Management Team We
have engaged Grimshaw and Harring of Denver to explore a Special District for
the property and THK of Denver to research the marketplace and report on the
strength of various markets such as housing, office, retail and others. We have
also engaged Martin and Martin civil engineers to estimate the cost of which
ever road alignment the property owners choose. Ground Engineers has completed
23 test holes and the report will be filed under the SITE button soon.

ROAD ALTERNATIVES These concepts are limited to the internal project site.
Access points into the surrounding neighborhood will be considered later.

Loop Plan - Trade offs. The boundary loop is a 2-lane road with 60 foot Right-of-Way. It is the closest thing to the existing road network in the neighborhood plan. Its traffic carrying capacity is one lane per direction with a 2-mile circumference providing 15,000 vehicles per day. There is a median for turning lanes. It has more potential connections to the outside. It mainly serves properties on the inside of the loop. Local streets inside the loop are not shown. |
This section shows one lane each way with a turning median. Only the inside of the loop will have a sidewalk. The outside of the loop will be a flood channel (on the west) or grass on east.
PARKWAY PLAN Trade offs
The Spine Road is 4-Lane Divided Parkway with Cul-de-Sacs. Its traffic carrying capacity is two lanes per direction with a 1.25-mile length providing 35,000 vehicles per day. It has fewer potential connections to the outside. These are located at Timberline, International Blvd, Buckingham or Lincoln and 2 on Airpark Drive. The remainder of the local cross roads will be Cul-de-Sacs. It is more efficient by serving sites on both sides and there is less road length to build. Traffic is concentrated on a single corridor, which serves retail better.
The section shows the width of each element in the parkway.
