REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
RESOLUTION: 2008-11
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing condemnation for property interests needed across 11501 West Colfax Avenue and 1485 Simms Street for the Colfax/Simms Street Intersection Improvement Project.
ADDRESS: 11501 West Colfax Avenue and 1485 Simms Street.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this resolution.
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The purpose of intersection improvements at West Colfax Avenue and Simms Street
is to improve traffic flow and enhance safety. The project will widen Simms
Street to add double left turns on northbound Simms. West Colfax Avenue will
also be widened to add double left turns on westbound Colfax and a right turn
lane will be added for eastbound Colfax. Sidewalks will be added to both sides
of both streets.
It was necessary for the City to purchase easements and fee simple parcels from twelve different property owners in order to construct this project. Ordinance O-2006-20 authorized the acquisitions necessary for this project. Negotiations were successful and the needed property interests were purchased from ten property owners. Negotiations were unsuccessful in coming to agreement with the two remaining owners. City staff has been negotiating to purchase the required property interests since October 16, 2007.
To preserve the opportunity to complete construction during 2008, it is now necessary to initiate the condemnation process for the necessary property interests on the remaining two properties. Negotiations will continue while condemnation is initiated.
FUNDING SOURCE: Lakewood Capital Improvement Funds and federal fund.
