CPWJ_09-Winter 2017_V3:CPWJ 1/25/17 10:01 AM Page 3 Editor 970. e.com Jo Taylor, Managing Editor ill 2017 really be the year that we start seeing driverless cars on the road in Colorado? Can you imagine yourself being chauffeur driven by a computer whilst sitting back relaxing and enjoying your coffee – or will you, like me, be constantly looking in the mirrors, slapping your foot down hard? Just like I am when my teenage daughter is driving me. In three states already laws have been passed to allow the testing of Wdriverless cars on public roads. However, much work needs to still to be done for every junction, sign and signal to be accurate and precise in order for the autonomous vehicle to travel the road. I will admit that after the news segment in our Fall-Winter issue about the self driving Budweiser truck, each time I see one of their trucks on the road I have to get alongside and look in the cab to see if there is a driver there. Not quite sure what I will do the day I don’t see somone driving! The roads in Britain are predicted to become even more congested as driverless cars are expected to operate more cautiously than regular vehicles, and believe me you cannot afford to be cautious when negotiating some of the roads in central London. I wonder if that will be the same here on our larger roads.... Tell us what you think, How will it affect your job, your work, your commute. We will publish your views in our next issue.

CPWJ_09-Winter 2017_V3:CPWJ 1/24/17 6:08 PM Page 6 Works News EQUIPMENT Simplify Snow Removal With the New John Deere Snow Utility V-Blade Attachments This winter, skid steers, compact track loaders or compact wheel loaders are capable of tackling even more projects on the job site with the John Deere Snow Utility V-Blades, the latest additions to the John Deere Worksite Pro attachment lineup. These attach- ments provide multifunctional versatility and are ideal for customers removing snow or performing light dirt work on the road, trail or job site. The three new models (BV6, BV8 and BV9) offer in- creased flexibility, performance and productivity. Deliv- ering four hydraulic angling positions — straight for making larger cuts, V-configuration for pushing through hard-pack, scoop (both sides inward) for easy snow stacking and 30-degree right or left posi- tioning for accurately moving snow or dirt — the John Deere Snow Utility V-Blades offer a variety of stan- dard features to properly and efficiently tackle snow or light-dirt projects on the job site. The Snow Utility V-Blades feature an electrohydraulic (EH) valve for independent blade function that opera- tors can control from the cab. A rubber cutting edge is also available for the blade to help prevent damage to decorative surfaces. Trip springs help protect the vehicle from sudden impacts with concealed obsta- cles and can be locked out for light grading and dirt work. “As many landscapers and contractors can tell you, winter weather doesn’t mean you have to close up shop,” said Gregg Zupancic, product marketing man- ager, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “Winter at- tachments, like the Snow Utility V-Blades, are great additions to make the most of your compact equip- ment investment year-round and expand your busi- ness through diversification.” Like all Worksite Pro attachments, the V-Blades are optimized to work with John Deere E-Series and 313/315 Skid Steers, E-Series Compact Track Load- ers (CTLs) and K-Series Compact Wheel Loaders. They’re also compatible with many competitive mod- els. With the universal, self-cleaning Quik-Tatch easy at- tachment system found on all John Deere skid steers and CTLs, the machine can easily add and remove the snow blade in no time. They’re also compatible with many competitive models. 6 /// Colorado Public Works Journal CPWJ_09-Winter 2017_V3:CPWJ 1/25/17 9:59 AM Page 7 Works News EQUIPMENT CAT® 910M, 914M, 918M compact wheel loaders combine enhanced performance and fuel efficiency with stringent emissions control The new Cat M-Series Compact Wheel Loaders—910M, 914M and The 910M and 914M feature an intelligent power-management systems the all-new 918M— build on the success of current K-Series models— that balances performance and fuel efficiency.

  • May 2019 Proposed Service Changes
    May 2019 Proposed Service Changes BUS Route 0 – South Broadway Running time analysis resulting in schedule adjustments. Route 1 – 1st Avenue Move east terminal from Birch/Virginia to Virginia/Cherry, immediately behind King Soopers at Leetsdale/Cherry for operator restroom and customer convenience. Route 15 – East Colfax This proposal is an effort to relieve passenger overloads east of Monaco to VA Hospital by adding selected trips between 9:00am and 1:00pm. Move short turn recovery location from Oneida/Colfax to Leyden/Colfax, for operator restroom access. Close to Walgreens, McDonalds, 7-11. Add weekday bus for recovery and on-time performance. 16/16L – West Colfax Running time analyses on weekend services. Route 33 – Platte Valley Due to low ridership performance, it proposed that this route service be discontinued. Current ridership performance stands at 10.3 passenger per hour, which falls below the Urban Local ridership standard. This proposal would impact approximately 55 weekday passengers. Alternative service to the Route 33 can be found in using combinations of Central and West Light Rail corridors, Routes 4, 9, 30 and 30Limited. Route 36L – Fort Logan Limited Running time analysis, for operator recovery and on-time performance. No cost impacts are anticipated. Route 44 – 44th Avenue Reroute eastbound buses via Larimer Street instead of Lawrence, between Broadway and Downing. This change consolidates service onto the historic transit corridor, instead of being split between two streets. Bus stop improvement along northbound Larimer are currently underway in support of this reroute. No cost impacts are anticipated. Route 51 – Sheridan Boulevard This proposal would, formalize the current 4-block route detour in Englewood, which was put into effect due to the City having converted a part of Elati Street into a one-way operation.

  • Citycenter Redevelopment Planning Progress with SKB
    STUDY SESSION TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Dan Poremba, John Voboril DEPARTMENT: Community Development DATE: May 4, 2020 SUBJECT: CityCenter Redevelopment Planning Progress with SKB DESCRIPTION: CityCenter Redevelopment Planning Progress with SKB RECOMMENDATION: This informational update to Council is provided in anticipation of a Predevelopment Agreement (PDA) between the same parties which is scheduled to be presented for Council consideration at the May 18, 2020 Regular City Council Meeting. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On February 18, 2020, City Council approved by motion the execution of an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) between the City/EEF and SKB of Portland, Oregon (also referred to as Scanlan Kemper Bard). Following a year-long, multi-step procurement process, the ENA reflected the selection of SKB as the preferred master developer partner with the City to redevelop the “City Property” at Englewood City Center. This is the property owned or controlled by the City and EEF, shown in blue on the attached site plan. The City initiated exploration of the redevelopment of the City Property in connection with the August 2018 foreclosure of the three-square block former Weingarten Realty property at CityCenter, shown in red on the attached site plan. This led to the implementation of a master developer procurement process. Council has been briefed at key points throughout the process. As previously noted, the ENA is the first of three anticipated agreements between the City/EEF and SKB, each requiring Council review and approval. SUMMARY: Council’s recent considerations regarding CityCenter redevelopment have included the following key points. • CityCenter currently presents a dated and fading image and the need for redevelopment has been documented in multiple City-sponsored planning studies, and in two recent independent studies of the Urban Land Institute.
