The Transportation Task Force Committee met Wednesday, March 13, 1991 at 8:30 a.m. in the Avon Municipal Building, 400 Benchmark Road, Avon, Colorado, in the Council Chambers. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Jerry Davis at 8:37 a.m. , Committee Members present were: Don Welch Jerry Davis Tom Steinberg Sylvia Blunt Tom Ptach Betsy Baler Bob McIlveen Arnie Ullevig Jim Marshall Larry Brooks Willy Powell Peggy Osterfoss Bill James Absent: Bill Jennings Skip Gordon Ted Warren Cletus Burgess Patti Penwell The Committee reviewed the minutes of February 27, 1991 and were approved subject to one correction. Arnie Ullevig reviewed, with the Committee, the Annual System Statistics of the Eagle County Express, the historical background summary information, the 1989 data base, which was compiled from "Transit , Development Program 1991-1995". Also, the route comparisons and the route statistics, and the generalized transit service characteristics. The Committee discussed the Avon Transit System, its background, summary information which was compiled from schedules, monthly reports, and related sources, and its selected route statistics. (See .statistic information attached to these minutes). It was the consensus of the Committee to focus on running the bus system for 1991-1992 year in its present operation. Ptach stated that they were looking at a $2.18 system~~with_Beaver Creek at $1.3. An assumption needed to be made that Beaver Creek Resort Company, or Vail Associates, whoever, needed to continue to. pay for that inter-Beaver Creek service and to find what the true cost of the system would be, the Committee needed more information in numbers. Mr. Ullevig stated that the Committee should concentrate on next season's program as it was run at the present time. If additional buses were needed either by Avon or Beaver Creek, then so be it. It was suggested that at the next meeting the Committee dicuss the cost per capital to run the system that was in place now, then if it was appropriate, discuss adding other routes so as to arrive at a fix on a per passenger, per mile cost and what it would cost for vehicle replacements and repairs. The next meeting was scheduled for March 27, 1991 at 8:30 a.m. The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 a.m. SP CTFULLY SUBMITTED: atricia ~ ~6yle,"~own Clerk ecording Secretary APPROVED: Chairman -2- ' ~ ~ ~ f i j REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE Meeting #3, March 13, 1991 EAGLE COUNTY EXPRESS Historical Background Summary Information, 1989 Data Base Compiled from ~~Transit Development Program, 1991-1995~~, Prepared April, 1990 i I.

Imp1 ement immediately: Changes t~~ the West Vail and East Vail routes. Especially I am i n favor of the clockwise, counter-clockwise routes i n West Vail, This change may make unnecessary the need for an additional pedestrian overpass. Changes tc~ parks ng f~~r goods delivery an Fridge St, and Gore Creek Dri ve_ I think i t i s essenti aI t~-? e1 i mi Hate trucks from parking i n p1 aces where people wa1 k i n the core and tc? strictly Limit the times that trucks are in the core. I do not agree, however, ws th al l owi ng truck parking over Mi 11 Creek next to the Christiania. In the 1~~ years that I managed Gr~~ssroads I never had a problem dictating the exact times that tracks cocrld deliver to Crossroads. They wi11 grumble but they wi11 make the time schedule. Ry the way, the times should 6e when they must be ~-?ut of the c~~re, n~-?t when they can 1 ast enter the cor^e. Impl ement sh~-~rt ter^m: Add an eastbound entrance on to I-7G at Booth Creek. This wi11 make exiting from the Vail Transportation parking structur^e easier. I w~-+uI d also I i ke to see the westbound exit c~~nstructed but hopefully i n a simplified manner.
