PARK + MIDLAND OUTREACH UPDATE: 10/15/20

During the October 6 engineering budget discussion, City staff connected with Council on next steps for Park + Midland. City Council approved funds to implement safety improvements in this neighborhood which will be further discussed in a council work session this winter – stay tuned for details. Meanwhile, the project team is using updated data from the traffic study to move forward with a couple immediate modifications.

City engineering will soon be installing stop signs on Park Ave. at the intersection of Park and Hopkins. Additionally, City Engineering plans to place a temporary, driver feedback device to measure real-time speeds and alert motorists heading north on Park Ave. This device will be placed between Hwy 82 and Hopkins Ave. in relation to the traffic study’s findings. City Engineering will assess the impact of both the stop signs and driver feedback signs, and we also encourage neighbors to share any insights on the project webpage.

VIRTUAL NEIGHBORHOOD HUDDLE

Thank you to those who have RSVP’d for the virtual Neighborhood Huddle on Wednesday, October 28 at 11:30 a.m. A calendar invitation with call-in information will be sent shortly.

The focus of this meeting will be to review the findings of the traffic study and to touch base on next steps. This meeting will be recorded for those who are unable to attend.

COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY

For reference, the project team has assembled an overarching infographic to summarize community input we have received to date. This brief graphic pulls out general themes and ideas we have received through our neighbor interviews, phone calls, emails, and Aspen Community Voice to date. There are a lot of nuances to the feedback we’ve received, but we wanted to report back on some common themes.
