A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF ASPEN, COLORADO,
ACKNOWLEDGING AND ENDORSING THE TRANSIT ALTERNATIVES
TO BE INctUDED WITHIN THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
STATEMENT PROCESS FOR THE ROARING FORK VALLEY
TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR INVESTMENT STUDY
Resolution # 99 - :3 \
WHEREAS, the Roaring Fork Railroad Holding Authority (hereinafter
"RFRHA") was created on December 31, 1994, through an Intergovernmental
Agreement between Pitkin County, Eagle County, Garfield County, the City of
Glenwood Springs, the City of Aspen, The Town of Carbondale, the Town of
Basalt, and the Town of Snowmass Village. The purpose of forming RFRHA was
to conduct the public purchase, management and planning of the transportation and
recreational use of the Aspen Branch oqhe Denver & Rio Grande Western
Railroad Right-of-way (hereinafter the "Property") as an asset to the people of the
Roaring Fork Valley and the State of Colorado; and
,"""""" WHEREAS, On June 26,1997, the member governments ofRFRHA
amended and restated the Intergovernmental Agreement as follows:
a. Member government participation was modified to make Garfield
County a non-voting, non-funding entity for management and planning of
the Property. However, Garfield County did retain voting status on the
approval of the Comprehensive Plan for the Property.
b. The Colorado Department of Transportation, Great Outdoors
Colorado, and the Pitkin County Open Space and Trails Board were added as
non-voting entities that did not participate in the funding of the management
and planning of the Property.
c. The underlying purpose ofRFRHA was modified to state that:
i. the purchase of the Property will satisfy the mutual, immediate
goal of the participating entities to retain the Property for the good of
the general public use;
ii. the primary use ofthe Property under the future Comprehensive
Plan will be as a public transportation corridor; and
iii. secondary uses of the Property can include recreational
opportunities and access to adjacent public lands, provided that these
r'"
o
secondary uses do not preclude the primary use as a public
transportation corridor; and
WHEREAS, an June 30, 1997, RFRHA purchased the property from
Southern Pacific Transportation Company; and
WHEREAS, as a part of the purchase of the property, RFRHA made a
commitment to carefully evaluate the feasibility of using some or all of the
property for a valleywide transit and trail system, develop a comprehensive master
plan, and determine the best use for the property. This work, which is known as
the Corridor Investment Study (CIS) began in October of 1997 and will be
concluded by July 1, 1999;
WHEREAS, at the beginning ofthe CIS process, a list of "Project
Objectives" was developed by attendees of the public scoping sessions, citizen task
forces, the CIS Policy Committee, and the RFRHA Board. These objectives,
which are listed below, ,are being used to evaluate the study alternatives:
~
Affordability and Economic Viability
Community Based Planning
Environmentally Sound
Flexibility
Increased Transportation Choices
Integrated Approach to Transportation Planning
Livability
Safety
Trails and Recreational Resource; and
WHEREAS, forty-seven (47) technology options, nineteen (19) propulsion
options, sixteen (16) station options, and five (5) alignment options were developed
through public and agency scoping meetings, citizen task force meetings and CIS
policy committee meetings. These options were put through a series of screening
processes including a "reality check" screening, and a "fatal flaw" screening. The
options remaining after these two screening process were as follows:
f"
Remaining Technology Options: No-Build (do nothing), Improved
Bus/Transportation Systems Management (TSM); Build Bus on dedicated
guideway; Build Rail on a dedicated guideway.
o
Remaining Propulsion Options: Diesel, gasoline, hydrogen internal
combustion, electric (battery), electric (overhead catenary), electric (hybrid),
liquid propane gas, and natural gas.
Remaining Potential Station Locations: West Glenwood Springs,
Glenwood Springs, South Glenwood Springs, State Highway 133,
Downtown Carbondale, Hooks Spur, Basalt High School, Emma, Willits
area, Midland Avenue (Basalt), Old Snowmass, Aspen Village, Woody
Creek, Brush Creek Road, and the Pitkin County Airport.
.r-,
Remaining Alignment Options:
Alignment "A"; Use the existing rail corridor from Glenwood Springs to a
location north of Brush Creek road where it crosses to State Highway 82 and
runs into Aspen.
Alignment "B": Use the existing rail corridor from Glenwood Springs to a
location north of Gerbazdale where it crosses over to the State Highway 82
and runs into Aspen.
