They are <br />looking at a Park and Ride use area presently, <br />which is being considered by the Board; <br />also for some shelters for their ridership. <br />The emphasis for the newly elected R.T.D. <br />Board is to make ~ bus system to work <br />correctly before trying anything new. He <br />reiterated the input from the people of <br />Louisville would be welcomed. He intro- <br />c3.uced two members of his staff - Wulf Grote, <br />Transportation Engineer, Division of Planning <br />and Design and Violet Peabody of the Marketing <br />Division and stated they would answer any <br />question council might have. <br />Wulf Grote Mr. Grote stated he would speak about the <br />Park and Ride Proposal Park and Ride proposal for this area. They <br />U.S. 36 & McCaslin Blvd. are preparing a package of several park and <br />Interchange ride projects to be considered by their <br /> Board of Directors.

The proposal for this <br /> area would serve Louisville, Superior, and <br /> some of the areas in incorporated Boulder <br /> County. Because the existing bus service <br /> to the area that is presently a.lbng. <br /> U.S'~. 36, they feel that the logical place <br /> for the park and ride facility would be <br /> in the vicinity of McCaslin Blvd./ U.S. 36 <br /> Interchange. At this time they have appoxi- <br /> mat:ely 137 daily bus trips going back and <br /> forth on U.S. 36 and it would be just a matter <br /> of diverting it into a park and ride at the <br /> interchange. An alternative analysis of <br /> five sites was conducted. The result of the <br /> analysis showed a favored site to be located <br /> at the south side of U.S. 36 and west of <br /> McC:aslin Blvd. This three acre parcel of <br /> land is presently owned by the Colorado <br />
