A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING ACTION TAKEN BY THE
PUEBLO AREA COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS APPROVING
THE PUEBLO INDUSTRIAL PARK ACCESS ALTERNATIVES
STUDY WITH EMPHASIS ON THE EXTENSION OF
WILLIAM WHITE BOULEVARD TO CONSTITUTION ROAD
AND OBJECTING TO THE EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL
AID PRIMARY HIGHWAY FUNDS FOR THE 36TH LANE
ALTERNATIVE
WHEREAS, the Pueblo Area Council Of Governments on September_
8, 1988 approved the Pueblo Airport Industrial Park Access
Alternatives Study (the "Study ") with emphasis on the extension of
William White Boulevard to Constitution Road (the "Alternative
V "), and
WHEREAS, the Transportation Policy Committee on September_ 8,
1988 approved the Study with emphasis on Alternative V, and
WHEREAS, the Citizens' Transportation Advisory Committee,
consisting of the members of both the County Planning Commission
and the City Planning and Zoning Commission, on August 10, 1988
approved the Study with emphasis on Alternative V, and
WHEREAS, the approved Study states in part on page 64
thereof:
The two best courses of action appear to be the
construction of improvements to the Paul Harvey interchange
followed by the community concentrating its entire effort
toward the extension of William White Boulevard. If at the
time when a second access is needed and the right -of -way or
funding for the William White extension is not available, the
36th Lane Alternative can address a short -term need.
(emphasis supplied), and
WHEREAS, current traffic use, trip generating rates, and the
Study show that the 36th Lane Alternative will result in minimal
impact upon traffic congestion and "will not alleviate the need
for the extension of William White Boulevard ", and
WHEREAS, the expenditure of federal aid primary highway funds
for the 36th Lane Alternative instead of or in competition with
the extension of William White Boulevard does not appear to be
justified; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PUEBLO, that:
- --r -., ,
The City Council of Pueblo does hereby affirm and ratify the
Pueblo Area Council of Governments' approval of the Pueblo Airport
Industrial Park Access Alternatives Study with emphasis on the
extension of William White Boulevard to Constitution Road,
Alternative V of the Study and does hereby determine that such
extension should have priority over all other_ alternatives for
access to the Pueblo Airport Industrial Park.
- - --r--,
The City Council of Pueblo does hereby object to the expendi-
ture of federal aid primary highway funds for the 36th Lane Alter-
native, Alternative II of the Study, if such expenditure shall in
any manner reduce, limit or interfere, now or in the future, with
the opportunity or ability to obtain federal aid primary highway
funds for the William White Boulevard to Constitution Road
Extension Project, including without limitation, the four - laning
of State Highway 47 from Jerry Murphy Road to U.S. Highway 50 -B
with an interchange at William White Boulevard extended.
