendance
Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables near Columbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and a roundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and Rampart Range roads gained much support The speed tables would cost the city up to $150000 the roundabout would carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the north and south of US 24 focused mainly around potentially disturbing residential areas A proposed north business loop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5 million and a southern business route could be as much as $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtown because of the walkability

Despite the citys intention to keep the meeting focused on projects within Woodland Park jurisdiction residents kept bringing comments back to what they consider a need for a revamped US 24 that bypasses downtown Alspach and city manager David Buttery reminded residents that a bypass project would be a Colorado Department of Transportation endeavor
According to Buttery a bypass has been discussed since the mid-1970s and is simply not a priority for the state He also said that project would cost at least $100 million

The plan isnt to do them all Alspach said Can we do a couple of them Possibly

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtownbecause of the walkability

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

This is not about Highway 24 city engineer BillAlspach said before Tuesdays meeting Its about howwe can affect our local street networks and make iteasier for our local residents to get around
The city compiled a list of 22 options since the Marchmeeting and narrowed that number to seven based onthe residents input
The proposals include speed tables and roundabouts tohelp slow traffic in school and residential zones The cityalso proposed business loops both north and south ofdowntown that might help encourage foot traffic andsafety And among the plans were a couple extensions ofexisting roads and a proposed pedestrian crossing indowntown

Alspach and other city officials like planning directorSally Riley stressed that none of the seven choices are inthe works Tuesdays meeting was simply to informresidents of the results of the study that began beforethe March 18 meeting

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtownbecause of the walkability
A lot of these (proposals) seem like theyre aboutdriving through town Baker said All theyll do is putmore cars on the streets
Despite the citys intention to keep the meeting focusedon projects within Woodland Park jurisdictionresidents kept bringing comments back to what theyconsider a need for a revamped US 24 that bypasses

downtown Alspach and city manager David Butteryreminded residents that a bypass project would be aColorado Department of Transportation endeavor
According to Buttery a bypass has been discussed sincethe midshy1970s and is simply not a priority for the stateHe also said that project would cost at least $100million
We cant afford it nor can the state afford that projecthe said
Alspach said Tuesdays meeting was simply the nextstep in the highshylevel planning process He said thecity will review input from the meeting and decide if anyof the proposed projects will be feasible
The plan isnt to do them all Alspach said Can we doa couple of them Possibly Well take the top ones andthat will give us some direction for the future

Woodland Park officials present traffic proposals at contentious meeting
By Matt Steiner Updated September 23 2015 at 748 am
WOODLAND PARK - Woodland Park officials shared seven possible city projects with residents Tuesday night that might help improve traffic circulation and pedestrian safety in the Teller County city of more than 7000 people
The public meeting held at the Ute Pass Cultural Center was a follow-up to a March 18 get-together in which about 100 residents sat down in small groups to give their thoughts on negative traffic issues chokepoints possible alternate routes and access to local businesses
This is not about Highway 24 city engineer Bill Alspach said before Tuesdays meeting Its about how we can affect our local street networks and make it easier for our local residents to get around
The city compiled a list of 22 options since the March meeting and narrowed that number to seven based on the residents input
The proposals include speed tables and roundabouts to help slow traffic in school and residential zones The city also proposed business loops both north and south of downtown that might help encourage foot traffic and safety And among the plans were a couple extensions of existing roads and a proposed pedestrian crossing in downtown

Woodland Park delays decision on rules that would impact utilities Internet providers
Alspach and other city officials like planning director Sally Riley stressed that none of the seven choices are in the works Tuesdays meeting was simply to inform residents of the results of the study that began before the March 18 meeting
Ed Hocker with AECOM a research group that helped with Woodland Parks proposals presented the projects before a passionate comment session from the more than 80 residents in attendance
Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables near Columbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and a roundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and Rampart Range roads gained much support The speed tables would cost the city up to $150000 the roundabout would carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the north and south of US 24 focused mainly around potentially disturbing residential areas A proposed north business loop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5 million and a southern business route could be as much as $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtown because of the walkability
A lot of these (proposals) seem like theyre about driving through town Baker said All theyll do is put more cars on the streets
Despite the citys intention to keep the meeting focused on projects within Woodland Park jurisdiction residents kept bringing comments back to what they consider a need for a revamped US 24 that bypasses downtown Alspach and city manager David Buttery reminded residents that a bypass project would be a Colorado Department of Transportation endeavor
According to Buttery a bypass has been discussed since the mid-1970s and is simply not a priority for the state He also said that project would cost at least $100 million
We cant afford it nor can the state afford that project he said
Alspach said Tuesdays meeting was simply the next step in the high-level planning process He said the city will review input from the meeting and decide if any of the proposed projects will be feasible
The plan isnt to do them all Alspach said Can we do a couple of them Possibly

