A regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was held on Tuesday, January 3, 1995, in the Council Chambers of the Vail Municipal Building. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. MEMBERS PRESENT: Peggy Osterfoss, Mayor I1/terv Lapin, ft/layor Pro-Tem Paul johnston Sybill Navas jim Shearer Tom Steinberg jan Strauch TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager Tom 1Vloorhead, Town Attorney . Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager, Acting on behalf of Holly M[cCutcheon, Town Clerk 'g'he first iteyn on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Kit Williams, resident in the 11th Filing of East Vail, discussed a chain station that had been added to the I-70 expanse this summer that was now having detrimental effects on the local neighborhood. Items of concern for local residents were as follows: trucks idling producing enormous amounts of carbon monoxide as well as noise pollution; trLtck drivers urinating in public view; "peeping tom" behavior infringing on privacy for these homes; the widening of the interstate and increased steepness of slope and grade coming off the interstate that adds to a dangerous situation; visual effects; decreased real estate values since this residential neighborhood is directly positioned by a truck stop; and so on. Kit indicated CDOT had posted additional signs and between State Patrol and the Vail Police Department, both agencies have been very helpful in making sure that truckers were there for no longer than it took to chain up before they start over the pass. Additional suggestions and alternatives would involve using the Edwards rest area which has both public facilities and ample parking as the chaining up station; this would further allow trucks to be chained as they go through Dowd Junction. Another suggestion was to request a toxicology report that determines the actual affect of carbon monoxide being generated by idling trucks. A real estate appraisal of the devaluation of this neighborhood was requested and a letter of support from the Vail Town Council to the Governor's office in regard to resolving these problems. Council requested Bob IVlcLaurin schedule a follow-up on this issue at next week's work session. Second on the agenda was Vail Valley 1Vlarketing Board appointments. Out of the seventeen applicants for four positions, the following members were appointed: Barbara Black and M. Ross Boyle, 4 year terms, and Dean Liotta and John Garth, 2 year terms. 'p'hird on tae agenda was a Consent Agenda which contained the foliowing items: A. Approval of the Minutes for the meeting of December 6, 1994. B.

