RECOMM ENDATION
Approval of the Ordinance
BACKGROUND
The Pueblo Downtown Association has been actively spearheading the enhancement of
Santa Fe Avenue from 4"' Street to a Street in cooperation with the City since
December 2003. Planned improvements by the Wastewater Department for the
replacement of the sanitary sewer line on Santa Fe between 4"' Street and & Street
allowed an opportunity to enhance the streetscape since the sections of curb, gutter,
sidewalk and storm inlets will need to be replaced due to the construction.
The goal of the project is to continue the streetscape improvements north on Santa Fe
Avenue from the streetscape in front of the Arts Center completed in 1994. The
streetscape portion of the pro
rct is anticipated to install sidewalk and curb neck outs at
intersections of 4"', 5"', and 6 Streets for pedestrian crossings, storm inlets, decorative
paving, landscaping, and seating areas. Santa Fe Avenue is the 1 -25 Business Loop
through the downtown and the improvements in this area will enhance the route along
Santa Fe Avenue and the entrance from the Interstate at 6"' Street.
A technical committee comprised of the City staff and the Pueblo Downtown Association
was formed to study this project. The Pueblo Downtown Association and NorthStar
Engineering funded a preliminary design and cost estimate in the amount of $16,000
and $25,000 respectively. The first phase in the amount of $556,000 will include
portions of the two blocks between 4"' and 6"' Streets where the sanitary sewer
replacement is planned. The funds from the planned construction of the sanitary sewer
replacement project and overlay have enabled the City to use the $278,000 as matching
funds to leverage $278,000 from the EIAF, Department of Local Affairs. There will be
additional funds required to continue the project in the future to 8"' Street. The EIAF
grant will allow the streetscape to be constructed in its entirety between 4' and 61h
Streets, at the same time as the sanitary sewer replacement with the concentration of
improvements at the intersections only.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
A Capital Project in the amount of $556,000 shall be established as Santa Fe Avenue
Improvements, No. PI-0503. Funds in the amount of $278,000 from the Department of
Local Affairs, EIAF No. 4726 shall be budgeted and appropriated. Local grant match in
the amount of $278,000 shall be transferred from Sanitary Sewer Replacements funds
and the 2005 HUTF Capital Project Fund.