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtownbecause of the walkability

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtownbecause of the walkability

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

According to Buttery a bypass has been discussed sincethe midshy1970s and is simply not a priority for the stateHe also said that project would cost at least $100million
We cant afford it nor can the state afford that projecthe said

According to Buttery a bypass has been discussed since the mid-1970s and is simply not a priority for the state He also said that project would cost at least $100 million
We cant afford it nor can the state afford that project he said
Alspach said Tuesdays meeting was simply the next step in the high-level planning process He said the city will review input from the meeting and decide if any of the proposed projects will be feasible
The plan isnt to do them all Alspach said Can we do a couple of them Possibly

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

This is not about Highway 24 city engineer BillAlspach said before Tuesdays meeting Its about howwe can affect our local street networks and make iteasier for our local residents to get around
The city compiled a list of 22 options since the Marchmeeting and narrowed that number to seven based onthe residents input
The proposals include speed tables and roundabouts tohelp slow traffic in school and residential zones The cityalso proposed business loops both north and south ofdowntown that might help encourage foot traffic andsafety And among the plans were a couple extensions ofexisting roads and a proposed pedestrian crossing indowntown

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtownbecause of the walkability
A lot of these (proposals) seem like theyre aboutdriving through town Baker said All theyll do is putmore cars on the streets

Woodland Park officials present traffic proposals at contentious meeting
By Matt Steiner Updated September 23 2015 at 748 am
WOODLAND PARK - Woodland Park officials shared seven possible city projects with residents Tuesday night that might help improve traffic circulation and pedestrian safety in the Teller County city of more than 7000 people
The public meeting held at the Ute Pass Cultural Center was a follow-up to a March 18 get-together in which about 100 residents sat down in small groups to give their thoughts on negative traffic issues chokepoints possible alternate routes and access to local businesses
This is not about Highway 24 city engineer Bill Alspach said before Tuesdays meeting Its about how we can affect our local street networks and make it easier for our local residents to get around
The city compiled a list of 22 options since the March meeting and narrowed that number to seven based on the residents input
The proposals include speed tables and roundabouts to help slow traffic in school and residential zones The city also proposed business loops both north and south of downtown that might help encourage foot traffic and safety And among the plans were a couple extensions of existing roads and a proposed pedestrian crossing in downtown

Woodland Park delays decision on rules that would impact utilities Internet providers
Alspach and other city officials like planning director Sally Riley stressed that none of the seven choices are in the works Tuesdays meeting was simply to inform residents of the results of the study that began before the March 18 meeting
Ed Hocker with AECOM a research group that helped with Woodland Parks proposals presented the projects before a passionate comment session from the more than 80 residents in attendance
Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables near Columbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and a roundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and Rampart Range roads gained much support The speed tables would cost the city up to $150000 the roundabout would carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the north and south of US 24 focused mainly around potentially disturbing residential areas A proposed north business loop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5 million and a southern business route could be as much as $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtown because of the walkability
A lot of these (proposals) seem like theyre about driving through town Baker said All theyll do is put more cars on the streets
Despite the citys intention to keep the meeting focused on projects within Woodland Park jurisdiction residents kept bringing comments back to what they consider a need for a revamped US 24 that bypasses downtown Alspach and city manager David Buttery reminded residents that a bypass project would be a Colorado Department of Transportation endeavor
According to Buttery a bypass has been discussed since the mid-1970s and is simply not a priority for the state He also said that project would cost at least $100 million
We cant afford it nor can the state afford that project he said
Alspach said Tuesdays meeting was simply the next step in the high-level planning process He said the city will review input from the meeting and decide if any of the proposed projects will be feasible
The plan isnt to do them all Alspach said Can we do a couple of them Possibly

When Woodland Park citizens were asked to show where the cityrsquos worst traffic is located their answer usually depends on where they live and which highway

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtownbecause of the walkability

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtownbecause of the walkability

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtownbecause of the walkability

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtownbecause of the walkability