As indicated in the memo, we have revamped the organizational structure of this eefort and combined the Steering Committee/Quality Council into a single oversight unit. This new steering committee is meeting on a monthly basis in an effort to keep this effort moving and to implement the principles of continuous improvement desired by the Council. After you have had a chance to review the memo, please let me know if you have any questions. Council Retreat As we discussed during our budget overview several weeks ago, the initial Councii invoivement in the budget preparation is a Council retreat. During this discussion we had discussed late March as the target date for conducting this retreat. In order to proceed with these plans, I need a date you all could attend. Last year we conducted this retreat at Beaver Creek in an all day Friday session. It is my intent that the format be similar this year. Once we have established the date for the retreat, I will submit for your consideration the names of several facilitators to assist in conducting this meeting. R1IV11A/aw C:\Townmgr.rpt ~ • ~ ~ v~l' A4 TOWN OF VAIL ~ 75 South Frontage Road Office of the Town Rlanager Vail, Colorado 81657 303-479-21051 FAX 479-2157 , MEMOR.ANDUM 7['Oe Department Directors &'R: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager RIE: Vail Improvement Process DT: December 27, 1994 The original organizational structure of the Vail Improvement Process consisted af a Quality Council and a Steering Team. The purpose of the Steering Team was to act as a resource for employees and action teams; the Quality Council was responsible for overseeing the comprehensive VIP effort or process of quality. Following the DIP training, the structure was modified to eliminate duplication and overlapping responsibility. This change involved merging the Steering Team and Quality Council into a single committee. This new Committee consisted of inembers from throughbut the organization. When Bob Lamberti was here several months ago, he indicated the organizational structure of our VIP effort was incorrect. Bob felt the new Steering Team should consist of Department Directors. He stated that as members of the Executive Team, they had the organizational pawer to implement the changes generated from the DIP workshops and to effect oth4r organizational change. As you may recall, a meeting was held to discuss this issUe. Many of the participants agreed with Bob's approach. However, several did not. This latt;,: group felt it important to include employees within several layers of the organization. At long Iast, after much thought and discussion, I have decided to once again modify this structure. This new structure will include a single steering team to oversee the VIP effort. This team will consist of department directors, as well as four additional TOV employees. These employees include Joe Russell, Susie Combs, Todd Scholl, and Linda 1Vloore. The department directors will serve two disrinct but closely related funcarions, as directors and as members of the VIP Steering Team. The Steering Team will meet monthly. Initially, the Steering Team meeting will be held in conjunction with the Friday Director's meeting. Since the Fundamentals Training. and Department Improvement Training were co:npleted last spring, we have attempted to move this effort forward. The VIP facilitators have developed an in-house training program and conducted a number of training sessions for ou: seasonal employees. Additionally, several of the town departments have completed many of the tasks identified in their DIP workshops. In fact, a few of, the depa.rtments are almost ready for a second DIP workshop (i.e. redipped!). , a Although we have tried to move this effort forward, I believe we have lost some of our onginal momentum. As Town Manager, I accept the respontsibility for this loss of momentum. I am responsible for the delays in implementin;; VIP because (in my view) I have not held people accountable for the implementation. For example, on September 8, 1994, I sent a memo asking the supervisors of the VIP facillitators to relieve them (the facilitators) of some of their daily responsibilities so they could focus more on the VIP program. I did not get a single response to this memo. However, I did not follow up on it either. Many of our front line employees are beginning to get cynical about VIP. I am hearing comments such as "I told you nothing would come of this!, ;and what happened to VIP?" more and more frequently. One of the purposes of this memorandum is to put each of you on notice that I am very serious about continuing the work in this area. As we discu:>sed last spring, progress with VIP will be one of the factors used in performance appraisals next June. The first meeting of the this newly formed team will be January 13, 1995. This meering will begin at 9:00 am. At this meeting most of the discussion will focus on where we are (or afe not) with VIP and where we are going with this effort. I also expect a report from each of the departments on the status of the Acrion Plans developed at the DIP workshops. This presentarion should be brief and should include a summary of all your departmental action plans and an update on the status of each of these plans. The regular Directors' Staff will occur immediately followinj; the Steering Team meeting. I sincerely appreciate your help in moving VIP forward. If I may be of assistance or if you wish to discuss the matter in more detail, please let me know. I apologize for the delay in getting this implemented. Please feel free to call me at 2105 if you wish to discuss this further. cc: VIP Facilitators IPUBLIC NOTICE ~AIL ~OW"N cCOiTNCIL MEETING SCI-iEDLTI..E (as of 1/25/95) FEBR,UARY9 1995 In an attempt to respond to scheduled meeting demands, as well as adhere to mandated ordinance and charter requirements, Council meetings are scheduled at the following times: EVENING MEETINGS Evening meetings will continue to be held on the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month, starting at 7:30 P.M.

