<br /> .., . <br />regard to this issue please return to the April 16th Council meeting. <br />Art Newmann, 10935 Dillon Road <br />Newmann: I have a question about Boulder County funding <br /> this highway all by itself. I'm lead to believe <br /> that's in Boulder County. Now we're starting out <br /> in 128, which is Boulder County, this is where the <br /> road is going to start, I don't know where it's <br /> going to end. Somebody said, well Broomfield got <br /> this annexed up here so it'll end up someplace up <br /> there. Where does it end, can you people tell me <br /> where it's going to end? Are we buying a poke in <br /> a sack. <br />Hornbostel: It ends at 125, our portion of it would go along <br /> 128 south of Superior, go up 96th Street, Dillon <br /> Road then up to 287, which would go to 125. <br /> Eventually that was supposed to meet up with E-470 <br /> and is supposed to meet up there somewhere. I <br /> don't know if it is supposed to meets directly <br /> with it or near it. <br />Newmann: Are we kidding ourself when we are saying here <br /> that this is a part of the road or what are we <br /> doing? What are we doing here, I don't under- <br /> stand. We get about 5, 6 maybe 10 miles that the <br /> taxpayers are going to have to pay for, for laying <br /> it out here. Really all we are trying to do is <br /> buy open space I believe. I don't see any use for <br /> this road. You've got a road from 128 to I-25 and <br /> nothing else from there. I don't get it. <br />Hornbostel: The one thing that's good about this portion of it <br /> is the reason we went to the existing roads <br /> concept was that these were roads that we were <br /> going to have to expand anyway, in our municipali <br /> ties. By having this it allows us a mechanism so <br /> that somebody else is going to pay for this road <br /> besides Louisville. <br />Newmann: Nobody is going to pay for the road, Margaret, <br /> accept the taxpayers and I am one of them. This <br /> is the point I am trying to make. We are not <br /> trying to buy a pig in a sack, we're trying to <br /> figure out what you people are doing here. If you <br /> are going to try to unload on us a little short <br /> piece of road here to get the open space you want <br /> for 20 million dollars or whatever the taxpayers <br /> are going to pay, doesn't make a lot of sense to <br /> me. There are all kinds of alternative here but <br /> nobody seems to be taking these alternatives, they <br /> are just avoiding this and we seem to go along <br /> with the Boulder Commissioners seeming to think <br /> that open space is clear thing here and it really <br /> 14 <br />