Woodland Park officials present traffic proposals at contentious meeting
By Matt Steiner Updated September 23 2015 at 748 am
WOODLAND PARK - Woodland Park officials shared seven possible city projects with residents Tuesday night that might help improve traffic circulation and pedestrian safety in the Teller County city of more than 7000 people
The public meeting held at the Ute Pass Cultural Center was a follow-up to a March 18 get-together in which about 100 residents sat down in small groups to give their thoughts on negative traffic issues chokepoints possible alternate routes and access to local businesses
This is not about Highway 24 city engineer Bill Alspach said before Tuesdays meeting Its about how we can affect our local street networks and make it easier for our local residents to get around
The city compiled a list of 22 options since the March meeting and narrowed that number to seven based on the residents input
The proposals include speed tables and roundabouts to help slow traffic in school and residential zones The city also proposed business loops both north and south of downtown that might help encourage foot traffic and safety And among the plans were a couple extensions of existing roads and a proposed pedestrian crossing in downtown

Woodland Park delays decision on rules that would impact utilities Internet providers
Alspach and other city officials like planning director Sally Riley stressed that none of the seven choices are in the works Tuesdays meeting was simply to inform residents of the results of the study that began before the March 18 meeting
Ed Hocker with AECOM a research group that helped with Woodland Parks proposals presented the projects before a passionate comment session from the more than 80 residents in attendance
Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables near Columbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and a roundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and Rampart Range roads gained much support The speed tables would cost the city up to $150000 the roundabout would carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the north and south of US 24 focused mainly around potentially disturbing residential areas A proposed north business loop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5 million and a southern business route could be as much as $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtown because of the walkability
A lot of these (proposals) seem like theyre about driving through town Baker said All theyll do is put more cars on the streets
Despite the citys intention to keep the meeting focused on projects within Woodland Park jurisdiction residents kept bringing comments back to what they consider a need for a revamped US 24 that bypasses downtown Alspach and city manager David Buttery reminded residents that a bypass project would be a Colorado Department of Transportation endeavor
According to Buttery a bypass has been discussed since the mid-1970s and is simply not a priority for the state He also said that project would cost at least $100 million
We cant afford it nor can the state afford that project he said
Alspach said Tuesdays meeting was simply the next step in the high-level planning process He said the city will review input from the meeting and decide if any of the proposed projects will be feasible

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables nearColumbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and aroundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and RampartRange roads gained much support The speed tableswould cost the city up to $150000 the roundaboutwould carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the northand south of US 24 focused mainly around potentiallydisturbing residential areas A proposed north businessloop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5million and a southern business route could be as muchas $15 million

Despite the citys intention to keep the meeting focused on projects within Woodland Park jurisdiction residents kept bringing comments back to what they consider a need for a revamped US 24 that bypasses downtown Alspach and city manager David Buttery reminded residents that a bypass project would be a Colorado Department of Transportation endeavor
According to Buttery a bypass has been discussed since the mid-1970s and is simply not a priority for the state He also said that project would cost at least $100 million
We cant afford it nor can the state afford that project he said
Alspach said Tuesdays meeting was simply the next step in the high-level planning process He said the city will review input from the meeting and decide if any of the proposed projects will be feasible
The plan isnt to do them all Alspach said Can we do a couple of them Possibly

Woodland Park officials present traffic proposals at contentious meeting
By Matt Steiner Updated September 23 2015 at 748 am
WOODLAND PARK - Woodland Park officials shared seven possible city projects with residents Tuesday night that might help improve traffic circulation and pedestrian safety in the Teller County city of more than 7000 people
The public meeting held at the Ute Pass Cultural Center was a follow-up to a March 18 get-together in which about 100 residents sat down in small groups to give their thoughts on negative traffic issues chokepoints possible alternate routes and access to local businesses
This is not about Highway 24 city engineer Bill Alspach said before Tuesdays meeting Its about how we can affect our local street networks and make it easier for our local residents to get around
The city compiled a list of 22 options since the March meeting and narrowed that number to seven based on the residents input
The proposals include speed tables and roundabouts to help slow traffic in school and residential zones The city also proposed business loops both north and south of downtown that might help encourage foot traffic and safety And among the plans were a couple extensions of existing roads and a proposed pedestrian crossing in downtown

