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.
