PROSPECT ROAD AND CENTER AVENUE UNDERPASS PROGRAM PLAN

COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY FORT COLLINS, COLORADO

Aug 11, 2015 Prepared by:

Colorado State University Facilities Management Department

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This document provides planning information for a proposed pedestrian and bicycle underpass at Prospect Rd and Center Ave in Fort Collins, Colorado. Prospect Rd is a major arterial running along the south edge of CSU’s main campus. In recent years a large amount of student housing has been built off of Center Ave and the volume of bicycles and pedestrians crossing at Prospect and Center has increased. CSU and the City of Fort Collins have also evaluated the intersection in light of the new stadium and have found that a grade separated crossing provides the highest level of pedestrian and bicycle safety. The overall schedule to complete project is 10 months. The estimated cost of the project is $6.0M, to be financed by excess proceeds from bonds issued under the Intercept program for the South Campus Parking Lot and the University Square Parking Garage. Favorable Design Build cost proposals on the above projects resulted in significant savings to the university, and the underpass project can be completed within the existing bond debt.

2.0 JUSTIFICATION Prospect Rd is a major arterial running along the south edge of CSU’s main campus. In recent years a large amount of student housing has been built off of Center Ave and the volume of bicycles and pedestrians crossing at Prospect and Center has increased. CSU and the City of Fort Collins have also evaluated the intersection in light of the new stadium and have found that a grade separated crossing provides the highest level of pedestrian and bicycle safety. 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The underpass will cross Prospect Road West of Center Avenue and will require demolition of one of the Aggie Village South apartment units. The redevelopment of Aggie Village North planned for this underpass and the project will not impact any of the new buildings. 4.0 BENEFITS

The benefits of this project include:

• Provide a safe bicycle and pedestrian crossing at Prospect Road • Provide better connectivity between Main and South campuses

5.0 FACILITIES NEEDS

5.1 Conceptual Plan A conceptual plan is included in Appendix A. The briding documents for the Design Build procurement have been developed.

5.2 Existing Site Analysis Site constraints include the following:

• Aggie Village South apartment building #19 will need to be deconstructed in order to provide adequate ramp length to the tunnel. Aggie Village North redevelopment (currently underway) will provide adequate room for the entrance ramp.

5.3 Floodplain Analysis

The site does not reside in the floodplain, as shown on the diagram below.

5.4 LEED Goal/Sustainability

Not applicable.

5.5 Acquisition of Real Estate No Land acquisition is required, the land within the project area is owned by the CSU Board of Governors. 4

6.0 PROJECT COST

The estimated cost of the project is $6.0M, to be financed by excess proceeds from bonds issued under the Intercept program for the South Campus Parking Lot and the University Square Parking Garage. Favorable Design Build cost proposals on the above projects resulted in significant savings to the university, and the underpass project can be completed within the existing bond debt. The project budget is included in Appendix B.

7.0 PROJECT SCHEDULE

The overall schedule is estimated at 10 months.

8.0 RELATION TO MASTER PLAN AND OTHER PROJECTS
