SW BOONES FERRY ROAD NTMP — PROJECT TIMELINE

March 1987
Bureau of Traffic Management responds to Collins View Neighborhood Association's request to consider Boones Ferry Road from Taylors Ferry Road to Terwilliger Blvd. for a Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) project.

July 1987
Collins View Neighborhood Association unanimously voted to request a 4-way stop sign at Boones Ferry/Primrose/Palatine Hill intersections. Also requested is a SPEED ZONE AHEAD sign on Boones Ferry near Taylors Ferry and movement of the 25 MPH sign to just prior to the residential area on Boones Ferry.

August 1987
Bureau of Traffic Management responds to Collins View Neighborhood Association's requests by stating that stop sign warrants have not been met at the requested intersection, and that the sign change requests are not standard practice at such a location.

November 1987
Collins View Neighborhood Association writes to Bureau of Traffic Management expressing concern regarding the impact of the Taylors Ferry/Terwilliger reconstruction project on Boones Ferry traffic. Opposition to using Boones Ferry as a detour route is voiced, and it is requested that Boones Ferry be given consideration during the Taylors Ferry / Terwilliger project.

June 1988
Bureau of Traffic Management responds to the second Collins View Neighborhood Association neighborhood needs request regarding Boones Ferry, notifying them that the Boones Ferry request qualified for a NTMP (the project scored 80 out of a possible 100 points). However, it was not to be undertaken until completion of the Terwilliger Bridge project, which was then anticipated to be in 1989.

December 1989
The Taylors Ferry/Terwilliger reconstruction project is completed.

January 1991
Bureau of Traffic Management responds to a third neighborhood needs request from Collins View Neighborhood Association stating the project may be undertaken if there is neighborhood support.

Collins View Neighborhood Association responds to Bureau of Traffic Management and supports undertaking Boones Ferry as a NTMP.

April 1991
Collins View Neighborhood Association returns the petition with the necessary number of signatures to proceed with the NTMP for Boones Ferry.
