The Official Newsletter of the ITE Colorado/Wyoming Section
Colorado/Wyoming Section Members:
It’s March! While the snow is still falling across the state, I
have seen plants blooming in my yard and realize that the warm temperatures and sunny
days are not far behind. Spring has officially begun and for ITE members, that means our 4th
Annual ITE/WTS/RMITS Joint Transportation Symposium. This years event will be held on
Friday April 7, 2006 at the historic Oxford Hotel in Downtown Denver. As always there will
be many wonderful presentations by local transportations professionals, and this year our
keynote speaker will be Cal Marsella, General Manager for RTD. Registration has begun, so
please visit the Colorado-Wyoming ITE website (www.cowyite.org) to make sure you don’t
miss out.
February was a busy month for the section. The February section meeting in Fort Collins
was a wonderful event. The City of Fort Collins graciously opened up their TOC for tours in
the morning, and then we moved across the street to the New Belgium Brewery and heard a
detailed presentation from Eric Bracke about the planning and design that took place to get
the TOC to where it is today. Thanks to both the City of Fort Collins and the New Belgium
Brewery for making it a memorable event. Next, on Saturday February 18th, several
members of the Section took the Ski Train to the Winter Park Ski Resort. While the
temperatures in Denver were in the single digits, Winter Park was in the low double digits
which made for a wonderful day of skiing, snowshoeing and hanging out on the deck.
Thanks to Eric Boivin for planning and organizing this event. Also thanks again to all of the
sponsors; All Traffic Data Services, Inc.; David Evans & Associates; Fred Lantz &
Associates; Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig; John Aldridge Consultants; Kimley Horn &
Associates; LSC Transportation Consultants; and WL Contractors for making the
Annual Ski Train trip possible.
Lastly, after the Spring Transportation Symposium in April, we will have one last meeting for
the 2005-2006 season. That meeting will be on Friday May 5, 2006 somewhere in the
Denver Metro Area. The meeting will be a full one with the presentation of the
Transportation Professional of the Year award, candidate speeches, and information about
the upcoming section elections. We have also received confirmation that current ITE District
VI President, Ken Ackeret, will be able to join us for the meeting. This is a wonderful
opportunity for the Section, so if you mark your calendars and plan on attending.
Thanks and see you at the Oxford!

February Meeting Highlights
By Curtis Rowe, Section Scribe
A luncheon meeting for the Colorado/Wyoming Section of ITE was held on Friday, February
24, 2006 at the New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins, Colorado. Prior to the luncheon
meeting, guided tours of the City of Fort Collins TOC were conducted by City of Fort Collins
Traffic Operations’ staff. Section President, Will Johnson, presided over the meeting that
was attended by 65 members and guests. The meeting was kicked off with a welcome and
a thank you to City of Fort Collins Staff for the tour of the TOC.
Mr. Will Johnson, Section President, then provided a few general announcements. The
annual ski train and ski event to Winter Park was a success again this year. The next Section meeting will be Friday, April 7, 2006, which is the annual joint symposium with WTS
and ITS Rocky Mountain. The meeting will be held at the Downtown Denver Oxford Hotel.
The following meeting will be held on Friday, May 5, 2006 in Lakewood and will include a
tour of the new CDOT TOC facility. In conjunction with that meeting, a MUTCD update
course will be offered.
Mr. Ben Waldman, Section Continuing Education Committee Chair, announced the next web seminar will be
conducted on March 23, 2006 regarding Safe Routes to
School. Additional information will be forthcoming.
Mr. Joe Henderson, Section Secretary/Treasurer then
identified Mr. Paul Brown of Carter Burgess as the winner of the Newsletter Contest. For winning the contest,
he was awarded a gift card. Mr. Henderson also announced that they are currently looking for nominations
for Leadership of the Section.
Mr. Bill Hange, Section Vice President, then opened
with roundtable introductions. After, Mr. Hange introduced the program speaker, Mr. Eric L. Bracke, P.E.,
PTOE of the City of Fort Collins. Mr. Bracke’s presentation, entitled “Advanced Traffic Management System,”
discussed the update of the modern TOC and the latest
in ITS technology in Fort Collins. He discussed the upgrade of their signal system, the TOC, the communication system, future plans, and lessons learned.

