Recipient Study

Councilmember Cavey feels we should be cautious of strings attached.  
Sailer shared the County is doing multi-modal study and we will provide feedback.  
CDOT is undertaking a mobility hub study and looking at three sites at  
Wolfensberger and I-25, Brickyard area, and Pine Canyon.  
Cavey does not support as it opens the door stating we have mass transit in  
relation to the legislation, and opens the door to mass transit that could bring  
illegal immigrants.  
Dietz feels we should have discussion with the consultant and doesn't want to see  
us becoming a transportation hub, drug and sex trafficking hub.  
Brooks feels we should have the conversation, but connectivity within Castle  
Rock is needed.  
Corliss stated County may have some interest and should be included in the  
conversation.  
They are working to develop service plans for passenger rail from Ft. Collins to  
Pueblo and share rail with BNSF and/or UP rail lines.  
Cavey asked if we would be responsible if the rail stops here. Corliss stated only  
if we agree to be a location on the line. Cavey asked if this would be a state-wide  
ballot measure. Corliss stated they would set up the district boundary and we  
would be in it.