Alignment "C"; Use the existing rail corridor from Glenwood Springs to an
area near Catherine Store (CR 100) and then cross over the State Highway
82. Continue to follow State Highway 82 to Wingo Junction and then return
to the rail corridor. This alignment option could use either Alignment "A" or
"B" to cross to State Highway 82 in the upper valley and continue into
Aspen.
Alignment "D": Use the existing rail corridor from Glenwood Springs to the
. area near Emma where it crosses over to State Highway 82. Continue to
follow State Highway 82 to the Wingo Junction area and then return to the
rail corridor. This alignment option could use either Alignment "A" or "B"
to cross to State Highway 82 in the upper valley and continue into Aspen.
Alignment "E"; Use the existing rail corridor from Glenwood Springs to the
Sutank river crossing near State Highway 133 before Carbondale. Continue
to follow State Highway 82 to the Wingo Junction area and then return to the
rail corridor. This alignment option could use either Alignment "A" or "B"
to cross to State Highway 82 in the upper valley and continue into Aspen;
and
r-
WHEREAS, on December 18, 1998, after several months of technical
review and study, the citizen task forces recommended to the CIS Policy
.~ Committee that the following "Build" alternative be carried forward in the study
with the "No-Build" and Improved Bus/TSM" alternative:
Build Technology: Rail
Build Alignment: Alignment "c" with a crossing at the Brush Creek area.
Build Station Locations: West Glenwood Springs, Glenwood Springs, State
Highway 133, Downtown Carbondale, Willits area, Midland Avenue, Brush
Creek Road.
Build Propulsion Options: Diesel, gasoline, hydrogen internal combustion,
electric (battery), electric (overhead catenary), electric (hybrid), liquid
propane gas, and natural gas.
The CIS Policy Committee voted to accept the citizen task force
recommendation with the condition that a decision on the crossing in the
upper valley was to be deferred until both alignments and crossing could be
visited in the field on January 6,1999. The RFRHA Board accepted and
approved the CIS Policy Committee's recommendation; and
~
WHEREAS, on January 6, 1999, the CIS Policy Committee voted to accept
the Lower Gerbazdale crossing as a part of the preferred "Build" alternative. The
Preferred Build Alternative will be vigorously compared against the "No-Build"
alternative and the "Improved Bus/TSM" alternative as a part of the continuing CIS
process. From these three alternatives a "Locally Preferred Alternative" will be
selected and adopted by RFRHA no later than July 1, 1999. A full description of
all three alternatives to be considered is attached as Exhibit "A".
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Aspen, Colorado that it hereby acknowledges and endorses the three alternatives
being carried forward as a part of the Roaring Fork Valley Transportation Corridor
Investment Study with the following comments and observations:
1. If, through the Draft Environmental Impact Statement process, it is found
that the "build alternative" on alignment "c" is too cost prohibitive or
otherwise infeasible to carry forward, RFRHA should consider including
the Build Alternative on alignment "A" within the Final Environmental
Impact Statement.
~.

2. If, through the Draft Environmental Impact Statement process, it is found
that the "build alternative" with the Gerbazdale crossing is too cost
prohibitive or otherwise infeasible to carry forward, RFRHA should
consider including the Build Alternative with a crossing north of Brush
Creek Road within the Final Environmental Impact Statement.
3. All ofthe railroad right-of-way that is not used for transit improvements
should be reserved for future transportation uses. Under the Build
Alternative, this includes the portion of the right-of-way between Woody
Creek Road and Lower Gerbazdale and the portion ofthe right-of-way
between Wingo Junction and Catherine Store Bridge.

Alternative Definitions
Revised Draft 1/19/99
The Glenwood Springs to Aspenl Pitkin County Airport CIS/DEISICP project has developed three
alternatives to be studied in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement being prepared for the study corridor.
These alternatives were developed by, and in coordination with, the Citizen Task Forces and Policy
Committee following an extensive screening process: These alternatives are defined below and are subject
to change.
I. The No.Build Alternative
This altemative assumes that only "committed" or currently approved transportation projects are constructed
in the corridor between now and the year 2020. The No-Build Alternative includes the following:
.
