PROPOSAL
TO
EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
FOR
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
Continuing development along State Highway 6 in Eagle County, Colorado places
increased pressure on the existing transportation infrastructure. In an effort to ensure
safe and efficient travel within this area, the EDWARDS AREA ACCESS CONTROL
PLAN, Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, 1997, was developed. This Access Control Plan formed
the basis for an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Eagle County and the
State of Colorado.
To assist Eagle County in continuing transportation planning efforts, the following scope
of work is proposed to update and expand our previous efforts to incorporate the section
of State Highway 6 between Squaw Creek Road (Milepost 163.40) near Edwards and
State Highway 24 at Dowd (Milepost 174.54). Previous efforts on 1 -70G, the Edwards
Spur Road, will also be updated. This work will be performed concurrently and in
conjunction with the US 6 Corridor Feasibility Study to be conducted by PBS & J for the
Colorado Department of Transportation.
WORK PROGRAM
1. Project Initiation- During this initial task, the chain of communication between all
participants will be established. Additionally, all work tasks, public participation
process, technical approaches, and work products will be discussed and any
necessary revisions will be made to the final work plan.
2. Data Collection- Compile existing count data to be provided by Eagle County and
CDOT. Conduct daily traffic counts along roadway segments and AM /PM peak hour
counts at major intersections along the entire corridor, as needed. Coordinate with
PBS & J to conduct a field inventory of current roadway conditions. Compile updated
future land use data and obtain available GIS data and aerial mapping of the corridor
from Eagle County. Obtain current traffic accident data and existing access permits
from CDOT.
3. Travel Demand Estimation- Update and refine, as directed, the traffic volume
projections contained in the 1 -70 Mountain Corridor PETS traffic forecast model to
reflect future conditions at the accesses and intersections along the study corridor.
This effort will utilize the future land use data, development plans, and previous
traffic studies and transportation planning efforts within the study area. Traffic
volumes for both summer and winter conditions will be developed.
4. Capacity Analysis and Improvements Evaluation- Conduct roadway and intersection
capacity analyses for both existing and projected future conditions. This effort will be
divided between PBS &J and FHU, with FHU performing the analyses for the western
(Edwards area) segment and PBS &J performing the analyses for the eastern
corridor segment. Using CDOT safety assessment methodology, conduct an analysis
of the accident data to identify accident trends, high hazard locations, and potential
EXHIBIT "A"
mitigation measures. Coordinate with PBS & J to develop improvement alternatives
and conceptual roadway cross - sections to maintain acceptable traffic operational
levels. Evaluate access locations and needs relative to the updated current and
projected conditions. Prepare preliminary opinions of probable cost for the
improvement alternatives. Develop an improvements prioritization schedule based
on critical needs, ease of implementation, and costs. These efforts will make use of
previous findings contained in the Access Control Plan and recent traffic engineering
studies. Specific issues to be evaluated include:
• Future traffic signal locations and /or potential roundabout locations.
• Potential for a Frontage Road along 1 -70 to alleviate traffic on SH 6 in the
Edwards Area.
• Potential for an additional Interchange or partial Interchange on 1 -70, based
on FHWA and CDOT policy.
• Potential pedestrian, bicycle, and equestrian improvements.
5. Traffic Calming Element- Develop traffic calming alternatives and recommend
policies for use on non - arterial roadways in the Edwards Area.
6. Public Process- Interaction with area residents, businesses, and key metro districts
is seen as an important component of this project. Coordinate with PBS &J to conduct
public scoping meetings during the developmental phase of the project to elicit public
input and present alternatives. Participate in up to 12 outreach meetings with elected
officials and special interest groups. A technical committee, consisting of key
decision making entities, will be established; participation in up to 5 technical
committee meetings is included in this scope of work. In addition, two public hearings
to present the recommended plan is included.
7. Documentation- Prepare documentation summarizing the data collected, the
analyses conducted, and the resultant findings and recommendations. This
documentation will consist of two separate access control plan reports: one for the
Edwards area, and one for the remaining segment of SH 6. Documentation will be
coordinated with PBSU for incorporation into the Corridor Feasibility Study.