Woodland Park delays decision on rules that would impact utilities Internet providers
Alspach and other city officials like planning director Sally Riley stressed that none of the seven choices are in the works Tuesdays meeting was simply to inform residents of the results of the study that began before the March 18 meeting
Ed Hocker with AECOM a research group that helped with Woodland Parks proposals presented the projects before a passionate comment session from the more than 80 residents in attendance
Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables near Columbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and a roundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and Rampart Range roads gained much support The speed tables would cost the city up to $150000 the roundabout would carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the north and south of US 24 focused mainly around potentially disturbing residential areas A proposed north business loop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5 million and a southern business route could be as much as $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtown because of the walkability
A lot of these (proposals) seem like theyre about driving through town Baker said All theyll do is put more cars on the streets
Despite the citys intention to keep the meeting focused on projects within Woodland Park jurisdiction residents kept bringing comments back to what they consider a need for a revamped US 24 that bypasses downtown Alspach and city manager David Buttery reminded residents that a bypass project would be a Colorado Department of Transportation endeavor
According to Buttery a bypass has been discussed since the mid-1970s and is simply not a priority for the state He also said that project would cost at least $100 million
We cant afford it nor can the state afford that project he said
Alspach said Tuesdays meeting was simply the next step in the high-level planning process He said the city will review input from the meeting and decide if any of the proposed projects will be feasible
The plan isnt to do them all Alspach said Can we do a couple of them Possibly

they most often travel US 24 or Colo 67This questions and others were asked at a March 18 public meeting at the Ute Pass Cultural Center launching the Woodland Park Traffic Circulation Study which is sponsored and funded by the Colorado Department of Transportation the Federal Highway Administration and the city City consultant Ed Hocker of AECom (formerly USB) led the discussion with help from Lisa Bachman and Monica Ramey of Bachman PR and city Public Works Director William AlspachAfter an introduction that covered goals the history of Woodland Parkrsquos road development constraints and solutions types the nearly 100 participants seated at 10 tables worked together to answer four questionsQ Please list three to five general traffic issues
that your group thinks negatively impact Woodland ParkA Answers varied but almost every table mentioned speed and the high volume of traffic on US 24 and too many drivers trying to avoid highway traffic by taking side streets Downtown sidewalks are too narrow and too close to traffic streets and sidewalks are not aligned Businesses are difficult to accessQ Where are the top three traffic choke points Number them in order What are the main contributors to the problem at each siteA Nearly everyone agreed that the Paradise CircleAspen Garden WayUS 24 intersection is the worst chokepoint in the city because of misaligned signals blind spots caused by the intersectionrsquos grade speed Almost every intersection on either highway was listed by one table or another because of traffic congestion when parents are picking up school children and people are traveling to and from workQ If you had to pick two alternative routes to provide better mobility within and through Woodland Park where would you place them WhyA Some tables suggested Baldwin at US 24 to either Lake Avenue or Kelleyrsquos Road to Colo 67 Others suggested Chester Avenue Henrietta Avenue and County Roads to the south of the city from Trout Creek to Crystola One table said there are no safe alternative routes and one group said any route that didnrsquot add traffic to their residential street was OK with themQ How would you provide better access to businesses along US 24 downtown without putting more cars on the highwayA Almost everyone suggested synchronizing traffic signals and improving signage to parking lots but some also suggested removing sign clutter One common answer was to remove the medians on US 24 through the downtown One table suggested focusing local traffic on a business loop that included Henrietta to the north of downtown and Saddle Club Way to the south One suggested reviving the cityrsquos bypass plans and another suggested constructing an elevated highway over the cityHocker said the city needs a long list of possible solutions because it will need projects to fit whatever funding becomes available Some solutions would be easy and relatively cheap Alspach said later including improving signage and traffic signals Others would likely be completely out of reach such

Woodland Park officials present traffic proposals at contentious meeting
By Matt Steiner Updated September 23 2015 at 748 am
WOODLAND PARK - Woodland Park officials shared seven possible city projects with residents Tuesday night that might help improve traffic circulation and pedestrian safety in the Teller County city of more than 7000 people
The public meeting held at the Ute Pass Cultural Center was a follow-up to a March 18 get-together in which about 100 residents sat down in small groups to give their thoughts on negative traffic issues chokepoints possible alternate routes and access to local businesses
This is not about Highway 24 city engineer Bill Alspach said before Tuesdays meeting Its about how we can affect our local street networks and make it easier for our local residents to get around
The city compiled a list of 22 options since the March meeting and narrowed that number to seven based on the residents input
The proposals include speed tables and roundabouts to help slow traffic in school and residential zones The city also proposed business loops both north and south of downtown that might help encourage foot traffic and safety And among the plans were a couple extensions of existing roads and a proposed pedestrian crossing in downtown

