Coal Creek Drive, Superior, Colorado.

Absent: Trustee Elia Gourgouris. Calling of the Roll REPORTS, QUESTIONS AND ISSUES Trustee Pennington said at the Open Space Advisory Committee (OSAC) meeting last week they went over the five (5) year trail plan as well as the Boulder County Open Space and Trail Plan. There is some disagreement with PROSTAC’s (Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails Advisory Committee) recommendation so they would like to have several members meet with PROSTAC members and hopefully create a consensus suggestion to the Board. She likes that idea but said she would bring this up to the Board and see if that would be okay or would the Board want to see OSAC’s and PROSTAC’s plans and have the Board do the meditation. Trustee Dozal said as a point of order – the approval of the agenda was not done. Mayor and Board Members APPROVAL OF AGENDA Trustee Dozal requested Consent Agenda Item #7C (Adoption of a Resolution approving an Agreement with Felsburg Holt Ullevig for Design Services for the McCaslin Bus Rapid Transit Station to Coal Creek Trail Project) be discussed after the Approval of the Consent Agenda. Trustee Dozal moved to approve the Agenda with that change. Seconded by Trustee Cirelli. Ayes – 6 (Cirelli, Dozal, Folsom, Hanson, Pennington, Williams). Absent – 1 (Gourgouris). Motion carried Approval of Agenda CONTINUATION OF THE REPORTS, QUESTIONS AND ISSUES Mayor Folsom said getting back to Trustee Pennington’s, he suggested not having a decision but could be revisited at a later time. Trustee Pennington said there will be a Jeff and Paige Concert on Friday from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., which last year drew 200 plus people to Founders Park; she also thanked Sherin Tedeschi who resigned from OSAC as well as all the committee members who are not renewing their terms. She asked about the rental fee for Purple Park for the Disc Golf and wanted to know what the fee is. Patrick Hammer, Director of Parks, Recreation and Open Space, said there are several different fees for the park based on which area is used – everything from $10 for the volleyball court all the way up to $25 an hour to rent the pavilion area. It was decided to settle at $1,000 for the time they would be on the field. Mayor Pro-tem Williams went to the National Trails Day; went to the Boulder County Consortium of Cities meeting about a month ago; went to US 36 Photo Op for the Grand Opening; normally she would have a July 3rd First Friday but that will be cancelled. Trustee Hanson attended a PROSTAC meeting last Wednesday and they took a field trip to the Davidson Mesa underpass to see where a good spot would be if the Town would endorse some sort of crosswalk. He thought PROSTAC would be making a recommendation to the Board for that crossing; he recognized the Monarch Rugby Team for a couple of awards. Trustee Cirelli attended a Recycling and Conservation Advisory Committee (RCAC) meeting on June 11th and they will come up with a budget recommendation but they are having trouble getting a quorum at their meetings; attended a Historical Commission meeting on June 19th and they talked about their plans for July 4th and the old fire truck; on that same day they will have the Museum opened; they have postponed a proposed clean-up of Asti Park; he attended the County Commissioners dinner, along with other Board members; he will be gone from June 28th to July 20th and will need someone to cover the RCAC meeting on July 9th at 5:30 p.m. and someone to cover the Historical Commission meeting on July 17th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. Trustee Pennington might be able to cover the RCAC and Trustee Dozal said she could cover the Historical Commission meeting. Trustee Dozal said the Board attended the dinner meeting with Boulder County Commissioners; had coffee with Dennis Harwood, a council member from Broomfield and he would like to have on-going dialogue with the Town – like what is done with the City of Louisville; went over every day and watched the Rocky Mountain Women’s Disc Golf championship course that was put into place; she would like to see along Rock Creek Parkway some more semi-permanent holes put back up as that part of Purple Park rarely gets used; attended the US 36 Express Lanes ribbon cutting today. Mayor Folsom attended the Boulder County Commissioners dinner on June 15th; from July 16th through the 19th attended the Colorado Municipal League conference in Breckenridge along with the Town Manager and gave a summary of some of the conferences he attended; attended the Disc Golf Tournament and would like to see that be an annual event; attended the US 36 Phase I Grand Opening in Broomfield today; Phase II – from 88th Street to Boulder – will be done by the end of the year; McCaslin Blvd Diverging Diamond Interchange will be done by Thanksgiving; the Grand Opening of the bikeway on Phase I is Wednesday, June 24th; RTD (Regional Transportation District) is unveiling the Flatiron Flyer Bus on June 30th and he has been asked to be a speaker at that event. Trustee Hanson said the Board received an email from a resident in Rock Creek asking about the earth moving equipment and is it possible to move those off the hill to a lower elevation. Mr. Magley said that could be talked about during the Town Center Update. Mayor and Board Members Town Attorney Kendra Carberry also attended the CML conference and found there are some changes that will need to be made the Superior Municipal Code in various areas and she will send those along gradually; because she was at CML she did not have time to send the Board a memo about the agenda and wanted to let the Board know she did approve at least the form of #C on the Consent Agenda. Attorney MISCELLANEOUS Mayor Folsom went through upcoming events: A Jeff and Paige Concert on Friday No meeting on July 13th The Pancake and Parade on July 4th July 22nd is story time at Community Park and that is the date he will be reading Fairy Tales and Magic PUBLIC COMMENT ON CONSENT AGENDA AND NON-AGENDA ITEMS Jack Adams, Chairperson of the Superior Youth Leadership Council and Rachel Williams, Co-Chair, wanted to present to the Board three changes in their council policies – one is the attendance policy and to consider that if a person misses two consecutive meetings or four (4) total that the SYLC vote to remove them from the Council.

