Aspen Gets Us There Presentation:
Mallory Baker Schupp with Walker Consultants began her presentation and said they would be focusing
on parking today, enhancing core parking inventory, and restoring streets to angled parking. Mr.
Cunniffe likes this and said it’s responsive to the pushback people have given. Ms. Davis said it’s a
positive change. Ms. Tanaka agreed that striping will help.
Ms. Schupp spoke about safety through parking enforcement. Ms. Davis asked about bikers. Councilor
Hauenstein said he had asked for no bikes in that area, but there wasn’t enough support from the rest of
council. You have to protect yourself at all times in that area.
Ms. Davis said it’s really scary as a driver because the bikes don’t stop and just go through the
intersections.
Councilor Hauenstein said state law is that bikes can treat stop signs at a yield. Ms. Tanaka said e-bikes
have changed the game too. Councilor Hauenstein said CCLC should weigh in on e-bike regulations in
the future.
Ms. Schupp spoke about consolidating and digitizing parking permit types to better understand data and
needs.
Ms. Raj entered the meeting at 9:00 a.m.
Councilor Hauenstein asked about using hotel parking. Mr. Rice said that is not going to move the
needle although they have been talking to the hotels for a long time.
Ms. Schupp spoke about parking permit pricing and other TDM Measures. She said Jackson Hole caps
available parking permits for lodge guests and charges market rates with subsidies available to
carpoolers. A permit system would reduce demand and recover costs and encourage other modes of
travel.
Ms. Schupp spoke about app-based user communications for enhanced parking guidance for users to
reduce frustration and congestion in core areas. The board said they like this idea. She spoke about

service standards and route review. For example, Ft. Collins has adopted service standards and a metric-
based route and fare change policy.
Ms. Raj mentioned a Woody Creek bus. This is something which Bill always spoke about as well.
Ms. Schupp spoke about the Downtowner and KPI’s. The board loved a possible expansion of the
Downtowner. She said they are also looking at “hubbing” the Downtowner pick up and drop off. They
would set hubs for a two block walk max for any rider. She spoke about carshare expansion and e-cargo
bike fleets for zero emission deliveries. She concluded the presentation at 9:45 a.m. so the board could
address their next agenda item.
Block Captain Discussion:
Ms. Tanaka suggested sending an email along with the google sheet with questions such as, “how was
the season”. She said she will email the questions, and this will be our focus for the next meeting.
The board agreed they would cancel the May 1st meeting to work on the project.
Mr. Cunniffe motioned to adjourn; Ms. Raj seconded. All in favor, motion carried.
Mr. Cunniffe asked that everyone be prepared for next time and review questions and have responses
ready.
