Bike Pedestrian and Trails Commission Agenda Memorandum
Meeting Date: June 1, 2020
TITLE: Wheel Circle Pedestrian Easement
SUBMITTING DEPARTMENT: Public Works
ATTACHMENTS: Roaring Fork Village Plat, The Victorians at Roaring Fork Village Plat
BACKGROUND The Board of Trustees requested that the Bike Pedestrian and Trails Commission look into a pedestrian easement connecting the Wheel Circle neighborhoods to the open space at the northwest corner of the Rio Grande Trail and 8th Street.
DISCUSSION On January 26, 1981, Filing Number One of the Roaring Fork Village Subdivision was recorded with Garfield County. This plat created several lots and an open space parcel (southeast corner of the plat along the railroad right-of-way) in the Wheel Circle neighborhood as shown on the attached plat. Over time, several of the lots were subdivided again to create the neighborhood that exists today. Of interest is a note on this plat that says “10’ wide pedestrian easement across Lot 7 to open space. Alignment to be dedicated upon site development.”
On September 13, 1983, The Victorians at Roaring Fork Village plat was recorded with Garfield County. This is a replat of Lot 7 that created several lots and easements including a 10-foot wide “Pedestrian Easement” across Lot E1 and F2 within a 20-foot wide “Irrigation Easement” for the Weaver ditch which crosses through several lots on its way to 8th Street. This particular area of the development is served by two private roads: Crown Drive and Painted Lady Lane. Crown Drive is the main access with Painted Lady Lane being a short stub off of Crow Drive that serves four lots in the far southeast corner of the development adjacent to the open space parcel.
Currently, fences at both 995 Painted Lady Lane and 973 Crown Drive cross this easement. This easement has been discussed in the past, but there is some question, based on the language used in the plat, who benefits from the easement (i.e. just the lots in the Victorians, just the lots in Roaring Fork Village, the general public, etc.)

RECOMMENDED ACTION This item is being presented for preliminary discussion. If the Commission feels that it is worth discussing further, staff recommends that agenda time at a future meeting be dedicated to this subject and that residents of the Wheel Circle neighborhood are invited to attend the meeting to provide their input.

Bike Pedestrian and Trails Commission Agenda Memorandum
Meeting Date: June 1, 2020 TITLE: Builders FirstSource Trail Review SUBMITTING DEPARTMENT: Public Works ATTACHMENTS: Site Plan, Landscape Plan BACKGROUND Builders FirstSource has submitted a proposed development plan for the parcel of land located directly north of the new City Market building (north of Nieslanik Avenue) and east of the new First Bank (west of Parker Drive). As part of this development, a trail is proposed to be constructed along the west and north sides of the parcel that will connect to SH-133 and the existing trail from Main Street up to Nieslanik Avenue on the west side of Shorty Pabst Way. DISCUSSION On May 28, 2020, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this development and recommended approval to the Board of Trustees. Prior to Board consideration (likely in late June), the Bike Pedestrian and Trails Commission should review the plans with regard to pedestrian and bike movement around the proposed development and offer any comments that they have. I have attached the site plan and landscape plan which show the sidewalks and trails around the parcel (some are existing and some are proposed to be constructed as part of the development. Comments unrelated to bike or pedestrian movements should be brought to the Board individually when they meet to consider this item in June. RECOMMENDED ACTION Review the proposed development plans and offer any comments you may have so that they can be incorporated into the plans prior to Board approval. Prepared by: Kevin Schorzman

To: The Board of Trustees From: The Bicycle Pedestrian and Trails Commission Date: Draft Draft Re: Mobility Response to Covid-19 At the June meeting, the BPTC discussed the idea of creating more space on town streets for pedestrians and cyclists to travel safely during covid-19 restrictions. It was the consensus of the commission that residents would feel safer and be more inclined to walk and bike if space (safe lanes) were created. And while our streets have been quiet the last two months, we anticipate this will change as businesses and public spaces reopen. The BPTC developed a proposal that would create safe lanes and voted unanimously to send this letter outlining the proposal to the trustees for consider-ation. For years, Carbondale has expressed interest in promoting multi-modal travel. A sys-tem of streets, labeled priority corridors, was established in order to create a connected system of roadways on which pedestrians and cyclists would feel safe. We believe this is an opportunity for the Trustees to promote our multi-modal aspirations, acknowledge the needs of those who are bikers and walkers and invite others to get outside. Proposal With a focus on our priority corridors, we would like to see pedestrian and bikes zones that allow safer north, south, east and west travel in the area defined by the Rio Grande Trail, Snowmass Drive and Highway 133. We propose temporarily converting four streets in the core to one-way traffic, with park-ing only allowed on one side. This would allow a widening of pedestrian and bike zones and provide space for people to interact safely. We believe that with proper signage and design features this can be done safely. Specifically, we recommend that: 1. Sopris Ave be converted to one-way east bound from highway 133 to Snowmass
Drive. 2. Euclid converted to one-way west from 2nd Street to highway 133. 3. 7th Street be converted to one-way north from Main St to Sopris. 4. 2nd Street be converted to one-way south between Main St and Sopris Ave.

We chose these streets and changes so that the burden of changing traffic patterns would be shared. We recognize, however, that converting all at one time would be diffi-cult logistically and may not be necessary depending on how traffic adjusts and pedes-trians and cyclists respond. Therefore, we recommend that the plan be phased. First Phase 1. Convert Sopris Ave to one-way east bound from highway 133 to Snowmass Drive.
Sopris Ave is a designated priority corridor and is used by many pedestrians and cy-clists. We believe that converting this would divert traffic out of town via Snowmass Drive, Weant and 8th, reducing impact on other streets. We also believe that with a block of Main Street switching to one-way traffic, this would prevent cars from using Sopris Ave as an alternative route.
Second Phase (If deemed necessary) 1. Convert 2nd Street one-way north between Sopris Ave and Main Street. This would
create a north/south pedestrian and bike route as well as encourage more traffic to leave town via Snowmass Drive.
2. If Euclid is experiencing a large increase in traffic, switch to one-way west bound
from 2nd Street to highway 133. 3. Convert 7th Street to one-way south from Main St. to Sopris Ave. Other Options Without eliminating two-way traffic entirely, the town could accomplish some improve-ment by eliminating parking on one side of some streets and a limited re-direction of traffic. For example, create a safe bike and pedestrian zone on Sopris Ave by eliminating park-ing on the south side of the street, allowing for the sidewalk to expand and installing a temporary bike lane. In this scenario, we would also ask that consideration be given to converting the blocks between highway133 and 8th Street and 2nd Street and Snow-mass Drive to one-way east. This would greatly increase the safety of this scenario by reducing west bound traffic and causing vehicles to exit town sooner via Snowmass, Weant and 8th.
