City Council Meeting Minutes May 15, 2012 Page 10 of 11 Council member Jasiak requested clarification on the joint funding of the project. She stated at the study session it was reported the Town of Superior would be managing the project and the City of Louisville would reimburse them one-half the cost of the project. Planning Director Russ stated he was not at the study session when it was discussed, but thought there might have been a discussion relative to the cost of the study versus the cost of the project. He noted the intent is to be equally shared. The City will manage the shared project. Mayor Pro Tem Dalton stated the interchange has a lot of history between Superior and Louisville. The City and the Town of Superior are in agreement. He commended Planning Director Russ for his work on this project and voiced his support for moving forward. PUBLIC COMMENT John S. Nahodyl, 2333 Dogwood Circle, Louisville, CO stated at first the Divergent Diamond Interchange looked confusing to him, but the explanation provided clarified that this is a forward thinking project. Bill Staton, 2396 McKinley Avenue, Louisville, CO inquired as to the total cost for the entire project. Mayor Muckle stated the estimated cost of the project would be $12.4 million dollars; with RTD paying $5 million and the balance split with the Town of Superior and the City of Louisville. He also noted there may be opportunities for federal funding. Darlene Nahodyl, 2333 Dogwood Circle, Louisville, CO stated her understanding is that RTD will not be extending light rail through Louisville, but instead will be increasing bus service. She stated this interchange improvement will provide an opportunity to improve those bus services.
