Absent were Kiki Raj and Amanda Tanaka Staff present: Emmy Garrigus, Downtown Services Nicole Henning, City Clerk Other attendees: Alycin Bektesh, ACRA Presentation: Main Street Asphalt Repair Briefing – Jack Dannenberg, Engineering & Pete Rice, Parking Mr. Dannenberg spoke about the work on Main Street and the paving, striping, and fixing of potholes. They are working with CDOT on this project. CDOT is lacking manpower and dollars, so we are stepping forward to help with this. It has been a little bit last minute because of feedback received. They will be paving piecemeal sections of the highway, and 82 is heavily used so our roadway deteriorates at a high rate that requires a lot of maintenance. The s curves will be closed. That will take three days and then we will start working down Main Street and it will be a rolling work zone with two lanes closed. Ms. Wang entered the meeting. Mr. Dannenberg explained the detour as the work progresses. They are encouraging people to bike to work during this time. Mr. Rice said the 11th, 12th, and 13th will be the worst days for people coming into town. Mr. Dannenberg said the work hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Mr. Dinsmoor asked how the city engages CDOT and Mr. Rice said it’s a constant exchange. It’s a continual process of trying to create more of a priority on their list. Mr. Cunniffe and Ms. Davis asked about installing another bridge and Mr. Rice spoke to that. There are a lot of inaccurate narratives out there right now. He said council isn’t currently in favor of the preferred alternative. Ms. Kiss-Baldwin asked Mr. Dannenberg to draw what the preferred alternative looks like. The board continued to talk about the entrance to Aspen. Mr. Rice offered to come back in a month and talk entrance and transit. Mr. Rice said police will help with outbound traffic during the project. Ms. Bektesh asked about incentives for riding buses during this time, etc. Mr. Rice said it’s an option and they will let businesses know. Mr. Dannenberg said the best place to get information is on the website. They exited the meeting at 9:36 am. Mr. Ball made recommendation for meeting on the 27th for a special meeting after the project is done and said the next agenda item is the planning and goals items. The board agreed to meeting on the 27th. REGULAR MEETING COMMERCIAL CORE & LODGING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 2 Ms. Wang motioned to adjourn; Charles seconded.
