This offset of adjoining roads creates a transportation difficulty as local agencies within the area try to create transportation plans that compliment each other and permit a smooth flow of traffic. This study will identify alternative alignment corrections for each intersection identified that will give transportation engineers and planners the tools they need to help preserve the ROW required for the improvements or work with incoming development to construct the improvements. The study focuses on the intersections contained within the corridor boundaries consisting of a twenty mile section of Weld County Road 2, 1/2 mile north and 'h mile south, beginning near 1-25 and extending east to WCR 49. The following six intersecting roadways on Weld County Road 2 are included in this study: 1. WCR 11/York St. 2. WCR 15/Holly St. 3. WCR 17/Quebec St. 4. WCR 19/Yosemite St. 5. WCR 23.5/Tucson St. 6. WCR 49/Watkins or Imboden Through their existing on call services contract with Weld County, the consulting firm of Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig (FHU) will be required to coordinate the work with representatives from the local agencies that currently have jurisdiction of the aforementioned intersections. They include Weld County, Adams County, City of Thornton and the City of Northglenn. Weld County will be the lead agency on the project. Purpose This initial meeting with local agency representatives will establish the final scope of work, study parameters and schedule for the project. Of particular interest will be the finalization of the plans for coordination meetings with the local entities and for the public open houses. This scope review meeting will be conducted prior to the execution of the contract with Weld County. County Line Crossroads Alignment Study Page 1 of 5 Purpose The information gathered and compiled in this task will serve as the basis for creating and evaluating alternative alignments. The intent is to utilize available information to the maximum extent possible and to conduct new data collection only as necessary. Subtask 2.1 FHU will assemble pertinent data and information in order to have a thorough understanding of current and projected conditions near each intersection. All available land use plans, transportation plans, and specific development plans will be compiled and reviewed. Other collected data will include aerial photography, right-of-way and parcel ownership information, access and intersecting roads inventory, environmental considerations, roadway geometrics, utility information, drainage and flood studies and USGS topographic information. All of this information will be summarized in both graphic and tabular forms to produce a comprehensive representation of the physical characteristics of the study area. Subtask 2.2 In this task, all of the information compiled in Subtask 2.1 will be reviewed and interpreted in order to identify opportunities and constraints related to potential alternative alignments. Purpose The purpose of this task is to identify the entire range of possible alternative alignments for each intersection. This work will draw to a large degree on the data, opportunities and constraints compiled in Task 2. Because of the length of the study corridor (20 miles), it is proposed to begin this process by identifying appropriate segments of the corridor based upon jurisdictional ownerships and then developing alternative alignments for the intersections within each segment. Subtask 3.1 In this first step, key crossing/intersecting features will be identified. These will include such features as current land improvements, alignment restrictions or obstacles, and major drainageways. Based on criteria such as topographic conditions, physical characteristics, intersection spacing, geometric conditions, and drainageway widths, possible points at which these features could be reasonably crossed or intersected will be established. Subtask 3.2 These crossing/intersecting features and points will then be reviewed in order to define rational segments to be used in developing alternative alignments. Subtask 3.3 Once the segments have been identified, as many as 3 alignment alternatives will be developed for each intersection. Constraints that may prohibit a third alternative from being further investigated will be identified as early as possible in order to minimize inefficiencies. County Line Crossroads Alignment Study Page 2 of 5 . /7!r':r J: Purpose The purpose of this task is to establish evaluation measures and to apply those measures to each intersection alternative to identify the preferred alignments. Subtask 4. 1 Using a standard roadway cross-section, the various alternatives for each alignment will be assessed through an evaluation process to determine the advantages and disadvantages of the developed alternatives. It is envisioned that the evaluation parameters will include but not be limited to the following: • Horizontal and Vertical Geometry • Community Impacts • Land Use Consequences • Traffic Operations • Environmental Impacts • Right-of-Way Impacts • Safety • Constructability • Cost and Economic Feasibility Subtask 4.2 Information on each alternative will be compiled into an evaluation matrix. A comparative review of the data will be conducted independently by each member of the project team to identify a preferred alternative alignment for each intersection. vir! '. Purpose In this task, FHU will refine the recommended alignments for the intersections. This information will be documented in a final report. Subtask 5.1 The selected alignments will be refined to reflect any review comments received through the public input review process. Such refinements are not expected to be significant, but they should reflect the best knowledge about the alignment. Subtask 5.2 The findings of the study will be documented in a draft report which will be distributed with 5 bound copies and one electronic version to the local agencies for review. The report will include data collected, analyses conducted, findings of the analyses, and the recommendations of the study process. After review of the draft report, FHU will prepare and deliver 5 copies and electronic version of the final report. County Line Crossroads Alignment Study Page 3 of 5 Purpose In order to reach a corridor consensus regarding the alignments, it will be critical that the work be closely coordinated between the project team, local agency representatives, elected officials and affected property owners/developers. This task will include a series of meetings to achieve close and continuous coordination. Subtask 6.1 Monthly (and more frequently if necessary) coordination meetings with LA representatives will be utilized to review and coordinate the work efforts and to resolve problems as they arise. It is anticipated that there will be five monthly coordination meetings conducted for this project. Subtask 6.2 The study process will be divided into an initial phase and final phase. Local agency meetings and public open houses will be conducted for each phase. The purpose of these meetings will be as follows: Initial Phase First Local Agency Meeting and Public Open House — The purpose of this meeting is to introduce the study along with the study process and the purpose of the study. This meeting will also be used to request any available information and gain any input that may be pertinent to the study corridor. It is anticipated that the following local agencies will be included in the study process: • Weld County • Adams County • City of Thornton • City of Northglenn Notifying all parcel owners within the study corridor will be a major element of the first public open house. Being able to notify as many parcel owners within the study corridor as possible will set the stage for the rest of the public process for the study. We anticipate conducting this notification by sending public notices to all of the parcel owners as defined from the County's Assessor's maps, and by advertising the open house in the local paper. Second Local Agency Meeting — Present the different alignments within the study corridor and receive input on the alignments before they are presented to the public. There will be the opportunity at this meeting to add or delete alignments as necessary. Second Public Open House — Present all of the different intersection alignments within the study corridor in order to get the public's input. If the public requests additional alignments to be evaluated as part of the study process, those additional alignments may be added to the study. County Line Crossroads Alignment Study Page 4 of 5 Final Phase Third Local Agency Meeting and Final Open House — Present initial screening of alignments and receive input on the "initial preferred alignments". Fourth and Final Local Agency Meeting — This meeting will be conducted to present the final recommended alignments as they will be defined in a report. One-on-one discussions with interested parties and meetings with small groups have been the key to resolving issues and to developing consensus toward the best possible alternative. The project team will, therefore, maintain an "open door" policy for all elected officials, local entity staffs, property owners, and developers to be able to contact FHU at any time during the process. Optional Services In addition to the basic scope of services as outlined in this proposal, one area of potential scope modification involving environmental could exist. If an abundance of environmental concerns are discovered with the project, FHU has the staff to assist with noise concerns, historical societies, endangered species, wetlands, and many other environment related issues. This proposal already includes a cursory involvement of our Environmental Manager, but may also have environmental expertise to conduct in-depth analyses if needed.
