These are <br /> in the form of Metro Districts, Special <br /> Districts, cooperative efforts between the <br /> State, County, and cities. This question <br /> hasn't yet been examined; but is an impor- <br /> tant part of the study. This will be handled <br /> by one of their sub-consultants TransPlan, <br /> Inc. out of Boulder. <br /> Meetings are held each month and the meeting <br /> is a cooperative one between Broomfield, <br /> Louisville, County of Boulder, DRCOG and <br /> the State Highway Depmrtment. Other cities <br /> and counties are invited to attend. In <br /> addition they plan to have 2 public meetings <br /> in Phase II. When the Phase II study has <br /> been completed it will be presented to <br /> the Louisville City Council, Louisville <br /> Planning Commission, Broomfield Council and <br /> Planning Commission, Boulder Planning Com- <br /> mission and County Commissioners. Alterna- <br /> tive locations will be dropped off to a <br /> maximum of 4 and after extensive evaluation <br /> one will be determined. The negative as <br /> well as the positive aspects of the evalu- <br /> ation is a requirement of DRCOG when you <br /> go in for an amendment. <br /> When an interchange is put in at any lo- <br /> cation, one of the primary criteria that <br /> DRCOG, the State Highway Dept. and the Federal <br /> Highwy Commission look at is does the high- <br /> way serve more than just a Local function, <br /> and what is the connectability to the regional <br /> system? Mr. Yoshioka also stated that be- <br /> cause this is part of a US highway, part <br /> of the amendment process will have to be <br /> an enviornmental assessment. <br />