Existing 4 general purpose lanes from G!enwood Springs to Basalt
Construction of 2 lanes from Basalt to Buttennilk Ski Area with one southbound lane used for high
occupancy vehicles mOVs) during the A.M. peak and one northbound lane used for HOVs during
the P.M. peak hours per the East of Basalt to Buttermilk Ski Area Record of Decision (ROD)
Construction of 2 lane parkway from Buttennilk Ski Area to the intersection of 7"' Street and Main
Street in Aspen
Construction of Light Rail Transit (LRT). from Rubey Park in Aspen to the Aspen! Pitkin County
. Airport (bus transfer facility at the LRT tenninals) ill construction of a dedicated 2-1ane busway if
the LRT is not funded by the local governments per the Entrance to Aspen ROD.
Implemencation of Incremental Transportation Demand Management (TDM) in Aspen per Entrance
to Aspen ROD (see Attachment land Exhibit I)
Construction of Park-and-Ride lots - parking spaces include no more than: 3600 at airport, 750 at
Buttennilk, 450 Glenwood Springs, 500 Carbondale, 500 El lebei, 500 Basalt. 400 Brush Creek
Road per East of Basalt to Buttermilk Ski Area ROD and Encrance to Aspen ROD
Construction of a new Maroon Creek Bridge per the Entrance to Aspen ROD
Implementation of RFr A Transit Development Plan (TDP) dated 4/8/96 (see Exhibit 2 for summary)
and TDP updates
Construction of Midland A venue extension to SH 82 in Basalt, including construction of down valley
sliplane
Construction of a new bridge and alternative route over the Roaring Fork River in Glenwood Springs
(Four Mile Connection)
Placement of New Traffic Signals at Old Snowmass, Buttermilk. Elk Run (Basalt), Aspen Village,
7'h Street, 5th Street, 3'" Street, and Gannisch Street per the East of Basalt to Buttennilk Ski Area
ROD and Entrance to Aspen ROD
Improvements to various bicycle and pedestrian trails between Basalt and Aspen per the East of
Basalt to Buttennilk. Ski Area ROD and Entrance to Aspen ROD
Development of valley wide trail system
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The other two alternatives all assume the No-Build Alternative as a staning point. In other words, all of the
No-Build Alternative improvements are constructed as well as the additional improvements described in the
alternative. However, for the Rail! Build Alternative, portions of the No-Build may not be necessary. For
example, some park-and-rides may be ~nnecessary or smaller than described in the No-Build Alternative.

II. Improved Busrrransportation System Management (TSM) Alternative
This alternative includes improvements above and beyond the No-Build Alternative that enhance the utility of
existing and committed transportation improvements. The Improved BusrrSM Alternative includes:
o
Development of an optimal bus alternalive on the existing State Highway 82 alignment. This
incorporates the same headways as envisionedfor the Build alternative (see attachment 2 for description)
A cross-platfenu transfer at the LRT terminal (Aspenl Pitkin County Airport) or a direct connection to
the dedicated 2-lane busway if the LRT is net funded by the local government(s)
Constroction of Queue Bypass Lanes for buses at five signal locations to optimize bus transit in the
existing State Highway 82 alignment (C.M.C., S.H. 133, EI Iebel. Two Rivers Rd.. Brosh Ck. Road)
Development of an Access Control Plan to minimize conflicts with State Highway 82 traffic by limiting
the number of access points to State Highway 82 from local roads
Implementation of a valley"wide Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program in addition to
the Incremental TDM program identified for the upper valley under the No-Build Alternative. The
program would be administered by a government funded Transportation Management Association or
Service Provider and provide the following services:
o A carpool matching program - This would be oriented toward matching long-tenn carpoolers but
would eventually be able to match people instantly so the short-tenn carpoolers could take
advantage of the program.
o A vanpool program - It is assumed that up 10 vanpools are needed to serve the areas not served
by the improved bus system. These could serve the outlying areas of Parachute, Silt and
Gypsum. It is assumed these vanpools would be publicly subsidized (to match the user cost of
the bus system) and operated by a third party.
o A marketing/incentive program for buses, carpools and vanpools: in order to attract people to
alternative modes of transportation it is necessary to infonn them about the programs available
and to offer them some incentives to try these modes. A marketing program is especially
important in a tourist area where people are temporary workers and residents. This marketing
effort would focus on a media campaign, a web site, kiosks and transportation coordinators at
participating companies. The transportation coordinators would be responsible for infomting
new employees about their transportation options and any incentives available to them such as
an ecopass or commuter club card.
