PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None, BACKGROUND: In 2023, School District 60 and Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority partnered to complete extensive renovations for Dutch Clark Stadium to promote safety and accessibility. The project included repaving the parking lot, adding a new sidewalk adjacent to Abriendo Avenue, landscaping in the Abriendo Avenue right-of-way, and constructing a new Electronic Variable Message (EVM) sign to promote high school football games and other District 60 events. Prior to the construction of the right-of-way improvements within the Abriendo Avenue right-of-way, plans for the landscaping, sidewalk, and EVM sign were not submitted to the City for review and approval. Following construction of the sign in the Abriendo Avenue right-of-way, Pueblo Urban Renewal submitted an application requesting to vacate a 200 square foot portion of the Abriendo Avenue to accommodate the EVM sign. The sign is located southwest of the Dutch Clark statue, just outside of the Dutch Clark Stadium property line and the new meandering sidewalk, which was constructed as part of the renovation efforts. No comments were received from the City's Public Transportation Department expressing concerns over the 200 square foot right-of- way vacation.
