Unofficial Mini BBC 'Hot' Projects List:

Although we did not have enough time to discuss these items and any proposal for a BBC 'hot' projects list for the City, the following mini-list was compiled from the comments forwarded by several people. This is not necessarily a comprehensive or prioritized list, but is a starting point for continuing discussion and negotiations with the City:

• Completion of 30^th Street On-Street Bike Lanes.
• Completion of Pearl Street On-Street Bike Lanes.
• Goose Creek connection from dead-end at '29^th' through and under 28^th St. and points west.
• "Soccer Field Path" between 47^th and Cottonwood trail (under B&N RR.) currently dead-ends.
• "Elks Club Path" (extension of above) ends after 28^th. Lacks connection through Parks&Rec. property to 26^th and points west.

(Big Note on Elks Property: City Planning is attempting to push through a new street piggy-backed onto the proposed Marriot assisted living facility on the Elks property. The City's suggested layout would include four 90-degree turns and surround the Elks swimming pool and parking area by a street. The bike path is an important link to 47^th. but no road should be super-imposed on the Assisted Living center.

• Walnut east from 38^th St. under Foothills to business park and connection to Boulder Creek Path. The existing, good, bike-lane on Walnut 'evaporates' at 38^th where the street shoulder ends and the pavement edge becomes ragged.
• Old Iris under Foothills at Burlington Northern underpass
• Burlington Northern Trail from 47^th to Pearl. And 32^nd.
• Valmont Underpass at 'Junk-Yard' and connection to Creek Path / Old-Pearl.
• Chicken-farm trail to Valmont / Airport Rd and 63^rd.
• 63^rd Bike Lanes from Jay south.
• Valmont extension segment over 'old-Valmont-bridge' where Pearl-Parkway links in.
• Cherryvale bike lanes: (County) Baseline to S.Bldr Road, and more importantly to Marshall Rd. (note bridge over 36)
