ASPEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION RESOLUTION
WEST ENTRANCE TO HIGHWAY 82
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City of Aspen Planning
and Zoning Commission to adopt a transportation plan which shall
be included in the 1966 Aspen Area General Plan as an amendment
thereto, and
WHEREAS, the alternative highway alignments for the west
entrance of Highway 82, prepared by Alan M. Voorhees & Associates,
Inc. have been analyzed by the Planning and Zoning Commission,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning and Zoning
Commission's findings concerning the west entrance of Highway 82
to Aspen are as follows:
1) The preferred method of relieving highway congestion
at the entrance to Aspen is by providing a transit system;
2) That the final highway entrance should not be determined
independently of an alignment for a transit system;
3) The possibility of implementing an interim bus transit
system should be investigated with the City of Aspen, Pitkin County,
Aspen Skiing Corporation, and Aspen Highlands Skiing Corporation;
4) Engineering design drawings, environmental impact
statements and field inspections will be necessary for the Planning
and Zoning Commission to resolve the alignment of the west highway
entrance;
5) That the Planning and Zoning Commission is desirous of
developing a partnership approach with the Highway Department so
that the plan for the final highway entrance can be developed as
a joint community-highway effort prior to February 21, 1973.
