WQ IN PENN MEN F - � U vzv IVERSITY OF SOUTHERN COLORADO OFFICE OF FINANCE AND PLANNING February 25, 1999 Lewis Quigley, City Manager City of Pueblo P. O. Box 1427 Pueblo, CO 81002 Dear Mr. Ns • �` ipp- . •' A 1 .• 2200 Bonforte Boulevard Pueblo. Colorado 81001-4901 719 549 -2306 FAX (719) 549.2650 ti The University of Southern Colorado (USC) is vitally interested in completing the connection between Highway 47 and Walking Stick Blvd. The connection is the responsibility of the developer, but due to financial problems and legal issues bet the developer and his lender, a timely resolution does not appear possible. Thus, USC is funding the project and asking the Colorado Department of Transportation to include the connection with the remainder of their project. In particular USC would like to deed to the City of Pueblo the rights of way for (1) Walking Stick Blvd from Highway 47 to Uravan Street and for (2) Desert Flower Blvd (formerly Bartley Blvd) from Walking Stick Blvd. to Bonforte Blvd. It is my understanding that the Department of Public Works, working with NorthStar Engineering, has approved the plans for the connection. When the University improved Bartley Blvd. from Bonforte to Uravan two years ago, the project was completed with according to City of Pueblo specifications. USC needs approval from its governing board prior to providing any deeds to the City and the City wants the deeds prior to preparing a resolution. Since it is in everyone's interest to proceed with the connection, can you provide me with some assurance that if USC funds the connection that the City will accept the indicated rights of way without asking for additional concessions? This will enable me to proceed in advance of the legal work. Sincerely, ��. Step en D. Bronn Vice President for Finance and Planning �Yh. MAR 03 1999 CITY 3 � `S � z
