Motion authorizing the partnership with CDOT on the Main Street Chip seal treatment
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that Council approve the partnership including sharing the costs with CDOT to apply a Chip Seal treatment on Main Street.

Background:
Since the implementation of the Downtown Road Diet, the visibility of the old paint markings has been an issue. At certain times of the day, the refection of the old markings are more dominant than the new paint causing confusion with drivers. Staff and CDOT feel that a Chip seal treatment will resolve the current problems and are in agreement to share the expenses and apply a Chip Seal treatment that will resolve the issue.
Issue Before the Council:
Does Council wish to approve the cost share?

Alternatives:
Do nothing and apply paint and tabs as needed, but the old lines will continue to reflect light during certain times of the day.


Fiscal Impact:
The total cost of the project is $41,895, which means the City's share is  $20,947.50

Legal Opinion:
City Attorney will be available for questions

Conclusion:
Moving forward with the Chip Seal will resolve the confusion drivers are experiencing.