McLaurin, Town Manager , Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Re: Vail Pass Chain-up Area Dear Bob: Thank you for your letter dated January 6, 1995 which discusses complaints from Vail citizens regarding the operation of the chain-up area on east-bound I-70 and requesteci that CDOT consider changing the location of this facility. This chain-up area consists of a widenetl. shoulder (14 feet additional width) for a length of 1200 feet. As you are aware, CDOT has installed new signing designating this as a "no parking" area, for chain installation only, with a 30-minute maximum time. We have requested the assistance of the Colorado State Patrol and the Vail Police Department (through my earlier phone conversation with you) in enforcement of the signage. CDOT maintenance personnel, although not having enforcement powers, are requesting compliance with the signage. Observations by our supervisory maintenance personnel indicate that the situation has significantly improved since the newest signs were installed. A concrete barrier similar to those used in highway medians will be installed along the shoulder of this widened area as soon as weather permits in order to reduce sight and noise pollution. CDOT considered the placement of a porta-potty at this location, but concluded from experience that this would encourage parking, and would be in effect an attractive nuisance. A chain-up area is necessary for the safe operation of east-bound traffic on Vail Pass. It provides an area for motorists to get safely away from the stream of traffic and chain-up just before encountering the steep grades and snow conditions of the pass itself. Trucks which attempt the steep grades without chains under adverse snow conditions and subsequently spin out are the major cause of highway closures. Truckers and other motorists will not install chains any considerable distance in advance of the need. Under typical bad weather conditions the need for chains is not evident until the steep grades of the pass itself are encountered; therefore the Edwards Rest Area or any location west of Vail would not be functional as is the current location. CDOT is willing to undertake reasonable measures to mitigate the impacts of the existing chain-up location, and requests the cooperation of the Town of Vail in problem solving in order to maintain a necessary safety facility for the highway users. I, too, would be happy to meet and discuss this matter in further detail. RPM:cdh Very truly yours, c: Reisbeck Smith Nall R. P. Moston file Director, Transportation Region 3 C : STA OF COLO I~~ ~ TRANSPo~~A710H C 4201 East Arkansas Avenue OT Denver, Colorado 80222 (303) 757-3011 January 30, 1995 Dear Mayor: Your municipality is included in the one of the fifteen Transportation . Planning Regions (TPRs) for the purpose of developing 20 year multi-modal transportation plans. Each TPR produced a 20 year, multi-modal transportation plan in 1993-94 which it submitted to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for integration into Colorado's 20 Year Transportation Plan. CDOT is interested in your comments on the regional transportation planning process: its strengths and weaknesses; what worked well and what didn't; data needs and requirements, etc. This feedback will allow CDOT to refine its regional process prior to the next update cycle anticipated to begin in 1997. CDOT is also interested in feedback on the current Transportation Planning Region boundaries. The attached excerpts from the statewide transportation planning Rules and Regulations provide you with information concerning two things: 1. A description of each of the fifteen Transportation Planning regions (a map is included for your information); and, 2. The schedule and process for reviewing the boundaries of the Transportation Planriing Regions. This letter serves as CDOT's notification to local governments, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and Regional Planning Commissions (RPCs) of their opportunity to consider the appropriate- ness of their respective TPR boundaries. As the attached excerpt clarifies, the review does not apply to MPO boundaries which are established through a different process. Regional Planning Process Review January 30, 1995 Page two For any boundary change, a written request must be prepared and must include the information identified in the attached Rules excerpt. CDOT strongly recommends that a consensus for the boundary change be developed among the local jurisdictions and Regional Planning Commissions both within the existing TPR and any TPR that might be affected by the change. As you are aware, such consensus has been, and will continue to be, a critical ingredient in developing effective TPRs. Please provide CDOT with any TPR boundary change requests on or before April 4, 1995. The requests should be mailed to: Mr. Harvey R. Atchison, Director Division of Transportation Development Colorado Department of Transportation 4201 E. Arkansas Avenue, Room 212 Denver, Colorado 80222 CDOT staff will summarize the comments received on the process and the boundary change requests and present the summary to the Transportation Comrnission at its May 1995 meeting. This briefing will include CDOT's , recommended schedule for reviewing process refinements and the boundary change requests providing for: 1. Adequate review and assessment of the mezits and shortcomings of the process, as.well as the effectiven.ess of the current TPR boundaries; and, 2. Adequate time for changes to intergoverrutiental agreements and Regional Planning Commission membership resulting from TPR boundary changes prior to the next update! of Regional Transportation Plans scheduled to begin i.n 1997. CDOT staif is available to assist you. Piease ca1.I either Mr. Randy Grauberger or Ms. Marilyn Beem at (303) 757-9266 i.f you would like to receive assistance.

Boundary Revision Process TPR boundaries, excluding any MPO-related boundaries, will be reviewed by ttie Commission every five years, beginning in calendar year 1995. The Department will notify counties, municipalities, MPOs, and RPCs for the TPRs of the boundary review in January of the review year, and will allow sixty days fos: boundary revision requests. All boundary revision requests shall be sent to the Division Director, Department of Transportatio:n, and shall include: - 1. A geographical description of the proposed boundary change. 2. A statement of justification for the changle considering transportation commonalities. 3. A copy of the resolution stating the concurrence of the Regional Planning Commission or other entity that i,s requesting the change or other documentation supporting the requi°st. 4. The name, title, mailing address, telephone number, and FAX number (if available) of the contact person for t}ae requesting party. If boundary revision requests are received, the Commission will initiate a rule-making proceeding under the State Administrat:ive Procedure Act. Requests received for a TPR boundary revision outs:ide of.the regularly scheduled boundary review cycle must include the rEsquirements identified above. The Department will assess all boundary reizision requests based on _ transportation commonalities and make a recommendal=ion to the Commission concerning such request. In the event that the Commission approves a change to the boundary of a TPR that has a Regional Planning Commission, the RPC in each affected TPR shall meet the requirements of section IV-B of the Rules in order to continue the planning activities for the affected TPRs.

