Open Space Advisory Board Minutes June 12, 2024 Page 3 of 6 See packet for other updates about water to Harney-Lastoka, fishing line recycling, national trails day event, accessible trails program, trail etiquette campaign, and new trash cans. Ember shared a summary of the city council discussion last month about e-bike speed limits. David — there could be better communication about the accessible trails event to clarify that able bodied people could attend. Ember will send communication to David and ask for his edits. Ember noted that for the accessible trails program, staff reached out to hospitals, physical therapists, disability advocates and others about the event. She also noted that staff really want it to be open to anyone — people with and without disabilities. 7. 7:15 pm Board Updates (10 Minutes) • Downtown Revitalization Plan -South Street Underpass Susan attended the Louisville Revitalization Commission (LRC) May meeting about the downtown revitalization plan and South Street Underpass to better understand the rationale and funding sources for the underpass and to learn if there were any attempts to use open space funds to help fund the project. She reported that the project is currently estimated to cost $10 million. There is $3 million committed from the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG), but that commitment will expire mid -July. City is asking the LRC for $5 million, but that has not yet been committed. That leaves another $2 million with no clear funding mechanism. She will attend the next meeting on June 19, when LRC will likely decide about its commitment. Susan noted that the underpass was originally developed as part of the planning for the light rail stop. Since that is not in the near -term picture, one of the current arguments in support of the project is that the underpass could connect downtown to additional parking. • Public Works Communication David: The Public Works department reached out to David about engineering communication to the public. He is not yet sure what specific issues they would like to address. David will meet with them in about 5 weeks. He is happy to share any thoughts OSAB members have. 8. 7:25 pm Discussion Item: Review a Draft Ordinance Amending and Clarifying OSAB's Role Related to Quasi -Judicial Matters.