On the Move
By Craig Faessler, Membership Chair
Michael Levasseur took this “On the Move” thing serious. He has left the Denver
Regional Council of Governments and North America (!) and is sailing across the big pond
to London. Michael timed many of our corridors while at DRCOG and he will be missed.
Trent Marshall has jumped off the “public-sector” ship and is now working at JR Engineering. Matrix Design Group announced the recent hiring of Emily Gloeckner, and
Keith Thomas is now working at IDT Group. Navin Nageli has informed me that Karl
Buckholz (after many years of keeping Dave Baskett and the City of Lakewood out of hot
water!) and Tara Knudsen have joined Navjoy Consulting Services. Steve Durian (City
of Boulder) recently received his MS degree in construction management from DU and Sam
Abraham, Nate Allen, Mark Jahnke and Carrie Wallis are newly licensed professional
engineers. Recent additions to our Section include Jamie Archambeau (PBS&J), Victoria
Damm (UW), Ryan Germeroth (FHU), Zachary Gutierrez (UW), Gary Melillo
(Pendleton Resources), Arthur Miller (JR Engineering), Anna Smith (PBS&J), Brenda
Morales (CDOT R6) and Don Burger (Filtrona Extrusion).
If you recently changed jobs or joined ITE, the best way to let everyone know and to insure
you will continue to receive ITE news is to email me a quick note
([email protected]), and I will ensure the database gets updated and the information is published in the next newsletter.

Legislative Update
By Lyle DeVries, Legislative Committee
WHAT DID WE APPROVE, ANYWAY?
In the aftermath of last year’s election, Colorado legislators continue to debate the allocation of Referendum C money to transportation projects. Colorado’s lawmakers and citizenry
agree on the need for infrastructure spending, but controversy reigns when the dollars are
discussed. According to a Denver Post article published on February 9th, some say that
voters were told that money would be split equally among K-12 education, colleges and
health care. A look at the pre-election “Blue book,” however, indicates that passage of Referendum C “…permits the state to spend the money it collects over its limit for the next five
years on health care, public education, transportation projects, and local fire and police
pensions.” Clearly, transportation projects are within the parameters of the measure. To
what degree remains unclear.
Recent talks between Governor Owens and the state Joint Budget Committee have led to a
potential compromise that could provide about $350 Million for roadbuilding this year and
next, due both to the passage of Referendum C and the amount of tax money flowing into
state coffers.
Colorado ITE members may want to be involved in the debate over statewide transportation funding. For those wishing to support additional transportation appropriations, a
Transportation Advocates group has been organized to coordinate support for postReferendum C transportation funding. A resolution available for group adoption is available
from Sandra Solin of Capitol Solutions (303)837-1714.
As always, a call to your state representative is an effective way to participate in the
democratic process. A directory of state legislators may be found at:

NO PAY, NO PARK
Boulder’s state Senator Ron Tupa has introduced a bill to prevent the Regional Transportation District (RTD) from charging transit users to park at park-n-Ride facilities (Denver Post,
January 12, 2006). The bill is currently making its way through committees as Senate Bill
06-093. Tupa said transit users should be “outraged over the prospect of having to pay
twice.”
Tupa’s bill came in response to an RTD plan to implement daily parking charges for bus and
rail riders who live outside of the 8-county RTD tax district. In the interest of fairness, RTD
has stated a willingness to discuss its plan with Tupa.

Technical Briefs
By John LaSala, Technical Committee
The left-turn phasing sub-committee is actively involved with gathering data and conducting
analysis. We plan to present the results at the District 6 Annual Meeting in Honolulu this
June. The purpose of our study entails comparison of both the safety and operational effects of left turn phasing options by looking at the impacts to entire intersections rather
than focusing solely on the left turn movement in question. If you are interested in finding
out more about this study, please contact John La Sala ([email protected] 720913-0805) or Joe Henderson ([email protected] 303-441-5401).
During a brief two weeks in March, the pavement on Larimer Square in Denver was completely reconstructed in concrete. A mere four days into the project, virtually all of the concrete was poured. This work was accomplished by restricting all vehicles from using
Larimer Square, which encompasses one block between 14th and 15th Streets. However,
pedestrian traffic was not blocked, and businesses remained open. Also, a big help was
provided when the prime contractor, Concrete Works, subcontracted the services of the
second largest concrete pumping truck in the USA.