I consider it almcsL bizarre that whatever nroblems tnere are with amplitied sound, that someone is ssriously considering proposing to ran amplified sourd altogather. Any referenc2 to honk_y-t_on;c, etc. are patent_ly absurd. It is my view tnat the scund problem - really ccnstitutes two seoarate issues. The first issue relates to volume control. ihere are very expiicit permitted leveis of sound in the munic_pal code aire_dy. If the existing decibel levels are prcperly enforced, the sound problem goes away. We do not need any additional ordinances over and above those already in place. The second issue really involves ar_ indiv_duals vision of Vsil for the future. For those who feei that the dov,rr.town commercial core is only a bedroom community and snould rerlect only those characteristics, i.e. bedroom community, are terribly shortsighted. For the Village Core to remain vibrant, active and e:citing for today and on to the future, amp?ified sound is a part of that package. If a town goes in the othe'r direction, our today's younger customers who will become our ideal target customer in 15-20 years will go someplace else. In closing, try and imagine apres ski at Vendetta's, Los Amigos or the Hong Kong on a spring aftern'Don without music. It doesn't work, the customers would miss it and whatever we do . that detracts from our customer experience will ultimately be ' - ' bad for Vail in thP long run.

We have invested, and reinvestE;d, in our site upgrading the appearance and attractiveness of our business. Despite this investment, there continues to be a number of activities which adversely affect out business: 1. Junk cars along the public right of way on Frontage Road directly in front of Wendy's 2. Flower/Tree sales stand in a Quonset hut which groNvs each year 3. Destruction of our landscaping by cars parking off the raad surface along Frontage Road We expect the Town of Vail to provide Wendy's the same kind of diligent protection from such unsightly activities afforded other businesses. The "No Parking" signs installed by the Town ha.ve been plowed down and not replaced. Doing business in West Vail has been difficult enough without these influences. By allowing these unsightly and illegal activities to go on unabated, the business cl(imate and the physical environment in West Vail deteriorates even further. Specifically, we are asking that our neighbors, and those using t:he area along Frontage Road, be held to the same scrutiny that Wendy's has experienced.

Teresa Kay Albertson Post Office Box 664 Avon, CO 82620 • Re: TCI Cablevision Dear Teresa: I have been asked to respond to your correspondence of January 17, 1995 concerning the iack of availability of United Paramount Network on TCI. As you may be aware, the Town has in fact recently signed a 15 year franchise agreement with TCI. However, pursuant to this or any other franchise agreement, as grantor the Town of Vail hzs no right to control the stations made available to local viewers or the content of programming provided by the franchisee. While our agreement with TCI grants them a franchise it is not exclusive. Any company that desired to come into the Town of Vail and compete with TCI has the right to apply for a franchise. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me. Very truly yours, TOWN VAIL R.