Woodland Park delays decision on rules that would impact utilities Internet providers
Alspach and other city officials like planning director Sally Riley stressed that none of the seven choices are in the works Tuesdays meeting was simply to inform residents of the results of the study that began before the March 18 meeting
Ed Hocker with AECOM a research group that helped with Woodland Parks proposals presented the projects before a passionate comment session from the more than 80 residents in attendance
Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables near Columbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and a roundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and Rampart Range roads gained much support The speed tables would cost the city up to $150000 the roundabout would carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the north and south of US 24 focused mainly around potentially disturbing residential areas A proposed north business loop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5 million and a southern business route could be as much as $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtown because of the walkability
A lot of these (proposals) seem like theyre about driving through town Baker said All theyll do is put more cars on the streets
Despite the citys intention to keep the meeting focused on projects within Woodland Park jurisdiction residents kept bringing comments back to what they consider a need for a revamped US 24 that bypasses downtown Alspach and city manager David Buttery reminded residents that a bypass project would be a Colorado Department of Transportation endeavor
According to Buttery a bypass has been discussed since the mid-1970s and is simply not a priority for the state He also said that project would cost at least $100 million
We cant afford it nor can the state afford that project he said
Alspach said Tuesdays meeting was simply the next step in the high-level planning process He said the city will review input from the meeting and decide if any of the proposed projects will be feasible
The plan isnt to do them all Alspach said Can we do a couple of them Possibly

Woodland Park officials present traffic proposals at contentious meeting
By Matt Steiner Updated September 23 2015 at 748 am
WOODLAND PARK - Woodland Park officials shared seven possible city projects with residents Tuesday night that might help improve traffic circulation and pedestrian safety in the Teller County city of more than 7000 people
The public meeting held at the Ute Pass Cultural Center was a follow-up to a March 18 get-together in which about 100 residents sat down in small groups to give their thoughts on negative traffic issues chokepoints possible alternate routes and access to local businesses
This is not about Highway 24 city engineer Bill Alspach said before Tuesdays meeting Its about how we can affect our local street networks and make it easier for our local residents to get around
The city compiled a list of 22 options since the March meeting and narrowed that number to seven based on the residents input
The proposals include speed tables and roundabouts to help slow traffic in school and residential zones The city also proposed business loops both north and south of downtown that might help encourage foot traffic and safety And among the plans were a couple extensions of existing roads and a proposed pedestrian crossing in downtown

Woodland Park delays decision on rules that would impact utilities Internet providers
Alspach and other city officials like planning director Sally Riley stressed that none of the seven choices are in the works Tuesdays meeting was simply to inform residents of the results of the study that began before the March 18 meeting
Ed Hocker with AECOM a research group that helped with Woodland Parks proposals presented the projects before a passionate comment session from the more than 80 residents in attendance
Of the proposals only a pair of speed tables near Columbine Elementary School on Kelleys Road and a roundabout at the intersection of Kelleys and Rampart Range roads gained much support The speed tables would cost the city up to $150000 the roundabout would carry a price tag of about $15 million
Concerns about the possible business loops to the north and south of US 24 focused mainly around potentially disturbing residential areas A proposed north business loop along Henrietta Avenue could cost about $5 million and a southern business route could be as much as $15 million
Jim Baker said he moved to the area south of downtown because of the walkability
A lot of these (proposals) seem like theyre about driving through town Baker said All theyll do is put more cars on the streets
Despite the citys intention to keep the meeting focused on projects within Woodland Park jurisdiction residents kept bringing comments back to what they consider a need for a revamped US 24 that bypasses downtown Alspach and city manager David Buttery reminded residents that a bypass project would be a Colorado Department of Transportation endeavor
According to Buttery a bypass has been discussed since the mid-1970s and is simply not a priority for the state He also said that project would cost at least $100 million
We cant afford it nor can the state afford that project he said
Alspach said Tuesdays meeting was simply the next step in the high-level planning process He said the city will review input from the meeting and decide if any of the proposed projects will be feasible
The plan isnt to do them all Alspach said Can we do a couple of them Possibly
