ahead with this proposal. <br />John Leary, 1116 LaFarge, Louisville, Co. <br />Leary: I see this proposal as one that is providing the <br />City with great opportunities in a number of <br />areas. A survey was done by the city not too long <br />ago and one thing that was the highest priority on <br />the list was open space. We have an opportunity <br />here to fulfill a priority of the city with <br />resources that are competing with other things <br />that we need to do. The business community puts a <br />high priority on roads and transportation systems. <br />This highway issue is a very important issue, once <br />this goes by we are not going to have anything <br />else that can force people to the table. It is <br />only going to be good will. I think we need to <br />talk to Broomfield about what we are going to have <br />around an interchange, like make sure there are <br />setbacks and landscaping. I think the public is <br />tired of having a Council that seems to accomplish <br />nothing but fighting. We have a proposal here <br />that is reasonable, it uses existing roads, it has <br />a cost that is in the ballpark of what can be <br />afforded. It provides the opportunity to phase <br />these things as they are needed. I think it is <br />your responsibility to show that you do have the <br />ability to govern, to compromise, and to look at <br />other people's positions and honor them. This <br />alternative was difficult for me, it involved <br />trade offs that I don't like to make. I have <br />never seen any studies that support the airport <br />access arguments or the economic development <br />arguments. The net to this proposal is positive. <br />I would encourage you to support this proposal and <br />I would encourage you to take advantage of these <br />proposals. <br />Sackett: Was there consideration given to the idea of <br />extending, 96th to 42 and then follow 42 east to <br />Broomfields curved road there instead of Dillon? <br />Hornbostel: No, it was not mentioned. <br />Sackett: I thought that might enhance Louisville to some <br />degree rather than Dillon Road. I felt that one <br />thing we would want to do is connect 96th with 42 <br />and that would insure that would happen. Then you <br />use 42 out by the cemetery and that would connect <br />with the curve roadway that is not built yet. <br />Hornbostel: It wouldn't connect directly because you have to <br />go through Lafayette for a portion of the time. <br />You would have to go from our 42 on South Boulder <br />Road. Basically the alternates that they had <br />5 <br />