Web Seminar
By Bill Hange, Section Vice President
On Tuesday, February 7th Section members had the opportunity to participate in a live
ASCE Web/Teleconference Seminar hosted by The City of Loveland, the City of Littleton,
and the Colorado-Wyoming Section of ITE. The topic was The Modern Roundabout as a
Traffic Signal Alternative, and lasted approximately an hour and half. Approximately 60 city
employees and private consultants attended this free session. The teleconference was well
done and a very informative overview of roundabout designs, with examples by Nazir
Lalani.

[email protected]
Are traffic engineers expected to be experts on the traffic laws
that are created and modified by the legislature? It seems to me
that there continues to be some disconnect between what is
stated in the Statutes; what traffic engineers use as the basis of
traffic control strategies; what is required to become and continue
as a licensed driver in Colorado; and what the driving public
believes to be the “rules of the road”. Thus as I noted in the last
column, my “sermon” this time focuses on the driving public’s
understanding of roadway lane markings.
When and where I learned to drive passenger cars (I was 12 at
the time) the only lane markings I had to understand was the skip
line that showed the center of the two-lane road and the solid line
that showed the no-passing zones. At that time the closest multilane roadway (three lanes) was over 100 miles away and consisted of what was referred to
as the “suicide lane” since either direction of travel could use it as a passing lane. In the
last 50 years the MUTCD has been revised and expanded at least five times to reflect the
complexities of our current roadway system. Most of my contemporaries (some of them
practicing attorneys) have spent little time since first getting a license focused on traffic
control definitions (traffic engineering not being their life’s dream). As a consequence, I am
often put in the spot to explain the logic of various traffic control features. My most recent
example is the introduction of the double white lane lines that have shown up not only on
freeways but also along some arterials. The question is the difference between the solid
single and double white, also the wider line separation between the lines that appear to be
misplaced bike lanes along HOV’s. The general understanding of most drivers is that they
could be “ticketed” for an illegal lane change simply by crossing any solid white line regardless of the traffic conditions in either lane.
Turning first to the Colorado Revised Statutes, the section describing required driving conduct is divided into four separate Parts (10 pages) of the 253 page Section 42-4. By comparison, the driving while intoxicated Part is 28 pages. These Statutes, as they relate to
lane markings, state that no driver shall disobey the instructions of an official traffic control
device. They go on to state that CDOT shall adopt a traffic control manual consistent with
the MUTCD (including its official definitions) as well as a Colorado Supplement that reflects
specific differences with the national manual. Turning then to the MUTCD’s section on
white lane lines, Sec 3A.04 defines a double line (yellow or white) as consisting of two
parallel lines (normal or wide) separated by a discernible distance, with no other
Conveyances—March 2006 Page 12
description. In Sec 3B.04 I find it stating that crossing a single broken (skip) white lane line
is permitted when done so with care. It goes on to state that crossing a single solid lane
line is discouraged. It concludes with crossing two normal solid white lane lines is prohibited
(underlining is mine). These sections are then followed in the Manual with eight pages of
example uses of lane line markings, none of which show the application of a double white
line. The only such examples appear in Sec 3B.23 entitled Preferential Lane Markings for
Motor Vehicles which shows the application of double wide lines with a narrow separation
to delineate HOV lanes next to open traffic lanes.
The current edition of the August 05 Colorado Drivers Manual (which is not included or
referenced in my mail-in license renewal notice) is now a 36-page document. Pavement
markings are covered in part of a single page in section 10.1c under broken white lines:
“You may change lanes if is safe to do so” and under solid white lines: “Require you to stay
within the lane and also marks the shoulder of the road”. There is no mention of a double
white line, only a description of Restricted Lanes, noting that they are to be signed and
marked with a diamond.
Local police officers tell me that crossing solid white lines (single or double) is seldom
enforced as a Statute violation unless it creates an incident, and then is written as an
unsafe lane change as opposed to an illegal lane change.
Finally, by way of a quiz question (the correct answer covers the cost of the next meeting),
based upon the above discussion, the crossing which of the following lane line conditions is
a Statute violation?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
PS: CRS 42-4-602 requires any three signals within one minute of each other to be
coordinated.