o Opportunities or information for other techniques such as flex hours, and telecommuting
Coordination of land use around transit stations oriented toward transit use
Improvements to bicycle and pedestrian trails (this includes improved connections to approximately 25
bus stops)
Development of valley wide trail system using existing trails, existing roadway shoulders, local streets,
and signage
Bus TransitlHOV Priority -transit vehicle priority at traffic signals by either bringing up the green phase
for the transit movement earlier or extending it later than the normal phase duration
Transit Management System - A transit management system that has the capability to perfonn and
integrate many transit operations functions, such as computer-aided service restoration, and service
monitoring
Real-Time, Transit Schedule Information Dissemination - Provides accurate and efficient information
to RFfA to enhance scheduling and transit planning
Automated Fare Payment Systems - A more efficient way of handling fare payments which allows
quicker boardings, more accurate accounting of origins and destinations anci gives RFfA the ability to
implement peak period pricing more easily

III. RaiV Build Alternative
This alternative optimizes the use of rail technology in the study corridor. The study corridor follows alignment
"C" between Glenwood Springs and the Aspen Airport using varying portions of the existing rail right-of-way,
the State Highway 82 right-of-way, and new connecting rights-of-way. Specifically, this alignment begins at
the West Glenwood interchange in Glenwood Springs, follows the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way
to downtown Glenwood Springs where it connects to the existingRFRHA rail corridor. It then follows
the existing rail corridor through Glenwood Springs and Carbondale to the Catherine's Store area. It
then crosses the Roaring Fork River and follows the S.H. 82 alignment through EI Jebel and Basalt.
After the Basalt station, the alignment follows the existing rail corridor through Snowmass Canyon to
the Gerbazdale area. At Gerbazdale, the alignment crosses the Roaring Fork River using the lower
Gerbazdale crossing and follows S.H. 82 to Brush Creek Road. From Brush Creek Road, the alignment
follows the S.H. 82 corridor to the Aspen Airport. The Rail! Build Alternative includes:
.
Stations along the alignment at:
. West Glewnood . EI Jebel
. Downtown Glenwood . Basalt
. S.H. 133 . Brush Creek Road
. Downtown Carbondale . Aspen Airport (part of No-Build LRT system)
Other stations may be considered at S. Glenwood and Aspen Village depending upon operating
characteristics
Construction or rehabilitation of a single track with passing areas
Impiementation of an enhanced feeder system to bring transit users to stops along the express route. The
feeder system may consist of community vans or local buses
A cross-platform timed transfer at the LRT tenninal at Brush Creek Road or direct service to downtown
Aspen using the LRT tracks
All elements identified in the No~Build Alternative except at follows:
. RFTA's TDP would not be implemented
. The number of park and ride spaces required may be reduced
. The LRT tenninal would be located at Brush Creek Road instead of the Airport
All TSM applications identified in the TSM alternative with the following. changes:
. Does not include the enhanced mainline bus system
. Transit/HOV priority treatment on S.H. 82 only where feeder buses operate
. Includes real-time information monitors at the train stations
. Includes automated fare payment system fare machines at the train stations

Attachment 2, Bus System for the Improved Bus/ TSM Alternative
The Improved busl TSM Alternative includes development of an optimal bus alternative on the existing State
Highway 82 alignment. This incorporates the same head ways as envisioned for the Build alternative. This bus
system includes:
.
Mainline express bus system running between a West Glenwood Springs Park and Ride and the
Aspen! Pitkin County Airport. This operates at the same headways as proposed for the Build
Alternative (ie: if the Build Alternative runs trains every 30 minutes, the Improved busfTSM
Alternative runs mainline buses every 30 minutes). If demand allows, this service could operate
at shorter headways (ie: if two buses are required to meet the demand for 30 minute head ways,
one bus could be operated on 15 minute headways to meet the same demand. This system will
use existing S.H. 82 except where it uses U.S. 6 to connect with West Glenwood.
Transfer between the mainline express bus system and the Light Rail Transit (LRT) system at
the Aspen! Pitkin County Airport. The LRT system runs into Aspen
Park and ride! tranSit stations for the bus service will be located at:

. Carbondale Oust north of the S.H. 133 intersection)
. EI lebel
. Basalt
. Brush Creek Road
The mainline express bus will not stop at other existing stops along S.H. 82
. Feeder bus service operates at the same headways as the mainline express bus service except as
noted. This service includes:
. Rifle to downtown Glenwood Springs. This would add 3 upvalley a.m. peak hour runs, 3
down valley p.m. peak hour runs and one mid-day round trip.
. West Glenwood Springs service. This would operate between a west Glenwood park and
ride and a downtown Glenwood transit station.