    2019 FACT SHEETS Regional Transportation District On the Cover: The first on-road deployment of an autonomous vehicle (AV) made its debut as RTD’s Route 61AV at the end of January 2019. The self- driving EasyMile shuttle is 100 percent electric and will connect passengers from the 61st & Pena Station along the University of Colorado A Line to the Panasonic and EasyMile offices. The shuttle can carry up to 12 passengers and will run Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., making a loop to four stops every 15 minutes at an average speed of 12 – 15 miles per hour. The goal of the project is to determine whether the autonomous vehicle could serve as a possible future first and last mile solution for transit riders. Route 61AV is a pilot project that was approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the newly formed Colorado Autonomous Vehicle Task Force.

  • Overview/History of Rtd Fare Structure and Pass Programs and Planned System Wide Fare Study and Equity Analysis
    OVERVIEW/HISTORY OF RTD FARE STRUCTURE AND PASS PROGRAMS AND PLANNED SYSTEM WIDE FARE STUDY AND EQUITY ANALYSIS This white paper provides background and history on RTD’s current fare structure and pass programs since 2000, as well as a planned path forward for evaluating future changes to RTD fares. This paper is divided into four sections: 1. History of RTD Fare Boundaries Structure Pre- and Post-FasTracks (2000—present) 2. RTD Pass Program Study (2017—2018) 3. RTD Fare and Fare Related Developments since 2019 4. Overview of Planned System Wide Fare Study and Equity Analysis 1. History of RTD Fare Boundaries Structure Pre- and Post-FasTracks (2000— present) Fare Structure Pre-FasTracks (20002—2013) Prior to the opening of the Southwest Corridor in 2000, distance-based fares only applied to buses. Local, Express, and Regional fares applied to buses depending on the type of service and the distance traveled. The original light rail line, between I-25/Broadway and 30th/Downing Stations was a short enough distance that only a local fare applied. When the Southwest Corridor opened, many trips that were previously made by an Express bus were then made by light rail and it was determined that those trips should pay the higher Express fare. The solution to this was a fare boundary at Hampden Avenue. Any trip crossing Hampden Avenue, between Oxford-City of Sheridan Station and Englewood Station, would be charged an Express fare. This made trips from Littleton-Mineral, Littleton-Downtown, and Oxford-City of Sheridan Stations to Downtown Denver an Express fare, as they had previously been on Express buses.
