Title
A Resolution Authorizing the Disposal of City Real Property to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)
Presenter:
Gayle Sturdivant, City Engineer, Public Works Department
Darlene Kennedy, Real Estate Services Manager
Body
Summary:
The Public Works Department desires to transfer approximately 24,826 square feet of land to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) as this parcel of land is part of US Highway 24 (US-24).
Background:
In 2017, a Right of Way Plan and Land Acquisition Approval was issued by CDOT to El Paso County. The project included construction of a Park & Ride, construction of New Meridian Road from Falcon Highway to U.S. Highway 24 (US 24), intersection improvements at New Meridian Road and US 24, intersection improvements to what is now “Old Meridian Road” and US 24 and associated drainage improvements, and a full spectrum detention pond (the Project).
All funding for the Project came from El Paso County.
Project Parcel RW-1A (RW-1A) was located within Colorado Springs city limits. Therefore, RW-1A was deeded to the City of Colorado Springs (map attached as Memo Exhibit A).
Pursuant to the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between El Paso County and CDOT, CDOT has requested that Parcel RW-1A, located within CDOT’s US 24 Right-of-Way, now be conveyed to CDOT.