BROVd1V 1055 Cottonwood Pass Road, Box 420 7 ` Gypsum, CO. 81637 ~.3if5 Tom Steinberg `Iail Town Council Vail, Colorado 81657 January 29, 1995 Dear Tom: I see from an article in the Vail Daily that you are in favor of the Town of Vail subsidizing summer flights into the Eagle airport. As one early resident to another I would like to address the growth in Vail and the Eagle River Valley in general, and the airport in particular. I'm sure you remember, as I do, when Vail was a small resort that fit into it's surroundings and offered one of the highest quality recreational experiences in America. I'm sure that you have seen, as I have, some things happen that are not consistent with that image or in the best long run interests of Eagle County and the Vail resort. To me the Vail- Eagle River Valley area is looking very much like a middle aged over weight man trying to get into a suit that is three sizes too sma11. Buttons are popping. We have frequent smog and traffic congestion in dail itself. The quad lifts are moving more people and creating more accidents on the often overcrowded slopes. I'm sure every trout in Gore Creek and the Eagle River has been hooked at least a dozen times. Our pastoral landscape is now largely a collection of trophy homes and non discript condos. We are dispensing recrearional experiences like hot dogs and hamburgers, all because no one has had the courage to address what is optimum and what is maximum use of this area, and then do something about it. You have to live near the airport to appreciate it. As you know I have spent thousands of hours fiying all over the world in everything from the largest jets to the smallest • helicopters, but I have never experienced anything like these giant 757's trying to squeeze into this little valley. And the noise from the 727's and some of the private jets literally shakes my home. It makes the area uninhabitable on heavy traffic days. I have talked to people in both Eagle and Gypsum who have far closer to the noise than I am and it's worse for them. Tim Garton is putting in 500 units and golf course right at the VVest end of the strip. What's it going to be like for people who move in there? I am waiting unhappily for the day when one of the commercial planes doesn't make it. I have seen them creep low over the schools in Gypsum, and then skim Red Hill, maxed out to get enough lift Only George Gillett, with his vast if temporary empire, could have dreamed up such a project and then pulled it off. And of course it was a financial disaster. And now, because it's there, everybody thinks they have to make it work at any cost. In an effort to understand these large commercial flights I flew on United Airlines a few days ago, from Eagle to Denver to Sacramento and back the; same way. Between landing and taking off and the time it takes to drive from Eagle to Vail I calculated that, under perfect circumstances with tight connecting flights, it takes about the same amount of tune to fly as to drive. Denver to Vail driving 2 hours Minimum scheduled time between connecting flights 40 minutes Denver to Eagle flying 20 minutes , Deplaning, retreving luggage, finding a van, and driving to Vail 1 hour Total 2 hows Most people don't have perfect connections, so generally i1: takes longer to fly than to drive. The drive is cheaper, safer, and more reliable. In 33 years of living here, and with a business that required a trip to Denver at least once a week for many years, I can remember being held up less than a dozen times on the pass;es because of weather. I am really skeptical about claims that the flights to Vail, pzTticulazly in the summer, are going to substantially.increase business. It may be easy to f:igure out gross sales to people who do fly in. It is far less easy to figure out if those same people would have driven from Denver if flights weren't available to Vail. My guess is most would. Vail, with all of it's heated often unoccupied condos, is alre:ady one of the most wasteful places in the Nation when it comes to fossil fuel. Subsidizirig half empty flights only adds to that waste. I invite you and the rest of the Vail Town council to an outcioor barbecue at my place on Easter weekend so you can see and hear what I am talking about. Stsffing the airport with subsidized flights, like we have stiiffed every inch of our open ranch land with buildings, is not the answer to Vail's future:. Sincerely, ~ ~l. G i~/•r'~~ R C.

The Council will be discussing this matter in the near future and will be trying to determine how best to proceed to have a performing arts center in place before the 1999 World Ski Championships. I will keep you advised of our work in this area. On behalf of the Vail Town Council and our entire community, I want to thank you for your generous ' donations to the Vail Public Library and for all of your civic efforts.

Children's Librarian LBBRARV BENEFAC-OR ~EAnryS VVITH CFiILDREIV°S THEATRE SCFi00L Tp PRODUCE SUMMER THEATRE PERFORNIANCE (Vail)--The Summer Reading Program at Vail's Public Library will take on an added dimension this year when participants celebrate the program's success with a local children's theatre performance at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. Children's Librarian Annie Murray said the August event, which will include recognition of the 100- plus summer reading participants, is supported by a grant from a local benefactor. iViurray said the benefactor, Mrs. Cortlandt Hill of Vail, has been a supporter of children's services at the library for numerous years. "Her generosity in the past has enabled us to create enriching children's programs, purchase exquisite furniture and improve our youth services technology," said Murray. "This time, she's helping us to mix literature and the arts for the enjoyment and participation by local children." The grant will be used to offer a special theatre pertormance produced by Gretta Assaly, director of Children's Theatre School, Inc. The school, based in Milwaukee, Wis., has worked with young actors in Vail for the past four summers. Murray said the 1995 summer workshop series will be highlighted in August with a mafinee performance at the Ford Amphitheater in partnership with the finale of the Summer (more) Summer Theater/Add 1 Reading Program. Library Director Annie Fox said donations from local gr(Dups and individuals are important in maintaining the library's special programs. "'We're so grateful the private sector has stepped in to create a partnership with the libr;ary to provide the kinds of programs our patrons have come to expect," she said. Each year, about $20,000 is raised in private donations to help augment the library's $450,000 budget, which comes from the town's general fund. The library served more thEin 130,000 people in 1994. The 1995 Vail Library Summer Reading Program, for cfiildren ages 5 to 11, is designed to foster lifelong learning, self-esteem and other valuable skills, according to Murray. Last year, 130 children participated- in the free pro~gram. Registration for the 1995 theatre workshop series and the Summer Reading Prograrri will be held in May.

