Committee supports advancing Plains Parkway signal IGA with Arapahoe County and CDOT signal‑maintenance renewal
Summary
The committee reviewed two intergovernmental agreements: a cost‑share IGA with Arapahoe County to add a signal at Plains Parkway/Lehigh/Piccadilly and a five‑year renewal with CDOT for maintenance of CDOT‑owned signals in Aurora. Members supported advancing both items to the next study session.
Deputy Director Carly Camposano presented two intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) and asked the committee to support advancing both items to the next study session.
Plains Parkway signal: Camposano said the city and Arapahoe County will split design and construction costs 50/50 for a new traffic signal at Plains Parkway, Lehigh Avenue and Piccadilly Road. Because Piccadilly straddles the city–county line, the intersection is an interjurisdictional location. Staff provided an initial construction estimate of about $1.1 million and said the city will manage design and construction; construction is expected to start in 2026 if advanced. The committee signaled support to forward the IGA to the study session.
CDOT signal maintenance IGA: Camposano also presented a five‑year renewal of the city’s agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to operate and maintain CDOT‑owned signals inside Aurora; staff explained the city currently maintains roughly 400 signals overall and 76 of those are CDOT-owned. Camposano said CDOT increased the maintenance fee by roughly 12% for the new term and that CDOT pays the city annually under the agreement. Committee members indicated support to move the CDOT maintenance IGA forward for study-session consideration.
Committee outcome: Councilmember Lawson verbally stated, “I support moving it forward,” when asked; no formal roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript. Staff characterized both items as ready to advance to the next available study session for formal consideration.
Next steps: staff will place both IGAs on the study session agenda for formal consideration and, if approved, will proceed with design for Plains Parkway signal and execute the five‑year CDOT maintenance renewal.
