SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A TRAIL LICENSE AGREEMENT AND A
LICENSE TO CROSS BETWEEN THE STATE OF COLORADO BY AND
THROUGH THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
AND THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A COLORADO MUNICIPAL
CORPORATION, RELATED TO THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
OF TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS TO BE INSTALLED AS PART OF CDOT'S
PROJECT TO RECONSTRUCT THE I-25/US-50B INTERCHANGE, AND
AUTHORIZING EXECUTION THEREOF BY THE MAYOR
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance approves a Trail License Agreement and License to Cross between the
State of Colorado by and through the Colorado Department of Transportation and the
City of Pueblo related to the operation and maintenance of trail improvements that will
be constructed by CDOT during their upcoming project to rebuild the Interstate 25 and
US-50 Bypass interchange.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
As part of CDOT's project to reconstruct the interchange at I-25 and US-50B, a
pedestrian and bicycle trail will be constructed by CDOT within its right-of-way to
provide safe and efficient access across the interstate, Fountain Creek, and the railroad
tracks for non-vehicular traffic. As a condition of the trail construction, CDOT requires
that the City accept maintenance responsibility for the proposed improvements. The
Parks and Recreation Department will carry out vegetation management and
associated trail maintenance responsibilities as part of its recreational trail maintenance
program.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Under the Trail Maintenance Agreement and License to Cross, the City would be
responsible for ongoing maintenance of the installed trail improvements. The City would
also be responsible for costs associated with any City-requested changes in project
scope related to the trail work and for removing said improvements should the City no
longer desire to maintain them.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
Failure to approve this Ordinance will preclude the City from entering into the Trail
Maintenance Agreement and issuance of the License to Cross from CDOT to the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. License to Cross (Final)