Should displays be limited to key holiday weekends and special events? How do outdoor displays impact sales? Background: ~l In November 1994, the Vail Town Council suggested creation of an ordinance limiting the outdoor display of goods to a specified number of holiday weekends and special events. The suggestion was made after Council members expressed concern about continued use of cardboard boxes, handmade signs and other unsightly display techniques. ~l On December 19, the Council's suggestion for display limitations was considered by the Planning and Environmental Commission. By a vote of 5 to 1, the PEC opposed the suggestion for limited display days and instead recommended adoption of display guidelines to be used year-round. On January 17, the Council asked to arrange a community meeting to discuss the issue. .f l~ ~ 1 L ,yu TOWN OF VAILg For more information, contact TOV Community Information at 479-2115. ~ Town off !lau9 Sales Yax Estima@iow diloPlkshee4 a/ai~~ ~ Chanae ~ Change 1994 ffom /ipm MOB1$h 1989 1884 1985 1986 1887 1988 1889 1990 1991 9982 1993 Budget Estlmate Var(ance 1993 Budpet _......,..t,:....,._. s,~::.;:..,......,..,,,n _.a . ..3....~ r.w........ ~ : ~....x. ~ ~ ..c.~~.:::.:. .....~aiF:a!::::.

LETTERS TOV needs to improve bus service ti) golf course area To the Editor: (This letter was addmssed to Mr: Robert McLauuin, Vail Town Manager.) As homeowners in tYie Vail golf course area, we are writing you about our dissatisfaction with the bus service to the golf course. In the last year the peak service interval to the lifts has not only increased from 20 to 30 minutes, but also, now the peak service period is much shorter in tbat there are only two extra buses in the morning and in the evening. Prior to purchasing ciur home, over eig6teen months ago, one of our main _ concems was ttie transpDrtation from the golf coutse to and from the ski areas. Not wanting to add to dhe automobile congestion in the village, we knew the bus transportation to and from the ski atea would be an important factor in our decision to buy out of the village. We checked out the bus schedules, even rode the buses several times, and at that time we felt they would worlc out just fine. Not so now! ~ In riding the buses diuing the last few wceks, we find they are not only very crowded but too infrequent during peak hours. Our neighbors and other visit- ing skiing guests also have been expressing their disappointment with the bus service's lack of frequency during the peak hours. It is affecting our rental t clients too. We don't want to resort to driving to the lifts becaiise of the lack > of pazking there, and it is not practical to walk the slopes as we used to when I we owned and stayed un the Gold Peak area. _ We have heard aboeit the difficulty of hiring enough.drivers. Although that may appear to be a legiitimate excuse to some, it is still just an eiLcuse. Perhaps . those responsible for th.e town transportation have to be a little more imagina- tive and/or creative in attracting more drivers; better pay; incentives with VA for fringe benefits such as ski passes, bonuses, etc whatever it takes to get the job done. If money is part of ihe problem, as it is in many cases these days, perhaps, instead of spending several million dollars on the coniroversial mundabout at the main crossroad - that may cost even more than that to remove when it is found that it dcesn't work - some of that money should be spent on more bus drivers. And, as for the roundabout itself, my personal experience is that the . human traffic directors used during peak hours over the last couple of years have done a fine job; ce:rtainly better ttian a txaffic light, and I believe do a much better job of dealing with the peak hour traffic than a roundabout New Jersey gave up on their mamy "traffic circles" because of the congestion caused at peak use period. They also were unable to educate the drivers how the system was supposed to wor}: and who had the right-of-way, etc., aad I doubt that TOV, even with the best signage, will be able to educate the many foreign and out of town drivers how the mundabout at Vail should work. • ' We sincerely hope that something can be done about the bus station before spring break in March., such as adding at least two more buses to the peak hour schedule. If the 4:15 bus at Golden Peak was jammed in January, I shudder to think what it will be lilce in March! Certainly, people who live in homes on the golf course deserve bE;tter service. , Sincerely yours, qC Norman P. Robinson W Susanne S. Robinson • t~-' "'T t b v- Vail 1153 fl61"PL5 iIU+(,r C tv'tl.t,.
